I have a group of 12 kids in grade 5/6 that I teach Monday to Thursday for an hour. They are incredibly lively and cute. 11 of them are girls so I feel pretty badly for the boy. You know how scared of the opposite sex you were at that age? Ya.. it's even more so for them. Their English is alright but I didn't have much of an idea as to what their level was when I started my lesson today. They were pretty rowdy since I was new to them and all but I showed them a slideshow about me and they were pretty interested in it.
When I let them ask questions about me they mostly just wanted to know if I had a boyfriend, why I didn't have a boyfriend, and if I was going to meet Korean men and date them.
Any way, I am hoping to take some pictures of my work place soon. It's like a little Museum of civilization where they can practice their English in real life settings. Tomorrow I get to dress up as a doctor and teach them phrases like "I have a headache" , "I have a stomachache", etc. I think it will be fun but I have a steep learning curve as I have never taught kids before.
Wish me luck!
