    Loved watching this. At first, I thought that a 40 minute video would drag on forever, but the game was fun and before I knew it, the video was done. I am sure that the kids enjoyed it too. Great Bunch of kids! Thanks for Sharing.

    Nice to see some parallels in teaching!

    Good job ... thanks for sharing. I'm impressed that the student follow the conversation so well and largely seem to be pretty consistent with each other.

    • @Reddragondiaries
      @Reddragondiaries  9 років тому +2

      +Glenn Laycock I tend to use similar phrases and instructions each class so they are used to it now. They can follow. Also, instructions on coming to order are all learned behaviors after working with them for a couple years now.

    • @Reddragondiaries
      @Reddragondiaries  9 років тому

      +Edward Kwak I think this was the lesson throughout many schools in Korea. I try to keep it lively and interesting as much as possible. More effort, but worth it overall.

  • @GigglyTeaRose
    @GigglyTeaRose 8 років тому +1

    Heading to Daegu in the Spring with EPIK. It'll be my first ESL experience, so it's really cool to see what an actual lesson might look like! Thanks for sharing!!!
    Does the dress code vary from school to school? I had in mind it was a trousers and collared shirt kind of position, but I'm guessing jeans and a hoodie are ok (at least in some schools)...

    • @Reddragondiaries
      @Reddragondiaries  9 років тому +1

      +Mike Kearns it depends I guess. Just dress as everyone else does. In public schools it's a bit casual, but just see how they dress when you get there.

    • @eye2eye899
      @eye2eye899 7 років тому +2

      Fintan Rawsthorne this is what I'm also wondering... does the ESL teacher even need Korean skills to be a "guest" teacher?

    • @Alysaah
      @Alysaah 7 років тому +1

      bryn eigl from what I read before, no they don't speak Korean at all. They only speak English to get them used to English and comfortable speaking it. I seen a lot of teachers who don't even know Korean.

    • @MrNothingButAir
      @MrNothingButAir 7 років тому +2

      even if he did, the best way to learn english is constantly listening to it. Make sense that he wont speak a word in korean so they can get more comfortable with the language.

    • @LethalLemonLime
      @LethalLemonLime 7 років тому +1

      He does speak some. Like when he said "very 크게" when he was trying to explain to them to speak loudly

    • @mrstzeed
      @mrstzeed 7 років тому

      My understanding is it literally depends on his visa. E2 holders are not allowed to speak any Korean while teaching. They can only teach in English. I might be mistaken, but that was the information my recruiter gave me.
      EPIK and hagwon teachers almost always have an E2 visa.

    Red dragon diaries: Okay that makes sense, if i hadn't stopped it should of taken me about 4 years in total to get to the black belt level when considering the time it took me to get to the green belt. I'm relieved in a way because i don't feel like the few levels i have were simply given to me simply because i was older. I remember working awfully hard to get even to green. I appreciate your input once more red dragon diaries. Merry christmas and happy new year!

    • @Reddragondiaries
      @Reddragondiaries  8 років тому

      +mike lrourkes Every club will run differently, but the accepted international guidelines put time in grade somewhere around 3-4 years for adult shodan. I think it's unfair for someone who is a green belt having to play someone who has been a green belt for 4 years. Unfortunately it's not your fault and you should probably be a different rank. For those that do it purposely, it's called sandbagging and that's why judo has a curriculum in place. I hope you keep training though. So for example, if you walk into a tourny and beat 4 or 5 black belts, you'll be promoted to black belt on the spot. It's not so much a compliment as much as it is a mechanism to keep things fair.
      Merry Christmas to you too!

  • @544cachito
    @544cachito 8 років тому +2

    Red dragon diaries: The club i trained at is run by the highest ranking sensei in canada, sensei nakamura. That's why i value his teachings so much which is why i asked you about all this, especially you getting your black belt in korea.
    Thanks again red dragon diaries.

    • @Reddragondiaries

    He is quiet amazing, that's also why i wanna go back to continue learning judo, hopefully from him. His not as present as he used to be and for the last couples of year Nicolas gill whom he coached for his whole carreer has been involved full time.

  • @tame112blood
    @tame112blood 9 років тому +13

    I see why you set the camera on that side. Those six are your problem area. Though I think I know why. Would I be right in my assumption that they are your strongest English speakers as well? They think or they might actually know more than what they are being taught. This leads to them acting bored or out. However, the class seems to be tamed overall.
    Jeopardy or Who Wants To Be A Millionaire with a twist would be nice additions to that curriculum. These games make children think and understand what they are actually saying by being able to relate it back to a known source.

    • @Reddragondiaries
      @Reddragondiaries  9 років тому +10

      +tame112blood you're spot on with the one right in front of the camera. He's very strong with English, so he can be a renegade sometimes. That's not why I put the camera there, but it did help!
      Yes, those are great activities too. I agree, any game where they need to think and speak are probably best

    I always yell EVERYONE! in korean and lean against the board or table, and they respond naturally NEEEH! it works much better than good morning. and then they get going. my classroom is three times as big as yours and I have middle school students. Imagine me yelling across the room lol. I got a mic a month into teaching and it saved my ass

    • @Reddragondiaries
      @Reddragondiaries  9 років тому +1

      +MusingsofaJay♡ middle school is definitely tougher I think. My first school was middle school girls and the classes were larger as was the room. I think my life would be easier now if I went back - knowing what I know now

  • @myne5689
    @myne5689 4 роки тому +2

    Hi, this is years late but could you please answer I'd love you for it! Is it possible to make a career out of teaching english in korea with a regular bachelors and not a masters of english or something. And can you stay longer than 1 year, can you extend the contract or actually make it more of a career? Does it become easier to come back once you've done it once? Is this good long term, I am 27 would this be a good career path into your mid to late 30s? I currently work as a customer service rep at sunlife in canada and I only make around 38,000. The cost of living in Canada is quite high which is worth noting. I've heard Korea has made cuts to funding english teachers and its not as good as it once was, is this true? Thank you!

    I need videos like this, but for learning Japanese. Why is it so hard to find this kind of stuff in Japanese?

    red dragon diaries: I need to ask you a question about the traditional judo ranking system. I began judo in my twenties and some guy told me that, when you begin judo later in life you are ranked with only solid color such the usual white, yellow, orange ect... He goes on to say that when beginning judo as a child, you are given a different ranking system. Which that you begin with white to move onto half white and a half yellow belt, yellow, half yellow half orange and so on...... I've never seen it nor heard about this ranking system. What do you think?

      +mike lrourkes There are junior rankings available as well. Up to junior black. Remember that in judo, a black belt signifies that you've met the requirements of the curriculum which includes knowledge of the the terminology, ability to demonstrate them, kata, and a certain degree of time in grade. Not all black belts are of the same ability, but it signifies the individual met the requirements.

    The big mistake of most English teachers working abroad like this. Is that he is speaking English like he is teaching in a Western school. He is speaking vocabulary that they have not yet learned or is not in the course book. So the students aren’t really learning. And they soon lose interest.

    why doesn't everybody get candy =[

      +taner raven then candy is just a random gift for no real reason. Having it as a prize for the winner motivates the class to get involved in the activity more. Plus, candy for everyone would be really expensive.
