I hope Filipino English Teachers can work in Korea. Re: I hope Filipino English Teachers can work in Korea. lee-bum-suk

Hal I wouldn't presume to tell you anything about the shipbuilding industry. I wish you would give us the same courtesy. Angel and I have had words in the past but I respect this person's position because he/she is in the industry and not an outsider.

I really think you are out of your league here as you have little to no personal knowledge about the EFL...

I hope Filipino English Teachers can work in Korea. Re: I hope Filipino English Teachers can work in Korea. kilhallon

Angel,

I find your comments equally laughable, as will everyone else you have insulted. 

""To pretend you really know anything about this, is laughable""

So ONLY YOU have grasped the finer points of the exercise. How so very observant and intuitive you are.

Have you ever considered a career in the United Nations???

I hope Filipino English Teachers can work in Korea. Re: I hope Filipino English Teachers can work in Korea. Angel

To pretend you really know anything about this, is laughable. None of you, seem to really grasp the point of these programmes.They will end these, when they want to. The main Ethos is not restricted by the question of money, qualifications, or skin colour.These paranoia merchants should take a few Prozacs, or something else.In my opinion, you have...

LBS, 

I get this feeling that you are consciously avoiding the inevitable, but admit it is happening unconsciously. Perhaps you just naturally disagree with anything stated on this site!!

beginning? or perhaps the end. Your comment I believe!!

You agreed a few weeks back that it was the worst you had seen. The rates paid without argument have...

beginning? or perhaps the end.

I don't hate anyone dog. What I do find funny though is that the number of positions was not disclosed by Kavi and only THE INDIANS ARE COMING!  What is this scare whitey week?  

With those measily numbers it seems more like a political stunt to satisfy a visiting diplomat than a genuine effert to obtain Indian-English...

I hope Filipino English Teachers can work in Korea. Re: I hope Filipino English Teachers can work in Korea. Dogarse Don't worry Kavi, LBS always tries to change the scope of the argument when he his position is shown to be demonstrably false.

Incidentally does anyone else constantly read the title of this thread as "I hate Filipino teachers"

You are correct, A whopping 12 of them in fact! 1-2 twelve of them. I will worry for my job when it's 1200.

Dear Kavi, show me a link or show me the program details but unless you have proof I'm going to concider this rumor control central.. http://www.epik.go.kr/ has no word of this anywhere on it's website. You'd think they would, wouldn't you?

Masters in Education or Teaching Licensure in Korea Re: Masters in Education or Teaching Licensure in Korea acornrevolution

I'm halfway through my masters in Language Education and TESOL from Indiana University.  The program is solid.  The courses are comprehensive and it will definitely improve your teaching.  It won't give you licensure, but it will give you the necessary coursework and knowledge for both the Praxis exam and probably a temporary teaching cert (depending on state/country).

Travel Doctor Re: Travel Doctor krash hey there, I found it really hard to find a hospital that gives travel vaccines in Busan.  I eventually went to the Pusan National University Hospital in Yangsan (last stop on green subway line) to get my tetanus and hep. shots.  If you find the same problem I did, take a korean friend with you and head to Yangsan. You shoudnt need an appointment but it would be better to call ahead (ph... 2 years 49 weeks ago
I hope Filipino English Teachers can work in Korea. Re: I hope Filipino English Teachers can work in Korea. kilhallon

This is going to be "wait and see" scenario I think.

Saying that, I note that someone is selling a Hakwon on this site, and with the following comment.

""It's currently running a small loss. (Income less than expenses). So you need to be able to cover this loss until you either increase student numbers or reduce expenses.""

I hope Filipino English Teachers can work in Korea. Re: I hope Filipino English Teachers can work in Korea. lee-bum-suk

Hal....I am an old timer also and I  respect what you say but it isn't going to happen.  Koreans can only handle white people teaching their kids and that's the end of the story. I've been waiting 15 years for the Filipinos and Indians and whomever to come and take my job from me.

Really, this thread is as old as that. I heard about this 1995 and...

Irony and Busan FM Re: Irony and Busan FM AlexTeacher You know I have no idea. It airs this Sunday at 7. James Turnball from the Grand Narrative will do the first 30 minutes, talking about gender roles in Korea and such and then I'll be doing the second segment. Jeff of KoreaBridge will be interviewing us and then there will be a post show live on KoreaBridge webcast thingy at 8 I think.  2 years 49 weeks ago

Ahh LBS, if only it were so. Us foreigners these days don't do as well as we used to, my expenses no longer even stretch to a good meal these days.

To be perfectly frank with most of the threads here, I really understand what the feelings are, and why. We ( the marine industry ) went through the same series of emotions and thoughts many years ago, all over the world. Salaries...

Travel Doctor Re: Travel Doctor capt_kimchi There's a travel clinic in DongA Hospital in Gudeok.  I'm not sure if they speak English but they have a foreigners desk, and they will go in with you to translate.  Alternatively, I think you can assume that most major hospitals have the same service.  2 years 49 weeks ago
