Talk Group (Shanghai) – Created and led activities that thrilled 12,000+ ESL and software learners all over China

Problem	My approach and results
- Create a new style of English-learning. - ESL in China is a very saturated market. - Tailor classes to the local people. - Find venues/topics interesting to locals. - Find class times in their busy schedules.	I designed a database for the various content I was creating: - The 3 Talk da Talk textbooks I authored - The 1,000+ Phrase-of-the-Day text messages I wrote - Daily Mini-Adventures (2-hr class) - Weekend Adventures (5-hr activity) - Daily Phrase-of-the-day SMS texts - The Excel curriculum I wrote and taught I managed 5 artists, 3 translators, 20 teachers, and 5 developers I taught classes to improve class materials.
Traditional style of learning: - Takes place in the same classroom. - 1 Teacher per 30 - 50 learners. - Teacher talks 90% of each 1-hour class. - Teacher talks from the front of the room. - Teacher writes on a board and mostly talks.	Experiential style of learning: - Takes place at various venues related to the lesson topic. - 3 Facilitators per 21 - 30 learners. - Learners pair with other learners to talk 90% of each 2-hour class. - Facilitators walk around to answer questions and explain concepts. - Facilitators start activities and mostly listen.

	RESULTS: - 12,000+ learners thrilled with their improved English. - An English school bought our English club in 2006.
