Some of our lecturers are in Cambodia running an English Communication course for Cambodian civil servants. The lecturers are making good use of internet technologies to add value to their experience. They have a blog NP at Cambodia! that talks about their daily adventures inside and outside the class.

Ching-Liang arrived in Phnom Penh first and described the situation for the other lecturer Eve, who arrived shortly after.

The second half of the morning was fun! As part of the handover process to Evelyn, I made full use of the conveniences of Skype. I skyped Eve and got the students to talk to her. The objective was twofold:

1. To get them to hear Eve’s voice so that they won’t feel strange meeting her for the first time on Monday and vice versa.
2. To get them to practice having an English conversation on the telephone. This is a good practical lesson from yesterday’s lesson on Telephone English.
