Internet Treasure Hunt - Chinese New Year

Hi everyone,

Today Sharon came to the Internet cafe and we did a short internet treasure hunt about Chinese New Year. Sharon says "it's fun using the internet to learn" and she is keeping the internet treasure hunt link for her BA TESL project on curriculum development. Sharon says that not all the younger generation are that serious about the Chinese New Year customs in Hong Kong (like not sweeping the floor on New Year's day and so on), but a lot of the older generation still are. The internet cafe is closing over the Chinese New Year break so until then, Gung hei fat choy!

First thoughts

This is the first of hopefully many posts to this blog and my aim is just to say a bit about what this club is all about. The idea of the ELC Internet Cafe is for students to get to know each other in a relaxed and informal atmosphere - while kicking back with a cup of coffee and a biscuit, and surfing the web or playing internet language games. I'm hoping we can have lots of fun, socialising and slip in a bit of learning as well. We'll make sure we do everything in English of course, so that'll help. The idea of this blog is to record the groups thoughts and reflections, and to document the whole process. I'm also going to put related materials up on the Info and pics page. The group meets for the first time next week, so with any luck there'll be some more postings soon...
