This is more of a question...

But what are some things that the Korean Government or Ministry of Education made as a requirement for the English Curriculum in Public Schools?

Anyone know...?

Depends what they consider having one teacher, and from where. Maybe one guy can go to 10 schools in 5 days.

If they want one teacher per school for the whole week, from the rich English speaking countries, it's never going to happen. Unless they free up their visa rules, pay 3+million and even not require 4-year degrees. Even then, it would hard to get a one teacher for every school.

Isn't the whole idea to get the Korean teachers teaching in English by a certain year, then they won't need us anymore?

I mean, they really don't want us whities in their classrooms contaminating their children anyway. Once the Korean teachers can speak English, we will be no more. That's the goal.

Trouble is, Koreans can't speak English and probably won't be speaking it well anytime soon. So until then, the whities will be contaminating their children while the Koreans look on in horror.

The thing is the kids have 3 classes a week and one of those classes is with me. I am at a loss to figure out what they do in the other two classes because they don't even know about a simple sentence.

So wtf do they do in those other classes. I have to teach writing and sentence structure now before I get them to speak. It didn't take long for some of them to learn how to make sentences with me teaching them.

So what exactly do they do in the other classes?
