早洩是一種令人尷尬和令人討厭的性功能障礙，會影響大多數男人的生活方式。用簡單的話來說，早洩被描述為一種條件，在這種情況下，男人在性交的某個時間點比他們或伴侶的真正意願更早射精。與勃起功能障礙不同，早洩會影響各個年齡段的男性。…Continue

Supporter What makes a good teacher?

The inestimable Jermey Harmer has been recently reviewing this immortal topic as he travels the world and collects his paycheck for all the years of hard work he's put in. Here is a very much younger Jeremy Harmer discussing the same subject, nice dialogue. Also, I love his answers here. Here…

Supporter EPIK Song of the Week #5

Wilco is a home town favorite of mine. I have seen them play once and was floored until front man Jeff Tweedy through a temper tantrum on stage. Apparently he is really hard to work with from what former band members have said. Good thing he… Continue

Supporter The "small" things - micro teaching skills.

Continuing off from yesterday's post about micro skills and management that can really decrease the distance between teacher and student -- I thought I'd continue and post up some helpful "small" and practical advice that I've gleaned from my diverse 17 years of EFL / ESL teaching.

I do so because (and I'm repeating myself :)) it is the small things that make…

Supporter Maestro Epopeya Justino

Korea has been opening trade agreements with South America lately. This is event by the abundence of Chilean wine at the supermarket. In addition companies like POSCO (the second largest steel producer in the world) often turn to the resources of South America for their manufacturing industries. Despite this I have seen almost no evidence that Spanish is being studied. There are a few Spanish speakers in Pohang that I am aware of. Some of…

Supporter Kindergarten Updated..

I've taken to refining my technique over the last week or two dealing with my kindergarten classes. As much as I appreciate the enthusiasm of the little people for embracing life it can at times be counterproductive for maintaining some order in the bedlam of a class of 40 or so little people. My own pet phrase for understanding kindergarten runs, "Kindies are like packs of rabid ninjas who want to kill you. With dull forks."

Over the last month of teaching public kindies I've seen… Continue

Supporter Don't Dim the Light! - Education and censorship

I think many American educators but also teachers everywhere, should be VERY concerned about how governments and large corporations are trying to limit and filter the access to information online by students.

This is happening at a rapid pace and I'm horror struck. Please read the article below about pending Communication Commission regulations. The author makes the very sane argument that not only is this against any notion of freedom of speech but… Continue

Supporter EPIK Song of the Week #4

So I just used Dave's Top 5 game in a class of third grade middle school students. Now as you may know here in Korea 3rd year MS students have already had their final examine. As you can imagine they have little or no interest in classes right now, even the ones where we are just having fun are much more difficult than usual to keep them on task.

Nonetheless I have been busting a gut since last period because the group right in front of me are a bunch of lively boys and one (usually)… Continue

Supporter Online Chain Stories - What worked for you?

Another aspect of this writing CALL project that I am working on is to initiate an online chain story with imaginary class. As a pre-lesson activity, I'm asking my students to take a survey I've developed online. The survey is intended to get a gauge on their individual learning styles as well as their preferences for writing topics ranging from politics to science fiction. I'm going to use the results of the survey to develop a chain story. The class is going to be divided into groups and each… Continue

Supporter Electronic Writing Journals - Advice, Examples, Suggestions?

Hi everyone,

I'm a grad student currently working on a CALL topic presentation focused on creating an online writing unit complete with lesson materials. I wanted to integrate an electronic writing journal in which the students would be asked to 1) write on assigned topics and 2) reflect on their learning experiences throughout the course. The goal of the first task was to hopefully prompt the students to share their entries with their classmates and discuss. The goal of the second… Continue

Supporter Kindie Magic

I'm just over 6 foot tall and a pretty robust fellow. You'd think I'd be the last person you would come across teaching kindergarten classes. Despite my size, beard, and gender I've been having a packet of fun working with the little people.

Some of the things I've quickly learned are;

1) They are little people.. Don't tower over them or you'll probably terrify them. I tend to stand off to the side a bit and try to kneel if I can.

2) Keep activities quick and… Continue

Supporter Chinese Public Schools

I taught my first two public school classes today for nine year olds as a part of a community good will effort to line the pockets of my school owners. Despite the underhanded feeling about being shared out to various schools I do admit the experience is helpful as I plan to work in a public school in Korea someday.

Today, I taught one class of 48 students and another class of 40 students. As soon as their primary teacher left the classroom it turned into a three ring circus. The… Continue
