• Teaching English



• Employing Novel Ways to Teach English
  I am applying to teach English to high-school students in South Korea. I intend to study the Korean language and gain an understanding of Korean culture. I would develop a comprehensive understanding of Korean education methods to make comparisons with the U.S. education system. I would also coach students in soccer, providing another environment for teaching. My Korean team could then email with my former Rising Sun High School soccer teams in America.
  
  
• Teaching English as a Foreign Language
  I propose to teach conversational English to high school students in South Korea. Through teaching, I will share my knowledge of American culture and the English language. I propose to organize an after-school English club, and volunteer locally at an organization for children. During the 4-6 week winter vacation, I hope to intern at an organization devoted to fostering international cooperation between South Korea, the US, and East Asia.
  
  
• Teaching Assistantship
  I am applying to teach conversational English to middle and high school students in South Korea. In addition, I will share my knowledge of American history and culture. I intend to study the Korean language and expand my knowledge of Korean pedagogical approaches to education. I will observe other classes during my free time to gain a more comprehensive understanding of Korean Schools. I will also tutor students in English after school.
  
  
• Teaching Assistantship
  I hope to obtain a teaching assistantship in a high school in South Korea. I plan to volunteer with an organization specializing in development and programming, if posted in a city where such an organization exists and time permits. I am also interested in coaching track and organizing formal debates on issues of interest to students in my community.
  
  
• Teaching Assistantship
  I propose to teach English in South Korea, where I will share my knowledge of American culture and the English language with my Korean students. My experience as a tutor and as a student of languages will allow me to teach English effectively in an accessible and engaging manner. From my experience as a teacher in Korea, I will gain a better understanding of the Korean educational system and of the Korean language and culture.
  
  
• Teaching Assistantship, High School
  I am applying to teach conversational English to middle and high school students in Korea. I hope to share my experiences of American contemporary culture as well as my knowledge of the English language. I intend also to study the Korean language and expand to Korea my work with Education for Development, a non-profit organization I founded. This would include the exchange of pen-pal letter and other media between Korean and American students.
  
  
• Empathy and Learning: A Teaching Assistantship
  During my time in South Korea, I hope to engage the students' interest in the English language. While focusing on the oral aspects of the language, I intend to incorporate pieces of American culture. I will use my previous ESL teaching experiences to create a comfortable and enjoyable learning atmosphere. I hope to infuse the lessons with good-will and humor, so that the students will remember the English language as well as America in a peaceful, pleasant way.
