Hello, my name is Billy, and I'm a teacher at EF Banda.

Recently, my B2-3 class worked to create an online game called "Looking for Love in Bandung". It's a simple game, and it's a work in progress, so please understand if it's not perfect.

In addition, my C1-2 class also created a game, entitled "Seeking Romance in Bandung Flower City".

In the absence of a Spelling Bee Competition this year, EF Bandung held a YLE (Young Learners English) competition. The competition consisted of three rounds. In the first two rounds participants were given two minutes to identify up to 15 objects from a picture and correctly spell them. The top 5 participants were then picked for the final, which was held on the main stage. In the final round, the finalists were given up to three clues in order to identify a secret word.

To qualify for this competition, all participants took one of the Cambridge YLE tests (Starters, Movers or Flyers).

What are the benefits of taking Cambridge YLE test?
The tests help to prepare children for higher level tests, increase their confidence and because the tests are internationally recognised, the qualifications can add value when applying for competitive private/international schools.Winner YLE Competition 2011

Congratulations to all of the winners and thank you to everyone who participated. We hope to see you all again soon.

Recently the C1-2 Real English class at Banda created their own blogs, and then they wrote some fictionalized news stories based on headlines provided by the teacher. The results were creative and often funny! Read and enjoy, and please post comments at their blogs, but remember that none of this information is true - it's just for laughs.
