Wade Million

I am an American from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I received my Bachelor's degree in Communications Media from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. When I graduated college, I worked in business marketing for 3 years where I was in charge of coordinating and producing various marketing plans and strategies through multiple media channels. In the spring of 2011 I decided to quit my job and pursue my desire to travel. I completed my CELTA in Chiang Mai, Thailand and came to China to teach as an English Language Instructor.

In my free time I enjoy outdoor activities like cycling, swimming and hiking. I'm an avid reader and also enjoy playing video games on the computer.

I have been teaching at Omeida since July 2011. I have had the pleasure of teaching many different students with a variety of both age and skill levels. I currently teach levels 1D and 2A (pre-intermediate), but have taught levels 2B and 5 in the past. My topics in class are focused on honing students' conversational skills and cover everything from practical every day language to current events to American and Chinese culture.

I believe the classroom should be student centered. I enjoy giving my students the opportunity to express themselves about the topics covered in class through discussion and debate, as well as getting them to think critically about the information presented. Building vocabulary and conversation skills are the primary focus, as is providing a cultural exchange where they have the opportunity to learn about my background and experiences.

English Study:

The best way to learn English is through continual practice and usage. Even though it can be difficult at times, I always encourage my students to speak English outside of the classroom as often as possible. One of the best recommendations I can provide is to seek out others who speak English fluently. Don't be afraid to go to places where English speakers hang out and start up a conversation! 

Wade, 來(lái)自(zì)美(měi)國，擁有印第安納大(dà)學學士學位證書和(hé)劍橋大(dà)學CELTA（成人英語語言教學）證書。Wade有着多年的市場營銷工(gōng)作(zuò)經驗，曾被受聘公司評爲最佳市場主管。然而，Wade本人對(duì)教學卻更有激情，他(tā)希望将教育作(zuò)爲他(tā)以後的職業生涯。他(tā)曾在印第安納大(dà)學任助教兼教學辦公室主任，主要負責課程研發和(hé)設計(jì)，後來(lái)他(tā)又在泰國進行英語教學。憑着對(duì)中國文(wén)化的熱愛和(hé)對(duì)陽朔風(fēng)景的向往，Wade最終選擇了(le)加入歐美(měi)達。他(tā)教學認真負責，爲人平易近人。他(tā)希望和(hé)每一位渴求學習的中國英語學習者成爲朋友。 

在Wade 看(kàn)來(lái)，最好(hǎo)的英語學習方法就是不斷的練習和(hé)運用(yòng)，盡可能(néng)地多說，或者是找一個英語夥伴，多多練習，更要敢于跟外(wài)國人聊天。相信自(zì)己。
