About Me

I'm Danny,
I'm going to China for many months on the February Teaching Internship.
 I have been away backpacking for a year before. Stumbling my way through Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and America. In this time i battled with crocodiles, scuba dived with sharks, ate cobras for breakfast and found work as a cowboy. Visiting many fine and not so fine drinking establishments, Hospital A&E's and staying in many strange hostels/ huts / gutters along the way.
The masterplan is that now i have passed my 120hr TEFL and hoping that all goes well on the Internship. I will be able to use my extraordinary TEFL skills to continue travelling in the future, whilst staying reasonably debt free.

My 1st week of teaching by The Lone Wolf of Fenghua

So i've had my first week of teaching and all my lessons have gone really well! In fact i bloody well rocked it! So that was a big relief, fortunately my first 2 weeks worth of lessons is talking about 'me' though which is a subject i know quite well, I may struggle more when the English begins!! I teach 2 year groups age 14-16 over 2 weeks, 12 classes per year group. each class...

Hey there,


My name is Emma and I work on the i-to-i team as an Online tutor.  The China Internship team are constantly trying to improve the intern experience and have asked me to create some new materials to aid new teachers in their first few weeks. So I thought who better to ask than the interns themselves!!!  So, in terms of teaching, my questions to you are:


What would you have liked more help on and what have you struggled the most with in your lessons? 
How do you find teaching Chinese students?
What activities do you find work well with your students?


Any feedback, good or bad would be much appreciated.  If you didn't feel comfortable and felt stressed here is your chance to let us know and you will be helping future interns.


Please follow this link to leave your much appreciated feedback:  http://www.tefl-chalkboard.com/groups/3-Teach-in-China-Internship/discussion/249-calling-all-china-interns


Thanks,


 


Emma
