Did you know that you can use episodes of The Office for English classes? Well, I figured out that it is a great teaching tool. The Office has not really been introduced in K'rdistan yet, seeing as none of my students knew what it was. However, the seasons are available at the Bazaar, which is quite amusing. I even had one student ask if he could burn the disc I had in the computer. They really seemed to enjoy it and really get much of the humor. I had to give them a lot of background information, but that helped greatly.
The episode we watched was from season 2: The Injury. I chose this one because we had been talking about health, wellness, and medicine (disabilities, etc.) during the previous 3 classes, so I felt this would fit in well. Those Office fans I know should know how this particular episode ends; with Michael trying to get his foot in the CAT scan with Dwight. Well, my students had to split into groups and write the ending to the episode. This proved to be quite amusing. One of the groups had the doctors diagnosing Michael with a mental disability and sent him to the psych ward. They are quite imaginative here in K'stan. I have found a new way to teach!
