Hi There Everyone, I'm in the process of researching material which will help me to write then present at least the first half-dozen or so lesson plans on the topic of 'globalisation' (British spelling!). The material is to help another (Cantonese) teacher here who will complete the work of a total ...

Hi there, Hope you don't mind a long story but I feel I've got to try and give you something in exchange for a request for something I need that I've been searching hard for, but can't find. I worked in a school 8 years ago where they used large A4-size photocopies of pictures with a situation in th...

Hello there Susha, Your posting is quite unintelligible. Could you be a little more clear? If you are asking whether native English speakers here in China had learned Chinese (for any particular reason) then I would have a reply for you. That's what seems to be implied by your subject question for t...

I'll try that again! Too many things on my plate right now, sorry Mark, I meant you when I said Mike. Suffice to say the class I'm thinking of working with is a Form 6 here in Hong Kong- AS Level English.

Hi there! Try entering the room wearing your jumper inside out, or back to front, or shoes on the wrong feet- but you need to be a good actor, and pretend that nothing's wrong! Also, culturally, the Chinese never use cotton hankies.... pretend to sneeze, blow your nose, make a real show of folding i...

Hello there all, I would first of all like to thank 'Leo' for posting a reply to my request for flashcards, a long time ago- last April! I have been busy with a new baby in the family, so sorry it took me so long to thank you! I finally bought the flashcards from ESLkidsstuff, in England, very very ...

Hello there, I'm working in Hong Kong and have been trying to get a source- a producer- of flashcards for use in the classroom here for a long time without success. I am of the opinion that teaching new vocabulary without these is like Sysiphus and his rock pushed uphill for eternity- poor fellow. I...
