As part of preparation to teach English in China, we determined that some formal classroom training might be helpful. Patricia located several optioned in different cities, but we selected a 6 day course at the University of Calgary, classes to occur 3 consecutive weekends.

Our instructor, was an interesting, former, overseas teacher, currently teaching at a Junior High in Calgary. His practical experiences were quite useful in understanding what we could expect. The class was made up of 25 students, 22 of whom did not yet have a specific job or location secured but all were interested in the possibility of teaching in a foreign land.
