English Day
On April 23rd we had the first English day of the new school year. English Day is a day for students to practice their English as much as possible. Students are encouraged to greet each other in English and to use as much English as possible during school time. Non-English teachers are also encouraged to use English in their greetings and instructions.
As well as this, the two native teachers take it in turns to talk at the morning service in the chapel. This time, I spoke about British culture and especially British music. April 23rd is Saint George’s Day in the UK so it is a day that many English people celebrate English culture.
During my presentation I introduce a number of artists and songs from the UK including hymns, classical pieces and pop songs. At the end of the presentation, I introduced a song that I have recently listened to, Supermarket Flowers by Ed Sheeran. This song is a little sad but when I heard it, the lyrics reminded me that we have many things to be grateful for in our lives.
I think that music has the power to help us during difficult times and to lift us up when we are down. I hope the students enjoyed learning about British music and I look forward to having another chance to introduce some more British culture in the future.
