“I work in Spain and teach English to Spanish six and seven-year-olds. No, I don't just teach them English, I also teach them science, numeracy, history, the whole primary curriculum, in English. Vocabulary is my number one priority, so I've started writing plays with the children to develop their spoken English. I choose the topic carefully to encourage them to learn words and phrases that they will find useful.”
