Officially a registered alien in korea!its fridayyyy!!!!! yayyyyyy!!!! my first official week as a teacher is over! this week has been a mix... i've had really good classes and then i had really bad classes... the 1st day was a total nightmare.. students were just out of control and like i said in the previous post.. when they cant understand you.. they'll just stare at you blankly... the only good class was my grade 7 ..
on monday night i was dreading coming to work the next day.. not only because i couldnt handle the students but because i was sick of doing my introduction already.... that day i only did 4... i teach 25 classes so i had 21 more to go!
after 2 days of teaching i started to get used to the students and got an idea what kind of level each grade was on and what kind of attitude they would give me... the grade 7 was the best.. the grade 2 .. they were ok.. they're willing to participate and join in what i had but they werent as enthusiastic as the grade 7... the grade 3 however was the worse... the first few days i played nice and let them sit there.. but i got so fed up with it i became a mean and strict teacher.. hahaha
today i had the BEST class.. it was one of my grade 7 class.. it was so fun.. i did my intro then had them ask questions... they asked everything.. are u married... do u have a bf... where do u live... do u like korean food.. can u speak korean... do u like girls generation.. whats your ideal type bf... are u gonna marry a westerner or a korean.. it was heaps of fun... after that i got them to introduce themselves to me... some told me they were in love with their gf... otheres danced and sang... b4 i knew it 45 was up and class was over...
next week i start teaching the classes for real... as in from their textbook... i actually have no idea what to teach them yet... today i started writing up dialogues that they can do but i think il need to do more searching... its very hard to teach the students how to speak and pronounce words correctly.. they say v as vuie... we played hang man and i kept hearing vuie vuie vuie .. i was like wthhh ?
lol so this weekend will be a quite weekend.. i think im spending to much money anyways on shopping so i think i should stay in and save my money until my next pay... i guess its gonna be a weekend of tv shows/movies and lesson planning!
안녕~

Yeah my kids cant pronounce the letter F, P, R, V too, so i just let them repeat it til they pronounce it correctly. But then when i see them again they would say it wrong again so i'd have to fix them...long process, it'll take time.
