Fulbright English Program

These last two weeks have been insane! Every year Fulbright hosts am English Camp for Korean students to come and have an immersive English learning experience. It is hosted with us because it is also an opportunity for us to teach the students in the classroom before we are sent out into our field placements. It was awesome. I taught two lessons with a co-teachers. The first lesson, I thought, went fantastically well. I was really proud of the lesson. The second one was just a bit disorganized, but it was still a lot of fun and I feel like the kids did learn something from both lessons.

Outside of class, the ETAs were able to participate in Night Fun, which is just a few hours of different activities to hang out with the students, and Activity Weekend, which is just us trying to keep the students entertained throughout the weekend. Both of these events were so much fun. The students were anywhere from 10 to 17 years old so the dynamic was really interesting, but their English levels were fantastic, even for the "low beginners" which really weren't. I was so impressed with them. They were so entertaining to talk to.

This morning was Graduation day and we had to say goodbye to the students as they were all going home, and it was surprising the amount of emotion from the ETAs. The actual graduation was hilarious. The students put on little skits and presentations and it was so cute. I was so proud of them as they had improved so much in two weeks and they were so proud of their everything they did.
