GRES openhouse 176

 

During this year’s Open House, our ESL teachers focussed on giving parents a unique opportunity to experience English class alongside their children by participating in hands-on activities like centres and games.

 

 
What's it like teaching English in Shanghai? Take a peek inside our ESL classrooms as ESL teachers at Shanghai Taiwanese Children's School share about what their day typically looks like, what they're working on with their students, and how they've grown from their experience.

 One of our Canadian high school teachers shares about her firsthand observations and experience living and teaching in Taiwan during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Originally posted to Facebook on 4/3, re-shared with permission.

 

Living in Taiwan during COVID-19 is…honestly, pretty normal.

 

These creative ESL students were challenged to showcase their collaboration, critical thinking, and story making skills by creating impromptu skits. In small groups, they worked together to plan their skits using their own creative writing books, including the characters, setting, and problem, as well as making props to help act out their stories - all in one day!
