Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Before starting my TEFL course to gain a more professional basis, I worked as an English teacher in South Korea for about one year. In this short essay, I will explain some of the most prominent difficulties South Korean students seem to face when learning English. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Laura M. First and foremost, the educational structure in South Korea is quite different from those of Europe or the United States. Korean kids usually start studying English from the age of three. However, the average class size of about 40 students is way too big for such young students, making any interaction between teacher and student impossible. Later on, most Korean students become very exam-conscious. In order to get into a...  [Read more]

Elizaveta Pachina Teaching Ideas Many students of English as a Second Language (ESL) find that, of the many struggles they have with the language, pronunciation is the most difficult to master. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Sophie M. Please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. Pronunciation is an extremely important ability to have to sound more fluent in English. By gaining the knowledge and skill of proper pronunciation, an ESL student can come across at a much higher level of English ability and intelligence. However, this is easier said than done. In South Korea, for example, certain sounds aren’t used in their language but are used in English. Because these sounds don’t exist in Korean, students...  [Read more]

Having lived in South Korea for four years, I got pretty good at recognizing the primary pronunciation errors and made a game of interpreting the intended words. Here are the most frequently made mistakes I observed. When a Korean pronounces an “s” sound that is followed by a long “e”, he will invariably want to say “shee.” So...  [Read more]

My wife, who is South Korean, and I, traveled to Seoul in 2009 to work with NK refugees. I was able to glean the following facts from the internet about the Hermit Kingdom's english education process. (The wording is my own.) It is not politically correct to learn english in North Korea. Any overt interest in that language or any of its speakers will immediately bring suspicion and worse. But even for those students who because of being chosen for a...  [Read more]
