Its quite simple, you dont have to be qualified.
All the serious ESL'ers on here will probably say otherwise, but as long as you have a working knowledge of english, and you can handle kids, then you can teach english.
The hardest part about Hogwan teaching is being understood. |

Hehe...the hagwan I was at world say these are not English words and the kids are not required to read them.
Seriously though the grade 6 students were reading a story and it was about a dude ranch. There were Spanish phrases for 'Hello', 'Goodbye' etc. The students would read along and skip these words. I was like...hmmm that was kind of weird...turns out Korean teacher said...Not English...don't worry..don't read.
Not that there is anything wrong with that I guess, but if you are going to choose a story with non-Enlgish words shouldn't you at least touch on it? Otherwise you are only reading words not a story...*shrug* |

| We do the chants, but not the singing. The kids hate the singing! That being said... the Korean teachers make them do it... |

That is the most racist** and derogatory thing I have ever heard.
You should make a public apology to all of the parrots of the world immediately or further action will be taken against you!!! 
**I would have said specist but I refuse to accept it as a word. Plus the way some people around here use the word racist it was probably about as accurate anyway. |

I wouldn't say people on this board use that word so much as they wield it or fling it around.
BTW, what's all this about students "chanting"? (asks the ESL ignoramus) I don't recall that I ever "chanted" when I studied a foreign language, do any of you? In fact, I'm not sure I even understand quite what it means, apart from a spiritual/ritual or musical context. (And perhaps some very short and vulgar football jeers.)
You don't mean singing or reciting prose or reading aloud from a book, but specifically "chanting", yeah? And are these "chants" similar in content & structure to Gopher's "Pizza, pizza, pizza. Yum!" chant? I'm guessing these aren't set to music (otherwise you'd call it "singing" ), but if there's no music, how does the teacher set the tempo and rhythm? I'm sure this can't be as bizarre in reality as it's seeming to me here. |

The word 'chant' comes from a series of books. One of them is called Jazz Chants. I can't remember the names of the other ones.
I read a description of the series that said they were good for repetition, intonation, rhythm etc. I happened to run across three of the books in a bookstore when I didn't have time to look at them. Like a fool, I bought all three. Was I ever disgusted with myself when I got home and looked at them.
Maybe there is a way to use them productively, but I'm not creative enough to come up with it. |
