Teaching At Hui-Lai

Hui-Lai is a new elementary school in Taichung city. The facilities are excellent. They have a small English Village in the school. An English Village is a great opportunity for the kids to practice their English in role-plays using props and mock situations. Hui-Lai was visited by some teachers from the UK last week who were doing research on technology in the classroom. They were very impressed with school.

This is my wonderful classroom.

This is the hallway outside of my classroom. Happy, smiling animals to greet me every morning.

This is another view of my classroom. You can see the various stations of the English Village.

My desk with the Smart Board, projector, and white board. The Smart Board is basically a large interactive screen. I can project the screen from the computer onto the Smart Board and interact with it just like I would on my computer. We have interactive textbooks that I can put on the Smart Board too. I like the Smart Board a lot, but I still use flashcards and the white board.
