That is them, we are us.
The temple was smaller than most, enclaved in an inconspicuous spot off the side of the main road. Auntie visited the temple regularly to offer prayers. This time, she took me along and gave me a little steel pot of milk to hold on to as we queued up along the narrow stone path. The

An ode to pulses,
I put on those glasses less than a decade ago. Not rose-colored shades, but those ugly matrix style ones that reframed and re-contextualized my baseline understanding and knowledge of the world. And ever since then, I’ve been attempting to Google “how to decolonize my life” as if WikiHow would magically spit out a five step

Deep processing for EFL practice with Kiku.
After I realized that the need to target specific listening skills was imperative to improve overall student performance, the activities I began to employ within Kiku have begun to increasingly rely on recall abilities. This meant listening activities needed to be more than shallow regurgitations of temporarily acquired material. Exercising recall meant that students would
