worked in korea six years, taiwan one. four months coming to china. working with kids 8-13. here in korea the boss decides on a text. kids get gogo, or new parade, or whatever. one book. the associated workbook not. copy the sheets we're doing that day for 'handouts'. if that runs out there are other workbook/activity type books with relevant pages for the day's focus, to copy as handouts. about eight kids per class.
a poster here said, 'china is half way to where korea's at'. is working with kids 8-13 in a cram school 8 kids per class, like korea. or are the classes larger. i'm thinking maybe they aren't issued a textbook. maybe the ones i'm used to, modern, up to date, just aren't going to be there. not even a copier, even. or no allowance for making copies for everyone.
never occured to me to bring over a copy of each book i'm familiar with and like to use for that age bracket, but would you suggest it?
the usual cram school in korea has a 'whiteboard' and black dry erase markers. chalkboards and chalk went out quite awhile ago. chinese cramschools?
cheers
