Out of all the British Language Assistants my school is the best. Everybody probably thinks that, but in my case it’s true. It’s a small primary school in the more rural, and quite Southern USA styled part of Quebec called Beauce.

I work with children from grades 3 to 6, and the nature of the job means it’s both fulfilling and fun. I’ve had classes where I introduced them to what I never knew was a British tradition of tea-staining to make a book of Dragons. I’ve made fortune tellers, to practice using future tenses with the older kids. Recently I tried to get them talking about and into music other than Rock and Country, but Drum and Bass and Classical Indian music just made them cover their ears and pretend to be sick. At that age, you’re mostly there to try and make them think English is interesting, and to give the kids an opportunity to speak what they know.

Little Quebecois kids are notoriously difficult to enthuse when it comes to English, but did I have fun trying. I’m not kidding they run about, throw pink fluffy dice at your head, comment on the terrible haircut you had to get because you didn’t know barber specific vocabulary (Clippers are called Clippeurs by the way), but when they get excited as you arrive at the class to take them out for a bit of English practice it all feels worth it.
