Remember the first time I taught English? It’s fine. I barely remember it. But I never returned to that classroom since that first semester I began as an English language instructor for the university… until today.

Year Zero Mini with the Faculty
After submitting the proposal for the Bengkel Permainan Lipur Lara untuk Pengajaran & Pembelajaran (TTRPGs in Teaching and Learning Workshop) programme, I organised the event and ran it for six participants today.
