The show of 17 September YouTube.
Hi, I'm Sarah. Welcome to the Daily English Show.
The host of today's show is Susan. It is one of English teachers here at Acadia. She has been teaching about 12 years ago and it has been a year at Acadia. I asked her why she decided to teach English.
I gave Korean students private lessons when I lived in Canada, then ... 1996th And at that time I really wanted to visit Korea. So was my first decision to go to Korea. So I went to Korea for a year and really enjoyed it. And then I went to Japan and taught. And in between I also gave private lessons. So, teaches in Canada and Korea and Japan and now back in Canada.

prevailed just before the landing of strong wind and heavy rain and the plane crashed and burst into flames.

A 22-year-old from British Columbia was one of the lucky ones who managed to escape.
She said the guy behind you would have kicked in a window or door. He had long entered until it finally opened.
"If it had not opened," she said, "we would have died. It was dark and smoky. I felt like I was about to faint."
And that was Stick News on Monday the 17th September. Kia Ora

conversations with sarah
# 309 Why did the opted for the Acadia?
Step 1: Repeat Sarah text.
Step 2: Read Sarah's text and talk to Susan .
Sarah as distinguished teaching in Japan, Korea and Canada?
Susan Actually teaching in Korea and Japan, much the same, because I always have the same kind of class taught. Because, I taught elementary school classes and business people - I went to companies and taught in business, and then I had a normal adult courses.
But the teaching in Canada is very, very different. Because the way of teaching here, I think the lesson very a 12th Class is similar.
So there is a different kind of teaching. It is not so much ESL, it is more like EUP or EAP instruction, ie English for academic purposes. It differs so pretty, and teaching here in Canada, from my experience overseas.
Sarah Why did you chose the Acadia?
Susan Because I had visited the Acadia here and completed my studies at Acadia '93 and I love this school, and also it is near my hometown. And I wanted to work here forever.
Sarah Where do most students?
Susan Here at the Acadia? Well, most of it from China. Order, mainly from China and even some from Japan and Korea. Also, many from Saudi Arabia or the Arab countries in general, but mainly from China.
Sarah Are the students from different countries?
Susan No. Really, they are very ählnich. And I think they are probably even surprised. Because you can, for example, a group of students work and forgets that they are from four or five different countries. They all work together, have a very similar attitude. So, basically, by and large Whole they are very similar.
Sarah Why did you love to study at Acadia?
Susan Because I grew up in a small town, so the study at the Acadia ... here to study in Wolfville is like in a small town to live. And I really like the atmosphere, love the small town atmosphere. It is near my home. And the university itself is very near and comes closer to his professors. I studied really two years at the Del Housie in Halifax. And that's a very, very large university and they felt very impersonal. But I decided to come here and finish off the last two years. And it was very personal and a much more intimate experience. I liked it very much more.
Sarah What makes you most enjoy in teaching?
Susan I am happy if the students understand something. If they see something they Habne not understood and if they ask and I tell them and they understand it and then finally you can see it in their faces. This is what I enjoy it.
