Community Services
Teacher Training in a poverty-stricken county in China In 2008 and 2009, i-Learner joined hands with the charity, The Institute for Integrated Rural Development, Hong Kong, to organise an English immersion camp for teachers in a poverty stricken county in Western Hunan, China. This camp lasted for three and a half days. In 2008, the focus was on primary school teachers; and in 2009, the camp targeted secondary school teachers. The first year trained 42 primary school teachers while there were 38 participants from 16 secondary and vocational schools in the 2009 camp. The aims of the camps were to improve the teachers' English ability and enhance their teaching. The trainees of the camp were requested to share what they have learned with fellow teachers in their schools. Together every year they teach English to tens of thousands of students in the region.
