|
|
I am taking my students (3rd grade of MS) to Paju English Village right after the final exams this coming week. Since I don't have any prior experiences with this sort of field trips I have no idea as to how to make this field trip a productive and interesting one.
If you work there or have been there with your students... could you plesae give me advice or comments? Thanks for your time. |

Where a clown suit, you'll fit right in! Are there actually any foreigners there now? |

Save your money. You will be horribly disappointed.
There is NO English spoken outside of the optional activities (and you pay extra for each and every one of those).
Unless you take an English speaking foreigner with you - you will probably not meet one. There are a few East Europeans working in the stores. They don't speak English very well but they are foreign and white.
Our school made the mistake of busing 120 kids up there and we were so disappointed that the principal sent written complaints to the Gyeonggi education office. |

Get a sign written in Hanguel that says your just a visitor and not part of the staff. |

But if your principal tells you that you must go, you must go. The principal is a wise man and anything he says must be the truth. He is all knowing. |

Paju English village is a joke! I did have a nice relaxing afternoon when I went there on a class trip however. Your students will learn absolutely nothing, I suggestion you use the time to bond with your students so it's not a complete waste.
