Tonight I taught my first TOEFL Jr. class. I was supposed to begin teaching it last week during the first week of the summer term, but we didn't not have any students signed up for it other than my branch manager's son, which felt strange since I kept imagining him watching his son in class through the CCTV.
This TOEFL class has far more material to prep than my other classes at CDI, or it seems that way after teaching a specific method for the past 10 months. We're focusing on grammar, reading, and listening skills, and their strategies to help the students do well on their first TOEFL exam. I haven't had to teach such intense grammar skills since my senior teaching placement in a 5th grade classroom.
I'm looking forward to this weekend - I'm visiting a friend from training in the city of Daegu, which is about 2 hours south of Seoul if I take the fast train, KTX. I'm going to spend Saturday exploring Daegu, and then Sunday we're going to take a day trip to Busan, the port city that faces Japan. Will definitely have to post photos... as well as those from the baseball game I have yet had time to upload.
