My last ESOL class

Twice a year I teach ESOL (English) to kids on a holiday programme from Korea (Feb) and Japan (July/Aug). In the morning I teach them English and in the afternoon they get to do all kinds of fun stuff (jet boating, horse riding, ice skating, boating, hot pools etc) that they would never do at home. We have a farwell party for them (kind of like a concert, they do maori dancing that they learn here in my class, and then they do a bit of a talent show) that my kids love to attend. It is the funnest job in the world, and here are some photos of my last lot of Korean kids


At least twice a week we get them together with the boys at Shirley Boys High to talk and do a bit of cross-cultural communication

Here I am with their teachers, Mrs Lee and Mr Kim at the zoo


he he he, i am so mean. None of them have ever set foot on grass before and i make them go outside and take off their shoes and socks and run around... they always hate it and try to avoid it for as long as possible!




Doing customer/shopkeeper roleplays - David was the only boy that didn't make a fuss of wearing the apron, he was such a good sport
