The TESOL Fair is an opportunity for our practicum students to give thanks to the staff and students at Robson for providing them with the opportunity to do their practicum at their campus. It is also a chance for them to gain experience in planning, organizing and facilitating a school-wide event, something that they will have to do at some or many points in their careers as teachers. Furthermore, the fair is another chance for the students to get out into the community and practice their English skills.
 
The Appreciation Fair consists of, at least:

 

A general information booth containing information about their TESOL program.  

A food and drinks booth. 

A games booth.

A material design display booth.

 
As a whole, the practicum students have enjoyed putting on this event:
 
Hye Jin: "Although I didn't see the purpose of it at first, after doing it I understood how helpful it was for me"
 
Chieko: "It was a lot of fun, especially the games booth, and the Robson students really had fun - even some teachers came and enjoyed it as well"
 
The TESOL Appreciation Fair is a new and exciting addition to the TESOL Practicum. We hope to see you out at the next fair!
