A brief note between classes

Today we had 4 lectures on a variety of different subjects. In order, they were:

1. Exploring Korea
2. The Korean Secondary School System
3. The Korean Elementary School System
4. The Theory & Practice of Teaching & Listening in Korea

They were all well done and gave us a lot to think about and mull over.

One of the moments that stuck with me was this:

• Instructor: "What are you teaching?"
• Everybody: "English!"
• Instructor: "Yes, but remember you are also teaching people and people are more important than English."

It was an interesting interchange and definitely something I think that all of us as teachers need to remember.

Now it's off to our first class on the Korean language!
