2009 Incheon 40 TESOL Course Wraps Up!!



Buckskin Lily has, sadly, been absent at the last two monthly shoots.  That's because she's been otherwise occupied teaching a TESOL training course for 28 of the the Incheon 40 Teachers.  The course was a 30-hour intensive taught over 5 Saturdays starting on Saturday, October 3rd and concluding yesterday, November 7, 2009.  As always, working with these fine ladies and men was a joy--they are the most wonderful and enthusiastic students any teacher could ever ask for--and I enjoyed every minute I spent with them.  This is one of the best jobs in the world!!

Anyway, with their permission, I snapped a few shots of them on our final day of class for use here in my blog.  On this day, we were exploring the use of music, drama & art in the ESL/EFL classroom.  As always, I like my teacher trainees to experience the activities they will be asking their students to engage in first-hand.  Everyone jumped into their roles with both feet.  There were a lot of laughs yesterday.  And, I hope, a lot of good learning as well.  Like I always tell my students:  good learning should be fun!!!!  Here are a few of the choicest photos.  Enjoy, everyone!!!

As always,
Buckskin Lily

OK...now what?????






"The Hair and the Tortoise"--yes, that's HAIR...this is a re-enactment of a Jon Sciezcka "Fairy Tale" from The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Stories.  Perfect for those with a well-developed sense of sarcasm...


Well...that's all folks!  Hope you enjoyed the pics & thanks to all the wonderful Korean teachers for being such good sports and wonderful students.  It was a blast!!!
