You may be wondering what the heck I am doing with this blog.
I have been too, then it suddenly hit me.
Why not use it to enhance learning of English as a Foreign Language?
Why not make a tool to improve Business English for aspiring professionals seeking to globalize the Korean market?
Why not expand Java, iPhone, and Google programming know-how to young coders hoping to port Korean talents to the world?
Here it goes:
I first got the idea for this blog seeing as how so many others have theirs, talking about their day. Let me tell you about mine:
Today was my worst class. I mean the snotty, rotten know-it-all kids. You know the ones. I was apprehensive but the previous days had been unusual- kids were involved in the work. It was a weird and frightening development.
My baddest of the bad, class 5-10, was coming in. Some kids had been fighting, a bully punched a kid half his size. I didn't see it, or I would have eaten his head. Anyway, they took their seats (well after the bell) and we had our song. As usual, no one sang. The powerpoint came on and they were all laughs. Even the cowardly bully was into it. Thanks to Senorgif all the kids could enjoy it- the smart alecky ones and the illiterate ones all laughing together. Moments like this make the day breeze by.
English language learning has to be fun and easy. Same goes for marketing, and programming. Obviously, everything can't be fun and easy, but boring never wins. People that give up do boring. People without passion are dull. Today I gained from my students an idea. I want to help EFL teachers that are passionate become better teachers- not that they would need my help with passion, but to share resources, ideas, stories, and encouragement to make the education system in Korea better. Later, the world!
