What is your favourite part about teaching a language?
|
|
My favourite part is when students are given authentic opportunities to engage with the language. An example of this was earlier this year when students attended the CLTAWA High School excursion which was held in Northbridge. Students spent the day interacting with local businesses in Mandarin – ordering bubble tea, and food, as well as spend time reading the variety of signs on the street.
