Erin and Justin

Having a role with very little responsibility, no control over who is in our classes, which or how many classes we teach, or the text book we are to use, one might think that there is no room for fun or autonomy. But the truth of the matter is, we are expected to be demonstrably non-Korean to the parents, more than we are expected to be useful to the students. This therefore, gives us loads of room to teach whatever we want, so long as the basic text is being covered. And considering that many of the texts are either way too easy or way too hard, we teach all kinds of things.

Recently we came up with a winner - getting kids to draw their dreams and then describe what is happening. This is of course, not only good speaking practise, but creates excellent souvenir pictures for us!
