Forums > Living in Kunming > How do you teach a class of teenagers?

My advice is you may need a CELTA to get the better jobs, work in the middle east (where the money is) or to obtain a visa in some places like Vietnam, Indonesia etc.
Think of the CELTA as an expensive, work intensive way of opening doors for yourself. Once you've got it take what you want from it and forget the rest. It's like driving a car - During the driving course you have to drive like an absolute spaz to conform to the standards laid out by the instructors. After you pass you can drive whatever way suits you best.

Teaching teenagers has to be easier and more fun that kids, surely? Give them some grammar, let them practice and have the aim being that by the end of the class they can add their existing vocab to the formation you've taught. Make sure you work towards the goal of letting them do something interesting with what you've taught them at the end of the class. You're not going to set the world alight playing videos every week or passing them on exams that may be beyond them.

It'll never happen. It would plunge both countries economies into the red. There's a war going gagging in North Korea and Syria and America isnt interested so It certainly would'nt be interested in one with the Chinese. Don't know what everyone is panicking for.

I saw a bullfight last Monday in Qiubei. Thought it was pretty entertaining and I'd recommend you watch a fight if you ever have the chance. Before the bullfight they had Horse fighting which was also very watchable. Never even considered the concept before.

So what your're saying is that the minority will spoil it for the majority so lets call the whole thing off.

I think its a good idea. You may be a bit paranoid about grades but the businesses will sort this out and it's of no ones benefit for the university to recommend dross. It wants this to be something to have the school stand out against all the northern schools.

If you haven't got the grades then the company will be able to see, judging by this article.

Supposedly this is the best students at the university so companies aren't going to be interested if it isn't and the university isn't going to look good if its putting those forward with bad grades if its saying 'they're our best'.

It sounds like students, the businesses and the university all gain from this. Hats off to the school for doing something different and good luck to the students (so long as they're not after my job)
