About teaching

Here is a quick message I wrote to one of our clients who asked me about teaching in Korean classrooms. I will expand on these ideas soon as I know it will help a lot of other first-time teachers avoid a lot of stress.

 
Hello Yvan,
 
To be honest, before coming to Korea, I really didn't have any formal teaching experience. So, I was thrown right into it without any idea of what I was doing.  It was really tough at first as I had no idea how to control the kids and get them to do what I wanted.
 
It took me a while to learn that they need a consistent environment and to have very obvious standards to follow in order to give them a sense of what they can and can't do in class. 
 
I think kids are very similar no matter where you go.  There will always be kids who try really hard, then there will be the average kids, and of course, there will be the ones who are more of a challenge. That's the same in Korea.
 
The main thing that I have learned is that kids need consistency and they need obvious boundaries. If they have that, then there are few problems. 
 
Specific to Korea, if you eliminate Korean speaking in class, you virtually eliminate bad behavior.  It's almost a magical formula.  As long as you have a specific system for not allowing Korean in the classroom, you eliminate the majority of your stress.
 
Talk to you again,
 
Jason

Eric Starting Fires in Jeju

Here is a great message from one of our clients and friends, Eric in Jeju.  He participated in the Jeju Wildfire Festival and here is his report:


Hi Jason....
 
I have to share this with you in case you ever wanted to promote Jeju Island/ASKNow, Inc!
 
I have experienced many incredible things in South Korea.....overall, but Saturday
was the most incredible experience of ALL!  I took part in celebrating something very
unique & special.
 
I went to the "2009 들불 축제"....(Wildfire Festival).  The best way to describe it is "WOW"!!!
Of course...most Koreans attended, but I noticed about 25 - 30 foreigners and talked to
about 10 of them.  We were spotted by management and asked to sit front stage.  It was
definitely FIRST-CLASS.  After enjoying the bands and singers "do their thing", the foreigners
at front stage (I was one of them of course) were given white gloves and a lantern.  We
lined-up in rows and our lanterns were lite and we passed the flames to the next person.  The
torches reminded me of the Olympic Torch.
 
15 people were pulled aside at random out of the 100 + who had a lantern.  Guess who was one
of those 15 people picked?  Yep!  One was me.  Wow!  What a great honor!  I felt like a celebrity actor
from Hollywood.  The cameras were flashing....and the bulbs were flashing!  I was going to sign
autographs.......but then I woke-up!    LOL  After I woke-up from the "dream world" I was in, we were
asked...one by one....to throw the fire lantern to start the fire on the mountain. 
 
If you and your wife never went to this festival.....I would strongly recommend you do.  It is celebrated
on Valentines Day each year, but a lot depends on the Lunar path, but no matter what.....I believe they
keep it close/on February 14th each year.
 
Eric (에릭)

ASK Now Wiki Launch!

I am very happy to announce that after a good couple of hundred hours, the ASK Now Wiki is live!
 
 
So, for those that are not familiar with what a wiki is, here's a brief explanation:
 
A Wiki is a type of website where the users are able to easily update and create content in a collaborative way.  Everyone can edit the same page.  The most popular site using Wiki software is obviously Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia. www.wikipedia.org
 
However, what many people don't know is that a wiki can be created for any topic and can be very useful for sites such as ours.  It will allow us to have as much info as possible on living and teaching in Korea and to keep it contantly updated. 
 
More importantly, it allows everyone in the ASK Now community to create pages and update them as they see fit.  So, if you have a favorite restaurant or bar in your neighborhood that you would like to let people know about, just create a page and start typing. If you can write an essay or any other document using a word processor like Microsoft Word, you can easily use the Wiki format.
 
So, visit the page for the city you live in and please, start adding content if you have more info to share.  It will help everyone. 
 
For those new to teaching and living in Korea, the ASK Now Wiki will help you go much deeper and find much more info than anywhere else.
 
Please have a look and click around to see what is available:

English-Speaking Real Estate Agents in Korea

Here is a great post I just came across for anyone looking for English-speaking real estate agents to help them find a place in Seoul. 
 
Jason
 
 
English-speaking real estate agents in Seoul, recommended

Seoul City has selected real estate agents to help foreigners find housing in the city, officials said yesterday.

With the recommendation from the real estate association, the Seoul Metropolitan Government certified 20 offices for offering English service to expats as part of a real estate service improvement project, according to officials. Among these, 10 are located in Yongsan-gu, which has a high foreigner population.

These 20 agencies have been in business for three years or more, and are operated by fluent English-speaking agents. Contract formats and counsel will be available in English.

Below is the list of "Recommended Real Estate Agencies for foreigners' use" compiled in cooperation with the relevant associations - the National Association of Real Estate Brokers, and the Korea Real Estate Brokers Association - for the purpose of recommending suitably qualified real estate brokers. Kindly note that the use of this list is solely for referential purposes and Invest KOREA expressly disclaims all liability to any person or company in respect to any consequences arising from utilization of the services of the real estate agencies included in the list.

Great Book Available: Seoul Fashion Report: Volume One

Hey,
 
This is an email I received from Oscar, one of our clients here in Korea. He is involved in the publishing of a book on Korean Street Fashion and the book is due out soon.  They are also having a launch party on February 22nd in Itaewon for anyone who is interested:
 
 
Please help support other teachers in Korea by checking out the book! Visit the site for a preview.

Hello family and friends:

If you were unaware, I have been a resident of South Korea for nearly two years now since graduating from Cal State Northridge.  In my time here I have managed to tap into the fashion and publishing industries, which has resulted in my first published work.  The Seoul Fashion Report: Volume One is the brainchild of a friend and talented blogger/photographer named Michael Hurt.  He, along with another talented photographer and close friend of mine Denise Lejcar, invited me onboard to join the team in creating the first book on Korean street fashion--ever!  I was the in-house stylist, make-up and hair coordinator, and even penned an article on Seoul couples in the expat community. 

So much attention has been placed on Japanese fashion in recent years, but now we have compiled street images, photo stories, and articles from the sister website www.feetmanseoul.com to showcase the much ignored fashion boom on the Korean penninsula.     

Pre-orders have begun this week, and I am hoping that you can all support us in this venture.  If we are successful with this first volume, we will have the opportunity to create a series of books (already in talks to be sold at international retailers like Urban Outfitters, and online megastore Amazon). 

I hope you'll take the time to check out the sample pdf of the book on the Feet Man Seoul website and patronize our hard work by purchasing a copy or two to further us on the road to fashion relevance in a fairly untapped market. 

Thank you all so much and God bless!

Oscar Daniel Lugo
