Training Day #2

On the second day of training, we learned about the school’s curriculum for different English levels. Each one of the trainees was given a book and a lesson, and we had to present the material to the rest of the class. This was a very helpful exercise because we were able to see what kind of resources we have access to, and what works and what doesn’t. Obviously, we weren’t in a typical classroom setting. However, Robert was able to give us valuable feedback when we finished and give us tips for when we’re in the classroom.

When training was over, one of the trainees, John, and I went to Myeongdong. It is a very popular area among foreigners because it has major stores from back home like Forever 21, H&M, and Zara. This is a huge shopping district, and it also has a lot of western food. John wanted to see it, so he and I took the subway a few stops and checked it out.

We wandered around a little bit, and then ran into Smoothie King. He had never had Smoothie King before, (he’s from the UK, and they don’t have that there), so he was really eager to try it! He loved it! Around 8pm, we both went our separate ways and headed home. I went back to the motel and packed my things…you know why?! Because the director of my school told me that I would be moving into my new apartment on Wednesday night, instead of Thursday night. Woot!!
