I'm teaching english in another country but...

<p>I came back to Korea this summer (my parents live here) and I'm teaching English at KAIST (really famous Engineering school in Korea) in July (next.. week).</p>

<p>I was suppose to receive my syllabus before but I ended up receiving it today due to some email misfunctions.</p>

<p>I was really excited, but I'm not a very good teacher (mostly because I don't know what I'm suppose to do with the students... awkward silences... >_< help me!) and it turns out that all the group leaders have been assigned into a group. That's all good right?</p>

<p>Except my group name is.. parody. I was like. o.O??? What does that mean?</p>

<p>I started getting some ideas but since there are groups like skit, movie, User Created Contents already, I have a feeling I'm going to overlap with those groups a bit...</p>

<p>I thought about doing stuff like making people make parodies of Music Videos or something but I'm not terribly sure what to do... since that overlaps with other groups a bit too. (I feel worse for Sports group though, I have no idea how you are suppose to learn english while playing football. GOD DAMMIT/TOUCHDOWN/GO GO GO MOVE IT MOVE IT MOVE IT isn't going to get you that far...)</p>

<p>I've been brain storming but I was wondering if anybody could lend me some ideas? (i wish it was art club/movie or something like that... That I probably can handle...)</p>

<p>Also if you have tips for teaching in general/teaching english that would be super helpful too!</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>Don't worry about the overlap with other groups. So what?!?</p>

3

<p>yea i like your ideas -- who cares if it overlaps -- it still fits parody, doesnt it??</p>

4

<p>Oh, so I shouldn't worry about it overlapping? I was worried about that bit for some odd reason... o.o thanks guys.</p>

<p>any ideas though/general help with teaching? I've taught before but I was never very good at it...</p>

<p>Play episodes of Family Guy or South Park during class. Done</p>

<p>Hopefully you won't be the only one laughing ^ :P</p>

<p>yeah i can't play family guy or south park since they wouldn't understand anything. i read some of their writing samples today... =_= i wonder if they'll understand much of anything to be honest. :/</p>
