English Corners – Spring 2014

May 6th, 2014 · 1 Comment · Uncategorized

We typically hold an English Corner in our apartment each week, giving our students the opportunity to practice their English.  Susan usually teaches an English lesson, and we often play games with English words:Hangmaneat green foods on St. Patrick’s day:StPats Dayand dye eggs at Easter:EggselentWhen students come to our home for the first time, we have them put a sticker on our China map to show their hometown:Map StickerHundreds of stickers are on the map.  While most of them are on our province, it is interesting to see how many students have come from all over the country:map with stickersSometimes, we go outside for English Corner, like this recent hike up the nearby mountain:???????????????????????????????Along the way, someone found a very nervous turtle:???????????????????????????????Of course, we stopped to eat some western food (granola bars):???????????????????????????????Thanks for joining our English Corner!English Girls

    Love the map idea, too. I follow a DIY blog here and they do something similar but on theirs they mark anyplace they’ve travelled to whether on vacay or business. Interesting to see all that it represents, isn’t it?! Great that you have had so many to come and learn such wonderful things. 🙂
