here we go again .... this small chapter is about the job i did at the time after I finished at Yuexiu College in early July. I agreed to do an 11day intensive summer school for Li Yang Crazy English. Crazy English is a phenomenon here in China where they teach the Chinese how to express themselves without being so self concsious. They are terribly afraid of saying the wrong thing ... so in most cases say nothing. Crazy English has them out in the street/park/open space speaking very loudly.... it is quite funny to watch really. So the summer school was a very big challenge trying to plan lessons for the 3 different class levels each day. AT the end I was stuffed. It was like doing a whole semester in 11 days. Enough about my workload at the summer school. It was a very interesting experience and valuable work experience. The students were great and the people I worked for were great also.
Anyway, I worked this summer school for the 11 days. My job was not to get tem to yell the English but more of the same type of oral english I had done at Yuexiu. The big difference here was that I had 3 grades of classes. Primary, Middle school and an adult class. At Yuexiu College I taught only 2nd year college students.
So here are a couple of pic's of the school location. It is a "party" school. And I dont mean a fun party, if you know what I mean. "Party" as is THE party here in China. Butthe facilities were good. Food was ok mostly. I did have to share my room woth 2 other chinese guys. One was a old student of mine(Peter) from Yuexiu who I knew obviously and the other a very smart guy who was a chinese university teacher. His name was Owen. And there is always the students that make an impression. Pic's here on the group together in the hotel hallway and some others who made an impression.
