49 ESL Conversation Games & Activities - Jackie Bolen 2020

About the author, Jackie Bolen

I taught English in South Korea for a decade to every level and type of student and I've taught everyone from kindergarten kids to adults. Most of my time was centered around teaching at two universities: five years at a science and engineering school out in the rice paddies of Chungcheongnam-Do, and also at a major university in Busan where I taught high level classes for students majoring in English.

These days I now live in Vancouver, Canada where I teach privately and at some English language academies. In my spare time, you can usually find me outside surfing, biking, hiking or on the hunt for the most delicious kimchi I can find. It's not so easy in Canada!

Conversation Classes: I Love You!

Although I've taught all kinds of classes related to English and these days find myself teaching a lot of academic writing, some of my favorite ones are of course those focused on conversation. I particularly like teaching conversation to beginners because it's very rewarding to see students make huge improvements and for their confidence to grow from class to class.

In case you were wondering what my academic qualifications are, I hold an MA in Psychology. During my time in Korea I've successfully completed both the Cambridge CELTA and DELTA certification programs. With the combination of almost fifteen years teaching ESL/EFL learners of all ages and levels, and the more formal teaching qualifications I've obtained, I have a solid foundation to offer teaching advice. I truly hope that you find this book useful and would love it if you sent me an email with any questions or feedback that you might have.
