 |
|
I'd like to share here, some Korean content that might be useful for other teachers in Korea.
I've been a big cheerleader of Tar Heel Reader - a site for Special Ed. students/teachers but which is amazingly appropriate for EFL students who lack contextually supported and level right, reading material. It also has audio.
Here are two examples.

I'll be having a contest on EFL Classroom 2.0, the whole month of May. Get details there shortly and maybe win some cash by making a book. PM me if you'd like the special code which enables you to make a book on the site. I hope some of you will participate and share some great work.
Cheers,
DD

Or as I would have put it, 'A site for retards that's perfect for Korean students of all ages'. |

YBS,
Your comment speaks volumes about what YOU need to change. We all know the old adage, "takes one to know one." Keep it positive or just continue on with your old and tired grammar translation focus quietly.
