ESL Teacher
Jingdezhen Comprehensive College
September, 2012-July, 2013 (11 months)
My job was to give oral English classes and to develop speaking skills of students.
I had classes with 24 to 55 students. Each class was 2*40 min with a 10 min break, 2 times a week.
Through the studying year we covered the following topics:
?introduction
?sport in my life
?cooking
?expressing your feelings and emotions
?University facilities
?moving up the career ladder (the steps to success (CV), letters of application)
?advertisement and news announcement
?polite requests and communication (in a restaurant/ cafe, making a reservation in a hotel)
?my holidays (cultural differences, calendar differences)
?pollution/preserving wildlife
Due to the fact that I had been given unlimited freedom for carrying out the teaching plans, I had a priceless chance to practice my methodological skills. I chose topics and designed lessons for 1 studying year. My students practiced pronunciation, intonation and public speaking, acted out in pairs and gave numerous speeches, did round tables and played case-solving games, were in charge of group workouts and did cooking together etc... That way I hope they got the positive experience of the actual language use in everyday situations.
