For the first time, Jungle Lion held its annual showcase in an art museum. Besides giving professional presentations, the children performed an all-English play. The most meaningful part of the year was the spirit of sustainability: every costume was designed and remade by the children themselves from second-hand clothing.

This year’s showcase went beyond a simple display of language, with Dr. Vincent Rollet and Dr. Mark Lai of Wenzao Ursuline University of Languages as commentators. Topics ranged from “Magic Tree House literature” to “social issues.” The slides, stage props and event hosting were all done by the children themselves, whose average age was 11.

This year’s showcase raised the standard to an international level. We invited Robert Iyer, a world-class English speaking coach and NLP trainer, to give feedback and guide children in using the charm of language to connect with an audience. Children’s favorite Tr. Anson Sat also joined parents on site as a world-class speaking coach, to talk together about how to guide children to see learning pressure in a positive way.
