Dear friends,
My school, Hua Shan Elementary School, recently went to English Village at a nearby elementary school. In the above picture, I am acting as the waitress and teaching my students how to order food in English. Normally, there is a foreign teacher who works at the English Village. It was not supposed to be my turn that day to work at English Village, but my friend had an emergency so I had to cover for her. My students were pleasantly surprised when they saw that I was the foreign teacher working at English Village that day. Although I thought they would be disappointed that they didn't get to meet another foreigner, my students were actually excited!

At Tai-Ping Elementary School's English Village, my students went to 8 stations, 4 in the restaurant/hotel and 4 in the supermarket. At one of the restaurant/hotel stations, my students had to put together a puzzle that me and my fellow Fulbrighters made (see above picture). At another station, the students had to unscramble some words (see picture to left) and at yet another station, they had to make a paper airplane (because the simulated environment was an airport). I previously spoke about English Village in these blog posts. To understand more about English Village, click here.
