English Village!!

Okay, so you have all been wondering where I will be teaching for the next year. I am going to tell you, so hold on tight...are you ready for this: I am teaching in the English Village! Okay, I know what you are thinking: "What is the English Village?"

The English Village (EV) is a place for students to come and practice speaking their English in an English only environment! In this EV there are five different stations that the kids go through in one day: There is the airport station which has a mock airport, and airplane set up, there is the bank station, the cafe station, the fashion store station, and the market store station. Throughout this year, all of the teachers will be teaching these five stations. Each teacher is not assigned just one station for the whole year, however. We will be rotating through and teaching the different stations. Our team leader's desire is to have us master each of the stations so that if need be we can just step right and teach that class.

The EV is connected with the Nan Jung Junior High school. They are the ones that take care of the building and are our go-to people if we need anything, or have any question. The grades of this school are 7th, 8th, and 9th. Occasionally the kids from the Nan Jung Junior High School will come to the EV, but normally it is elementary aged students from other schools in the area.

Really the only downside to the EV is that the kids only come for one day, (unless we are doing camps) and then they leave. Meaning, we won't have the same kids every day. We will have a new group of kids every day! Other than that, the EV is great!! It is pretty awesome! It will make teaching all the more fun!! :)
