Anili, have you always been an English teacher?
No, actually, I started out as a French teacher. That was my first job.
Wow! So tell me about your first job!
Um, my first job. I was working in Central West Queensland in Australia so
it was a remote place.
Sure
For example, the nearest supermarket was about 100 kilometers away from me.
That's amazing.
And, so of course the students lived, some of the students lived a long way away
from the schools, so they had their lessons by teleconference, actually, school
of the air.
Wow, so when you had a teleconference for example, how many students would be on
the air this time.
I guess around eight, in two different locations. And I would be in the third location
Wow, that's amazing!
Yeah!
Yeah! And how often would you be teaching like this?
Well, the students were aged between 9 and 12 years old.
They had two French lessons a week by teleconference.
Wow, and how long was each lesson?
45 minutes
Great. That's really interesting.
