Elizaveta Pachina Alumni Experiences Cultural capital according to French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu is the gathering of knowledge, skills, and cultural traits that a person obtains from their personal, social and educational environment (Bourdieu, 1991, p. 14). The educational system in a Korean society differs from the learning practices in Western society. Asian societies such as South Korea, prioritize a teacher-centered learning style where students are expected to respect teachers and not solicit too much information since communication is often indirect and implicit. This group-focused thinking is a main cultural learning difference from Western teachings where individualism is more emphasized and students can freely interact with the teacher on any concerns they have without it...  [Read more]

Based on the skill-level in the classroom, I will begin to introduce basic grammatical structures in small increments before introducing more complex structures.

Both of those areas of teaching were things that I didn't take seriously enough while teaching the past three years. For lesson planning, I'd usually rely on my Korean co-teachers to plan the lessons and tell me what I should do. When I had no co-teachers, I'd either follow the textbook or go to class with a half-put together plan and if the plan wasn't adequate, I would just kill for time. Both of these can be bad, as the students...  [Read more]

Linda Dunsmore Alumni Experiences I might not have realized it before since I was busy studying and just trying to achieve my short term goals but I believe that my mother has been an inspiration for me to become a teacher. I could remember seeing kids at home being taught by my mom and she used pictures to identify certain shapes and animals. My mom was a regular housewife then. She taught only for fun and to make my brother and I be more engaged in learning things with the company of our friends, our playmates. This post was written by our TEFL certification graduate Marie M. I remember how I strived hard to be able to be the best in my class when I was in elementary school.
