Meet Janessa's Helper and Class

Greetings from China!

I wanted to introduce you to my helper and my class. My helper's name is Carmen and she is a university student majoring in English. She is a lovely young lady and I ask that you be thinking about the time that I spend with her the next two weeks.

I have a group of primary students, who are around 12 years old, as my "homeroom" group. Of course, we all get to have each of the students but this group will spend the most time with me.

Be thinking of our team! Day 1 is always a bit chaotic and so we are hoping that day 2 will be nice an smooth. It is incredibly hot (as usual) and some are still struggling with jet lag.

I'm sure Charlie has noted this already but if you are on Instagram, please feel free to view the pictures that I have been posting. :-)

Scope

Four teams will be leading instruction in English for 2014.

DOUMEN, Guangdong, China - A team of 13 will be at Doumen for a two-week camp for primary and middle school students (about 120 total students). This camp will complement a two-week teacher training (for about 80 teachers). There will also be a senior high camp during week three. The team consists of HU students, faculty, and local community members. This is in cooperation with the Doumen Education Bureau.

ZHONGSHAN, Guangdong, China - A team of 12 will be at Zhongshan for a three-week teacher training program. We will train 90 teachers in all (30 primary, 30 middle school, and 30 high school). The team consists of HU students, alum, faculty, and local community members. This is in cooperation with the Zhongshan Education Bureau.

ZHUHAI, Guangdong, China - A team of 7 will be at Zhuhai #1 Senior High School for a 10 day English camp for about 80 students. This team consists of a camp director and 6 HU students, all with some TESOL coursework and experience. This camp is in cooperation directly with the Zhuhai #1 Senior High School.

HUNTINGTON, Indiana, USA - A TEFL certification course during this same time frame in July on the Huntington University campus in Huntington, Indiana. We are expecting 13 English teachers and university English majors from China to attend. There are also 6 local participants. Participants will take classes each day and earn a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) Certification at the end of three weeks. Chinese visitors will enjoy many activities, weekend trips, and time spent in local families’ homes in the evenings and weekends particularly for the Chinese participants in order for them to experience some American life and culture.
