Class with native teachers.

Many native teachers from English speaking countries teach in Korea. They are from Canada, United States, England, or New Zealand. Every native teacher has class with a Korean English teacher. I had co-teaching with native teachers more than four years. In addition to monthly salary, they are given place to stay and airfares from and to their countries. They usually have 22 classes in a week. The classes are focused on communicative activites. The Korean government intends to allow students to meet native speakers and to have interactions in English. Korean English teachers also have opportunites to practice English speaking skills in the school. I think native speakers play meaningful role to shift grammar focused teaching to communicative teaching. Sometimes, native teachers have hard time to control the class because Korean classes are croweded, over 40 students. I enjoyed co-teaching with Linsay who is from Ohio, last year. If I back to my position after MA program, I will enjoy teaching with native teachers more.
