Exhibit A

I thought this was a joke, what with the scrambling voices and its plainly easy-to-teach-in-Korea message. I mean, it says it's really EASY to teach in Korea just by virtue of being a native English speaker. It's looks as if the video was made by Anti-English Spectrum. But in the video's upper right hand corner (and at the end of the video), it gives a URL for a TESOL certificate website. It's odd how they sell a TESOL course.

Check out this very negative native English teacher cartoon. The cartoonist makes it seem like the NET is writing the F-word on the board. Well, this website is an educational institute website.

Any thoughts?

From Exhibit B:

"Just because he speaks English doesn't make an English lesson. He didn't teach well and moreover he used language that was too difficult which was painful to us."

It's hard to disagree with this.
