Shanghai
The Learning English Video Project film crew – back on the road!!
For those of you who do not know, my name is Daniel Emmerson and I am the producer of The Learning English Video Project, a seven-part documentary series sponsored by Englishclub.com. On Wednesday 19th August, I will be flying to China from England in order start work on a future film for the series. My dedicated cameraman Joel Carr will also be joining me on the trip when we will be spending two weeks in the dazzling Chinese city of Shanghai. As with the previous films that have been released on EnglishClub.com, the Shanghai production will have a running theme based on identifying different methods and reasons for learning English as a foreign language across the globe.
I am pleased to announce that we will be working with Spring Airlines, a budget airline company based in Shanghai who are expanding from domestic to international travel to and from China. Spring Airlines is one of the first privately owned airlines in China and operates on providing a low cost travel service. Senior Executives and staff at Spring Airlines have acknowledged they need English as their second language following the opening of China to a global scene. Joel and I will be speaking to people in Shanghai in order to document some of the methods that are being used to teach English within the company and find out how the need for English is changing in China.
For the last six weeks I have been managing an English Language course at Millfield Summer School in England. It has been an excellent experience that has given me some fresh ideas about The Learning English Video Project and I can not wait to get started next week. Keep checking EnglishClub.com for more blog updates and reports on our adventures in China – as always we plan to have a video blog and plenty of pictures online soon.
All the best!

Thanks for the update. Have a safe trip Daniel and Joel! How exciting that you’ll be interviewing the airline staff.

Hi Tina,
Thank you for your message. I know of Hangzhou and heard that it is a beautiful place. Unfortunately we have a very busy schedule and will not be able to make it to your home town this time. Will you be in Shanghai at all? We are also going to Xiamen on Friday.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
