 |
|
I'm working at a JungChul, and just browsing through past posts, I've noticed that a lot of people on this board have worked at or are working at JungChul franchises.
While the straight-forwardness of the lesson plans has been comforting to me in a lot of ways, I can see myself getting bored with it after a while. At my particular school, I'm teaching strictly out of the activity book, and other teachers are handling the other books. What are some ways that I can tweak the lesson plans a bit so that I can mix it up a bit and still stick with the general JungChul plan? I have a lot of classes, and there's been a lot of overlap already, so I need some creative ways to keep from going crazy! |

Since the Jung Chul books are filled with so many errors and poor language structure, you could always have your students rewrite the books. I have found that they are the worst books in the business. I have been teaching for over 10 years and after examining the curriculum of Jungchul I ran away. The entire series is written by Koreans, mostly in Korean. Unfortunately, there is only one or two Native speakers accredited in the books and they are only used as editors. The only good thing about Jungchul is that it is not the standard of EFL.
With all that aside, good luck to you and your year there. My suggestion is to go to as many bookstores and find descent text books that you can use. |

Sorry. I just found that amusing.
You're right about the Jungchul books, they aren't very good, and the audio is a bit off too, wrong intonation and pauses in funny places etc. |
