This is very bizarre. Sorry if it has been mentioned before on here, but I didn't notice it. Posted on the 14th on the ETIS board. At first I thought it was for foreign teachers to be trained before coming to Korea but it is actually for Korean teachers. Be sure to look at the attachment as well. Can't link directly to it, but it is the first link on the "Notice" part of the main page.

Note the date the applications are due- the 25th, I believe. And the program is meant to start in March of this year! Awfully soon, isn't it? Especially this part: "1-3 weeks of an internship at an elementary/middle/high school (class observation, actual teaching practice with students included)"

Surely it takes more than a month to set this kind of thing up.

There is also a request for a six month long program, also starting in March.

And I do hope they posted it somewhere besides their own website.

Not trying to poke fun, just all seems a little odd.

And my apologies again if this has been posted before, or if I got some info wrong. Very weird stuff.

Sorry, just noticed they aren't necessarily starting in March, but rather March or sometime after it. Still, odd.
