Teaching Experience in Secondary Schools

During our 10 days in China, we have thought in 4 secondary schools and high schools. The purpose of our teaching is to make English language interesting to students and also introduce the teacher different way of teaching. Our team has been divided into two teams which half of it will be teaching secondary and high schools and the other team will be teaching primary school. The 4 secondary and high schools we went are:

1. Nei Jiang City No. 8 Secondary School (内江市第八初中)
2. Nei Jiang City No. 9 High School (内江市第九中学)
3. Nei Jiang City No. 10 High School (内江市第十中学)
4. Nei Jiang City Xiang Long High School (内江市翔龙中学)

For the first day, everyone was nervous as we will start our first lesson and the classes assign to us have a huge number of students. Before the class start, we attended the English teacher lesson and after the class it will be our turn to give lesson. The lesson started well and the students interested in our teaching and very fascinated by our present. They never have the chance for outsider from other country to give them lesson. As one of our team members is a Singaporean Indian, the students are most excited and wanted to know more about him. They have surrounded him, hold his hand, grabbing him, taking photos with him and even hug him.

The teaching have went well and as the day goes by we are gaining more experience and also improve on our public speaking skills. Some of our team members are also inspired to become a teacher although we are all from engineering course. We have introduced the teacher technique on using games, music and hand on activities for the lessons. This will make the lesson more interesting and fun too. They students can also learn faster and able to absorb more. After every teaching, we will have discussion with the English teacher on ways to improve the teaching and also feedback on our teaching. Besides that, we also exchange our experience on what we have experience during our younger days as students in primary and secondary school.


During the teaching, we not only teach English but we also promote Singapore and also our alma mater NTU. We have gained some poster from the Singapore Tourism Board. It have give the students there inspiration and also dream to further their studies in Singapore as it provide good education and have many interesting sight.

Overall the teaching have achieve our objective for our trip and it have benefited us and also the students there.
