TaLK - Teach & Learn in Korea
The exclusive ‘TaLK’ (Teach & Learn in Korea)’ program is inviting a select group of four hundred adventurous individuals to visit Korea and teach English. Open to citizens from countries where English is the national language, the program will enable visitors to gain considerable insight into Korean culture and many of the country’s unique traditions. Sponsored by the Korean Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, the event will also provide an excellent opportunity for successful applicants to gain hands-on experience in a professional environment.
Once selected, participants will receive Korean government scholarships and teach English in after-school classes at the elementary school level. Leisure time will awarded, allowing teachers to take time to enjoy some of the cultural aspects while traveling to various destinations of their choosing. Rather than have recipients placed in cosmopolitan areas that are essentially very little different form their respective home countries, teachers will be placed at schools in rural areas in need of greater exposure to English and teach the language by forming one-to-one working partnerships with Korean university volunteers. Therefore, eligible candidates should have a desire to work with children and be flexible with regard to working in a shared classroom setting.
Candidates must also hold a college diploma or university degree, having studied for a minimum or two years in order to meet the requirements.
Those with open minds will no doubt find this a valuable opportunity to see a part of the world that has long remained a mystery and gain indispensable hands-on experience in a very professional environment while doing so.
