Project Description
During the current EL Fellow Program, Post has focused primarily on teacher training workshops, classroom management and demonstration as well as curriculum and material development. Post has determined that within existing English language teacher training programs, methodology courses are overly theoretical, with little attention paid to practical application. Also, these existing methodology courses are taught and administered by Korean professors, with foreign teachers of English specializing in teaching English proficiency. In meeting with teachers nationwide, Post has concluded that teachers are interested in learning to know how to put methodologies into practice. However, the current system makes it very difficult for outside ideas to be considered or incorporated into existing programs.
