Halloween and Ghost Festival


As the Unit 3 talks about Halloween and the Ghost Festival, I invited Jessica to have a casual conversation with my two gifted students in English through Skype. On top of that, she gave us a campus tour of her university, including the gym, the student center, and one of the classrooms.

English Camp: Reading and Speaking with Picture Books


Lesson Plan
I've been interested in improving my English pronunciation and intonation by reading stories out loud and using my voice to bring the characters alive. Also, by helping students with their English speech contests and readers theater competitions, I developed some techniques to enhance their performance. Therefore, for this year's English camp, why not incorporate picture books into voice training and reading?

Teaching Demonstration: Reading Comprehension with TBL


Today, I did a teaching demonstration with my homeroom class for a group of professors and students from Beijing Normal University and South China Normal University.
