Todd: Anili, have you always been an English teacher?

Anili: No, actually, I started out as a French teacher. That was my first job.

Todd: Wow! So tell me about your first job!

Anili: My first job! I was working in Central West Queensland in Australia so it was quite a remote place.

Todd: Sure.

Anili: For example, the nearest supermarket was about 100 kilometers away from me.

Todd: That's amazing!

Anili: And, so of course the students lived, some of the students lived a long way away from the schools, so they had their lessons by teleconference, actually: "School of the Air".

Todd: Wow, so when you had a teleconference for example, how many students would be on

air at the same time?

Anili: I guess around eight, in two different locations. And I would be in the third location so...

Todd: Wow, that's amazing!

Anili: Yeah!

Todd: Yeah! And how often would you be teaching like this?

Anili: Well, the students were aged between 9 and 12 years old. They had two French lessons a week by teleconference.

Todd: Wow, and how long was each lesson?

Anili: 45 minute lessons.

Todd: Great. That's really interesting!

Anili: Fantastic!

Todd: Thank you.
