Enjoying English while interacting with Filipino teachers

In the first half of the event, participants teamed up with Filipino teachers to tackle English quizzes and the popular Filipino game 'Pinoy Henyo.' In 'Pinoy Henyo,' one player holds a board with an English word and asks teammates yes-or-no questions in English to guess the word. The team that correctly identifies the most words wins. Through collaborative clue-giving in English, natural interaction emerged among participants and teachers, filling the venue with smiles throughout.

Outside of games, learners who usually interact online met face-to-face, discussing their challenges and learning methods in English.
