Cheshire teaching duo gear up for Chinese adventure

February 17 2011

A pair of Cheshire teachers is gearing up to embark on a great Chinese adventure this spring.

Geared towards boosting links between professionals in teaching jobs in
England and their counterparts in China, Liz McAteer and Nicola Brogan have signed up for a special initiative which will see them giving English lessons in the city of Xian.

The IT teachers will be heading off in March and are already well-prepared, having taken an intensive Mandarin course over the past few weeks, while they are also able to benefit from the knowledge of Great Sankey High School head Alan Yates, who visited Xian 18 months ago in order to set up the exchange programme.

Speaking to the website This is Cheshire, Liz, 32, said: "We're both really excited about the trip and we're looking forward to picking things up from them and in turn them taking things from us."

Just last week, the Lancashire Evening Post reported that students at the Cardinal Newman College in Preston have been benefitting from language lessons organised by a local international businessman.
