Continuing on with my teacher training videos, I bring to you the Whole Brain Teaching method. This method is super effective for more older/advanced ESL students in my opinion. Please keep in mind teaching native students with this technique is a lot easier than with ESL students. I tried incorporating these methods into my primary school lessons and had mixed results. I found primary grades 1 – 3 struggled with the concept of rules, simply because they couldn't understand them.

This post is another set of training videos but this time produced by Genki English. These videos explain and show how to use Genki English products (Obviously promotional videos). Nevertheless, without Genki English materials you can still get a good idea of how to create successful and lively lessons. These videos are also jam packed with lots of teaching tips and ideas. I just love this guys energy. I try to mimic his style of teaching with my kindergarten and primary school classes. This style really works.

Today I hit the jackpot of instructional teaching videos for young audiences. They are developed by Cambridge University. If only I found these informative videos at the beginning of my teaching year, I would have been more clued up on teaching more effectively, rather than having to progressively learn by trial and error. So all you teachers reading my blog, I unveil to you some nice how to teach videos.
I have listed the videos in order. If you live in China you will need a VPN to access YouTube.

Continuing on with my Love, Hate relationship of China, I will discuss the topic of Chinese banks (ZhongGuo YingHang). Starting with the negatives. The number one thing I totally dislike about Chinese banks are their Cash machines (Zi Dong Qu Quan Ji). Why, you may wonder…?

Today I feel inspired to blog, this is the first time since arriving on the 17th January 2011 in China (Over 8 months ago) that I have felt compelled/moved to do so about life here. So how did this revelation come about? Well, normally when I meet a Chinese person, there are sets of question I am normally asked, kind of formalities. One such frequently asked question is, do you like China?
