Day 50 - A picture of your most frequented place

The school where I work
I guess my most frequented place would have to be my workplace, wouldn't it? I’m there for nine hours every day, five days a week.

I teach English as a second language at a public elementary school in Taipei, Taiwan. I’m one of those freaks who enjoy going to work, because I think my co-workers are awesome, and my students, well most of them, are adorable.

My job is a little different than most teachers’. I don’t have a traditional classroom, but instead teach in real life scenario classrooms. We have a restaurant, hotel room, airplane cabin, supermarket, clinic and even a movie theater.

Students in Taiwan don’t get that many opportunities to speak English, so here we provide them with an environment where they can practice the English that they are already familiar with. As you can imagine, it’s a lot of fun teaching in this setting and sometimes it doesn’t even feel like work.

So that's my most frequented place. What's yours?

  2. Wow, that looks like a lot of fun! And it's a good idea to simulate experiences in the supermarket and other places.

  3. Whoa, that's awesome! I occasionally teach English classes in Spain and I've never seen a classroom like that. That totally looks way more fun than a traditional classroom.

  5. This is amazing! How did you get into TESL? That's what I plan to do when I finish my Masters. I want to teach in the US at a University, though, I think.
