seneca (expat in China)
No matter how good a foreign teacher is, the conditions are set by Chinese professionals whose objectives are incompatible with those of the international community. Chinese educators only care about how much a pupil can regurgitate off his or her memory during an exam; they don't know what really matters, i.e. that a pupil can communicate in the target language. To communicate effectively, you have to stop thinking in one language and translate into another. Most of them are not capable of communicating in English. Hence raising the bar for a choice few foreign teachers is not going to improve anything.

In our daily life, more and more loanwords appear and change our habits in Chinese expression. Loanwords sound very similar with their original English words, and the process of learning them is full of fun to foreign students.
It has been a while since I've contributed to this Forum and I figured that since now I am officially on summer holiday and another school year is behind me I would share a post with you.
