4. Problems We Had To Overcome

One problem encountered by students is English. While children start learn English from primary school, but they only talk in English in English class. This time, children use English to present, it is really difficult. To solve this problem, in translation, I make use simple English words, and words they learned before. When children see unlearned English words, they mark the pronunciation, and practice.

5. Our Project Sound Bite

Students learned more about the traditional culture.

6. How did your activities and research for this CyberFair Project support standards, required coursework and curriculum standards?

Through this activity, I found that students learn English just for exams, textbooks' content are not very practical. The event gave my students a lot of opportunities to practice English speaking.

For this event, my students looked for many information. The most helpful tool they used are computer and libarary.

2) In what ways did you act as "ambassadors" and spokespersons for your CyberFair project both on-line and in person.

In order to capture Beijing preserved courtyard, my students communicated with residents of courtyard, successfully captured some of the courtyard’s image.

The event, to my students is a good practice. They bravely communicated with strangers, actively looking for information, and practiced their English.

Here, I would like to thank the residents of the courtyard, gave permission for us to shoot.
