The Cuihu English corner is opposite the Cuihu hotel, on Thursday nights from about 7pm.
Well in my school we are planning to implement English corners, but the problem exists that there are insufficient students at a high enough level to warrant starting one now.
The aim of the English corner should be to allow opportunities for the students to practice the language they have already learned and also to possibly learn something new.
When we implement the English corner the students will be given topics based on their learning history in the school, so they have the opportunity to revise and practice.
Having said this, conversation should flow,so if the conversation moves moves off topic, then the facilitator should allow this and then guide the conversation to get as many of the participants involved.
I think that this is something that will never happen at the public English corners like the one at Green Lake. There is no facilitator, too many Chinese who are too shy to speak, and then there are those Chinese who can speak, but then try to dominate the conversation and the foreigners time.
I have been to the Green lake English corner a few times, and ended up getting bored quickly, because every time I would be asked the same questions, and felt like some Chinese were too dominating of the conversation to allow others the opportunity to speak. So I stopped going, bored with the whole situation.
@yanke00, I would have to agree with tigertiger about the English corners. I had to do them 2-3 times a week when I worked for EF, as part of the job.
Inevitably you have a group of Chinese staring at the foreigner, while only 3-4 Chinese spoke to me. As students came and went in the school, I always ended up getting asked the same questions again and again. It gets tiresome and boing.
Occasionally I would end up having a real conversation when a higher level student would come in, which got interesting as we could talk about life in general and exchange culture.They were also able to help the lower level students to understand and participate in the conversation.
I don't think he is inferring that the the life of Chinese people is boring. i think it is only being asked the same questions every time that is boring.
A good English corner should be level specific, and then students grouped at those levels should be given topics to talk about appropriate to their level.
I also avidly believe the students from a high elementary level onwards should attend English corners. Beginners and low Elementaries just do not understand enough of the language, and they get bored and frustrated at the English corners because they simply just do not understand enough.

A quick guide to Kunming's Metro Line 2
Posted byUseful article, I see you made mention of the bus and metro cards not being interchangeable. It would be great once more info on this is available that the article be updated. I was actually going to ask if the current bus cards could be used with the metro, as there is a picture of the metro on the card.
As a side note, the pictures are great, but on Firefox they cut into the text on the right, obscuring it. i.e. the classifieds and the comments section on the right of the page. Just thought I would mention this.
