Saturday KOTESOL Workshops in Seoul

On the third Saturday of each month, there are free KOTESOL workshops held in Seoul.  Membership isn't required.  A sense of direction is. :-)

We headed west from the Sookmyung Station and headed west through the pedestrian tunnel and up the hill.  The main campus entrance looks wonderful.  However, we spent about 10 minutes asking for directions to the Injaegwan.  When our Korean teachers put their heads together with the campus security, we realized it was a few blocks back in the direction we came.  It's outside of the campus boundaries we saw on the map.  We also missed this sign...

The final brown sign has the word TESOL and an arrow. 
Pretty good hint, ^^



This is the place.

The sign said to use the side entrance (past the cars in the photo)
to get to room 105.


There are a variety of workshops for all kinds of English teachers. This month featured classroom management techniques and next month will feature error correction.  The latest schedule can be found here.

Education.com


What makes me a fun teacher?  The kids love my English speaking, ukulele playing monkey.  It is a source of endless joy.  However, once in a while when Bonzo isn't up to the challenge, I need to create a new lesson.

When I try to create new materials for my classes, I get stuck searching for "TEFL-y" types of websites that focus on worksheets.  Some of them are pretty obscure.  A really good website for hands-on activities is Education.com.  I wish I had discovered it sooner.  

A lot of the lesson plans in their kindergarten section would work very well for young English students.  Here is a link to the kindergarten page.
