Teaching English Through English Made Easy: Fun with Imperatives

To use English as the medium of instruction, a non-native English teacher has to conduct his or her classes in English, creating tremendous pressure and even disbelief about this government-initiated policy. The hidden truth leading to criticism or indifference among local English teachers is that most teachers falsely believe they have to speak English and lecture about grammar throughout the whole class.

To provide a crash course and plug-and-play resources, I have crafted engaging activity ideas, appealing visual aids, word-for-word activity instruction scripts, and demo videos for teachers in both big cities and rural areas to change their mindset and start giving it a try with their students. I aim to lead by example and demonstrate to local English teachers that teaching English through English is absolutely feasible.
