After a beautiful sleep I awoke to mist lifting over the grass and forest view. Peaceful area with just a few birds chirping.
After breakfast the volunteer English teachers were allocated a student for 50 mins to help explain a few set phrases or words to our student and then help them use it in context, sentences etc. Eg. "Put up with", "drop in", "brownie points". Today was such a gorgeous day that a number of us decided to do a walk and talk one on one through the forest.
I had 5 X one on ones with different students today and managed to walk 17kms and over 26,000 steps 😂. Such a great learning environment and felt like we were just out walking with friends. This relaxed them greatly.
Today also included a small skit for 5 people - (there will be one daily) they had a script to follow but needed to rehearse.
Then some presentations.. each of us has to do a 5-10 min presentation on any topic and people can ask questions.
After dinner we finished with a game of Taboo. Students versus volunteer teachers. Lots of laughter. Finished the day at 10.30pm.
The immersion learning concept is effective and I can see the students improving their English conversation already.
So many fascinating people in one place. Loving it 😊
