English Corner

We had our second English corner here Saturday night, and 15 came this time--full living room! 

Students here focus a lot on written English and rote memorization in order to pass their examinations, so when they try to have a real conversation, they often become embarrassed and give up. They seem to be enjoying the opportunity to interact with us and practice speaking. 
This past week's topics were daily schedules and job interviews. These two students are doing a role play of an interview. 

Tomorrow will be our third English corner--topic is movies and music.  Should be fun!
