I have experience working with a wide age range, from children of 4 years old, up to adults, and also with a range of language levels from A1-C1.
During my time in Romania teaching English at a summer camp in Sibiu, I worked primarily with children between 4 and 14, and I used a range of activities to improve their language levels. These activities included match up games, team games such as designing a class flag, creating a class dance routine for the whole camp talent show, and sports events to encourage movement and learning. In the afternoon I was also responsible for leading excursions around the camp, such as hikes and ski-life rides, to supervising the swimming pool and archery course.
In Spain I worked for two weeks at a government run language centre in Bilbao where I taught English to adults. My main focus was conversational English, and I used a variety of ways to build learners confidence in English, such as introductory lessons whereby they introduced themselves to the group by describing where the lived, what they did for a job, and their favourite thing about the city in which they lived. This position gave me a great opportunity to share my regions culture with the students, many of whom had only visited London, and open their eyes to the cultural differences of different UK regions, and that is something that I really enjoyed.
I am a very outgoing person, I am not afraid to take on any task that is needed of me, and I am confident that teaching in Korea with be a fantastic next step to build my career as a ESL teacher.
