|
|
Hi all
When I was in Korea a few years ago, I remember EPIK or GEPIK or one of those organizations introducing something called TALK- a program for native speakers from the U.K., U.S. and so on who had completed only 2 years of university.
As I recall, these students were brought into Korea for a shorter amount of time, given a contract that was similar to the standard public school NET contract (with less money and fewer hours) and placed in elementary schools to 'teach' conversation skills.
I have a niece in the States who very well may be interested in something like that this summer and I just wondered if the program even still existed, before I tell her about it.
Does anyone know? Or better, yet... know anyone involved in it? |
