Summer AESL Class

Here are some students doing a presentation where they simulated a job interview. One guy even wore a suit to make the presentation more 'believable'. I thought that was great!

Here I am with two of my Hong Kong students.

For the fall, I won't be teaching any of my usual adult (immigrant) ESL classes. I'll just be doing the academic (international student) ESL. I want to gain more experience in that area as we will be heading to Seattle in a few months. The more diverse experiences I have, the better chances I have of getting a good job down there.

I've been teaching the higher level ESL students for the past few years, though I do have experience with lower levels also. This fall I will teach a level 2 writing/reading class. It'll be quite a change from my norm where I have taught classes focused mostly on speaking and listening for the advanced students. I'm looking forward to a change and for some new professional development.
