Teaching Tips
Work on Phonics Early - One of the more important elements of most kindergarten programs is teaching English phonics. Sounds made in English are very different than sounds made in other languages, find out where these trouble spots might arise and work on drills to help facilitate growth in these areas. Pronunciation is important for ALL LEARNERS no matter how advanced they are. Start with the basics.

“Well all I can say is it is like nothing you could ever imagine. I am half way through my year and I could never have imagined all that I would learn and experience. Teaching is great, the kids are sweet (most of the time). Korea has lots to see and do. If you like shopping, climbing or eating this is the place for you! Having gotten on the plane and spent half a year here so far I feel like I can do anything. So what are you waiting for? Get on the plane already!”
