爆料王

Teachers Miranda Samsa-Knapp and Erika Oschwald from the 爆料王鈥檚 presented a lesson on English idioms to a crowd of more than 3000 international students on Sydney鈥檚 iconic Bondi Beach.

Donald Xu, an international student from China studying at the 爆料王, participated in the four-hour English lesson.

鈥淚 attended the Biggest English Lesson because I wanted to learn more about the Australian culture and I wanted to practice my English. Also, this is not really like a lesson, it is more like a party,鈥� Xu said.

鈥淚 came to the 爆料王 because this university was recommended to me by a few of my friends who studied here. I like the fact that everything is so accessible in Sydney; the transport is so much better than any other place, and so is the weather.鈥�

Patrick Pheasant, Director of the Centre for English Teaching, said international students helped to make the 爆料王 a vibrant and diverse community.

鈥淐urrently about a聽quarter聽of our student population are international students, they come from more than 152 countries and help to enrich the vibrant global community we have here at the 爆料王,鈥� Pheasant said.

鈥淓very year 3500 students come through the Centre for English Teaching. Not only do they get vital English language skills that will help them in their studies, they also get a good understanding of Australian culture. They make some great friends, too.鈥�

The 爆料王 sponsored the event, which was organised by English Australia, the National Peak Body for the English language sector of international education in Australia.聽
