Fiona Mulholland - Head of English - Hong Kong
In this episode I’m talking to Fiona Mulholland. Fiona is Head of the English Department at West Island School in Hong Kong.
We discuss:
- The best book Fiona’s ever taught, read or learnt in school and why
- A text or unit that she’s been keen to introduce to the classroom but isn’t quite ready to do so yet
- An introduction to her career to date and why she took the opportunity to teach abroad
- The best and worst things about living and working in Hong Kong
- The challenges brought about when West Island switched to the MYP
- The most challenging part of being a Head of Department in Fiona’s experience
- And finally, the best advice she’s ever been given or come across in terms of teaching
Thanks again to Fiona for giving up her valuable time to offer up lots of fantastic ideas and advice for people working or looking to work abroad.
