Our day started with a level 3 ESL session at the Learning Exchange. Joanna and I were co-facilitating and teaching the lesson planned. Because this is a level 3 class, the difficulty of the materials prepared for level 3 class is certainly different than level 2, which I taught yesterday. Today’s session was reading an article provided in the handout and discussing the article accordingly. The article that we analyzed was on the World Wide Web! The article was quite technical and slightly difficult because there were a lot of technical words that learners were unsure of. Thankfully, with our tech background and that I had taken computer science courses in university, I was able to transfer the information learned in class to help learners understand how the web/internet works!

Overall, the session went really well! We were able to decode certain words that were difficult or unsure of. The learners were really engaged and enthusiastic about learning about technology and the use of technology; learners were learning while we were communicating in English and practice speaking, reading, and writing English individually and collectively.

After our session, I was assisting other staff members on preparing and gathering materials from the conference. Examples include searching Twitter tweets from various members and organizations about the conference (for feedback purposes); I was also working on collecting and organizing all sorts of materials prepared from the conference. We will continue to finish our task tomorrow!
