Xiangzhou teachers and students learn English

Valerie conducts an interactive exercise with middle school students during one of her demonstration lessons. In the back of the room, teachers take notes on Valerie’s techniques.


Nathan works with primary school students during a demonstration lesson. Teachers in the back of the class are observing Nathan’s teaching techniques. On Thursday and Friday of Week Two, teachers worked in groups to develop and teach a lesson. During Week Three, each teacher will develop and teach an individual lesson.


Some of the Xiangzhou team relax (or maybe we are preparing for class) in the Staff Room between sessions. (Valerie, Jeff (standing), Nathan, and Joanne) The school has provided a very well-equipped work area for us complete with computers, printers, scanners, wireless internet access, etc. Just down the hall is a staff lounge stocked snacks. No one is going hungry on this trip!


One day Jeff was late getting to camp. One of the leaders asked, “Have you had your breakfast?” Jeff replied, “It’s OK.” A few minutes later, a leader brought this tray with breads, sweet potatoes and soup. Care to calculate the carb content? (Actually, Jeff ate part of one roll – but he certainly felt looked after!)
