Teaching English in South Korea for a year was a deeply rewarding experience, and I learned a great deal
about Korean language and culture. For one year, I taught primarily 6th grade English at a public
elementary school in Suwon. For most of my students, I was the only exposure that they had to a
foreigner. As a U.S. citizen living and working in another country, I believe this carries with it a huge
responsibility. I am totally committed to this profession, and I take my role as an ESL teacher very
seriously. Teaching English in South Korea is something that I hope to do for many years.
Since I left Korea in June, I have completed my TEFL teaching certification, and I continue to familiarize myself with new lesson planning and game ideas for the classroom. I enjoy talking with other ESL
teachers and sharing new ideas for all English ability levels. I understand that learning English as a second
language, especially for young children, can be overwhelming. I was always very careful to be patient
with my students, and I tried to present material in different ways when it was confusing for them.
I was also involved in projects outside of the classroom. In July 2009, I served as an evaluator on the
hiring board for new GEPIK conversation teachers. Later in the year, I worked with other teachers
proofreading and editing material for the Hwaseong Fortress book committee. When I return to Korea,
I plan to continue these types of activities outside of the classroom. I enjoy staying involved with the
community, and learning more about Korean language and culture. |
