I had to go to a training seminar with my co-teacher. It was only about 3 hours but it took place on a Saturday and that stunk. My co-teacher was real sweet and took me out to lunch and we went shopping together before we went to the training center.
They had 3 native English speakers give mini lectures on their experiences teaching in South Korea. The first native teacher taught in Korean Elementary Schools for 2 years. The second had been teaching in Korean Elementary Schools for more than 5 years. They were both working for the training center now. The third was a native English speaker that had been working in a hagwan (after school school in South Korea) for a few years. There was 1 main lecturer at the end and he was born in South Korea but moved to America when he was ten. He moved back to South Korea ten years ago and became a teacher here. He gave me an interesting prospective on teaching to ESL students because he could remember being one in America. He also gave use classroom management ideas as well as different reward systems to use.
After the lectures we were treated to musical performances. They were using traditional Asian instruments. A singer came on stage and sang Ulsan Lady. Ulsan Lady is a famous song about Ulsan which is where I live here in South Korea. We also had a condensed version of a Korean Musical preformed for us by the local high school. Lastly a group of boys gave us the "drum experience" as they called it. It was actually really cool. It was two parts. The first part was each of them drumming on traditional drums. The second part was them using brooms and barrels and other non traditional items as drums.
