‘Why is not a good question’

Heard in my class last week.

I teach refugee women English as they make the transition from their own countries to Britain.

We talk about the question words and what they mean and when they are used. The women are keen to demonstrate the use of who, what, where, when and how but they stumble at why.

Language learning is a challenge they work hard to meet head on.

New ways of thinking and new ways of being will perhaps be the greater challenge.
