Young American couple John and Belinda make handiworks with pupils in a small village in Tang County, northern China's Hebei province.
Teaming up with their volunteer partners, a young American couple John and Belinda have devoted over two years in their voluntary teachings to Chinese rural students at a small village in Tang County, northern China's Hebei province.
According to a head-teacher surnamed Hou at Gaochang Town of Tang County, the volunteer American couple kept teaching rural school pupils English classes very two weeks for over two years. Mr. Hou said at the beginning of the couple's classes, pupils were too shy to talk to them, but now they are quite talkative and even become good friends with their foreign teachers.
Thanks to vivid and interesting teachings at the bi-weekly "English Corner" classes offered by the American couple, the local teacher said their students have greatly improved their English language abilities in listening and speaking.
The principal of Zhuangtou School, Cui Rongyao introduced that apart from teaching English, John and his team workers also set up other courses like handiwork and outdoor games. They even established a library for their students. |
