A few of you asked early on what company I got this position through. The recruiting agency was Good Day Korea. The organization that runs the education programs is Deli English Camp (It's translation to Korean is something like: Delicious English Camp, and their tag line is Feed Your Education. Interesting, right?From their website I found photos of my class, Texas.
We had a meeting yesterday where the camp organizers let us know that the students are saying that Chris' math class and my writing class are their hardest subjects. So, today we played Pictionary for the entire class! Hey I'd rather play games too! So we indulged in a little fun for most of the day.
Texas has been doing very well. First we went over basic narrative writing, followed by how to write instructions (I asked them to bring a recipes), and then on to descriptive writing using metaphors. I think it's this section that's getting them.
When I first saw their writing, I realized immediately that they do need help in grammar. Most of them get the tenses all wrong, and leave out "at" and "the" regularly. Some students are frustratingly off and some students are stunning.

Hi Rebecca,
You don't know me but I was googling Deli English and your blog came up as a hit! I have been offered a position with their camp this year but I am a little bit nervous because I have never been to Korea and I have no way of finding out whether the company is credible or not! If you get this message and you don't mind, could you let me know how your experience was? Whether there was anything sketchy? Sorry to invade your blog haha!
