Misconception 4: Beginners must begin producing (i.e., speaking/writing) language right away.

The “silent period” is an important part of the language acquisition process and language is being acquired during this time.

Mavericks Please

Hello all,

This is a friendly reminder that Nanjing International School currently supports the Mavericks OS for Mac until the end of the 2014-15 school year.

If you have upgraded to Yosemite and need to change it back to the previous operating system, please bring your computer to Ms. Jessie in the Macquarium or you can email help@nanjing-school.com

Cheers,

Mr. Johnson

Cards for Jakarta – reminder

A couple of cards of good wishes for Neil & Ferdi (Jakarta Intercultural School teachers) will be in the staffroom until Tuesday 10th for anyone to sign (or email me – Lindy – and I will add your name/message.) Here is their background story…. Many thanks!

World Universities Fair

The Fair is in Shanghai and starts at 5.30pm for students, and concludes at 8.30pm. I will be there earlier for Counsellor sessions, and will stay to guide you through your visit. You will need to miss at least Block 5 and lunch to make it on time, but I would suggest leaving school from Block 4…

Here’s the poster that’s been up for a week!  If you are going to University, than I think this is a MUST, as there will not be another Fair accessible to you this large and diverse! Please be clear – you must inform myself and Dr Saavedra that you will be going and you MUST complete an OLF. I will be there on the day and can meet you and guide your Fair experience, but I cannot assist with any travel arrangements. Please chat to others who are going – some are going with parents – and plan to travel together.
