Philosophers' Cafe:

Life the Universe, and Everything

Tuesdays

For those who have mastered communication in English, the next step is to flex the mind in new and different directions, and to practice articulating these new thoughts in a friendly but challenging environment. The Philosophers’ Cafe will start with a story drawn from the world’s folk traditions, continue with a guided discussion of the ideas in that story, and—it is hoped—develop into an animated free-for-all exchange between the participants. For high-intermediate and advanced speakers.

TIME: All meetings begin at 7 p.m. After more than one hour of organized activities, we will open up for Question and Answer and Free Conversation, finishing at 9 p.m.

DISCUSSION LEADER: James will be leading all of these lessons and discussions. He holds a dual Bachelor degree in English and philosophy, as well as a Master of Education degree, and is nearing completion of a PhD. He has been a teacher and trainer since 1981. In that time he has taught in three countries, and his students have included everyone from Kindergarten kids to presidents of multinational corporations. He is currently a professor of English at Shenzhen Polytechnic, and has led hundreds of workshops, salons, classes, and private lessons in Shenzhen since February of 2004.

哲学小吧:

生活、宇宙万物和其他任何事物

星期二

对于已经掌握了英语沟通技巧的人,下一步就是要在友好但富有挑战性的环境下,拓展自己的思维,往新的不同的方向发展,然后把这些想法讲出来。哲学小吧将从一个来自世界民间传统的故事开始,随后就那个故事里的思想进行讨论,我们希望它将发展成为参与者互换意见的平台。 面向略高于中级水平的和高级水平的人。

时间:所有的活动在晚上7点开始。在一个多小时的有组织的活动之后,将是问答活动和自由谈话时间。活动将在9点结束。

讨论会负责人:所有这些课堂和讨论会都将由James负责。他拥有文学双学位英语和哲学,教育学硕士学位,并将完成博士学位。他从1981年开始就是教师和培训师了。期间,他在三个国家教过书,学生包括了幼儿园小孩到跨国公司总裁。现在他是深圳职业技术学院的英语教授,从20042月份开始负责过深圳的上百个活动,有公司培训、沙龙、课堂及家教等等。
