Shanghai English teachers living on West Shore for immersion experience
Since August 10, a class of 20 English public, primary and secondary, school teachers from the Jiading district of Shanghai in China have been living and learning on the campus of Royal Roads University as part of an international teachers training and cultural immersion program. This is the first of its kind being hosted at Royal Roads, but is part of a long-term goal of establishing relationships with Asian institutional partners. They will be here until mid-September. Many are fluent in English. Members of the media are encouraged to contact Phil Saunders to arrange to hear their stories of their time in Victoria and the West Shore.
