As a part-time native English teacher I taught English

as a second language to students aged 6-12 in a regular Taiwanese Cram school setup. I taught listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. I used games and activities in the classroom to make learning fun. Apart from teaching from the textbooks provided I also encouraged free talking about relevant topics in my classes to create a natural English environment in which language acquisition happens more effectively.
