Teaching in South Korea

My current schedule

I teach from 9:40 AM to 6:00 PM with various breaks during the day.

A list of my classes…

Morning:

  • June
  • April
  • March
  • November
  • July
  • Sha Jha
  • February

Afternoon:

  • B1
  • B4
  • C3
  • C5
  • D2
  • Ivy

And as for the naming scheme. The pre-school classes (morning classes) are named after the months of the year. January is the lowest level of the youngest age group. November is the highest level of the oldest age group. I’m not quite sure where the break points are.

Sha Jha is the name of the classes that meet in the Kindergarten. They’re separate from rest of the school. The come all day and only study English a few periods a day. This is the class I have with 22 three-year olds.

The elementary school classes (afternoon classes) are given a letter and a number. The letter indicates the age group, with A being the youngest and D being the oldest. The number indicates the level, with 1 being the lowest and 6 being the highest. Ivy is made up of kids from all age groups and is the “elite” class. They are considered to be the top students at the school.

 

So, here’s my current schedule, courtesy of Open Office.

    So what month is Sha Jha? The 13th month of the year?

    No, the 13th month is Octember (anyone remember that Dr. Seuss book?).

    I’ll add that in. See. You’d think I’d learn by now not to be blogging (or posting) at midnight.
