The Education Bureau of Zhuhai City, People’s Republic of China, has contracted with the UBIEP (United Brethren International Education Program) and Huntington University to provide teacher training in TESOL methods for 80 English teachers in Zhuhai City Schools from July 16 through August 3, 2007. The three-week teacher training event will be led by Luke Fetters, Valerie Geer, Susie Burson, Darlene Shideler, and Erinn Caley. A two-week English camp for 80 primary and middle school students will run concurrently with the teacher training event. English activities for the camp will be led by a volunteer group from Huntington consisting of Jeff Sherlock, Jenaya Bonner, Phil Burkett, Charles Chapman, Bridger Fetters, Kim Hart, and Gil Shideler. The UBIEP and Huntington University have partnered with Zhuhai City Schools in teacher education since 1992, but this is the most extensive project to date.
