Abstracts:
Brian Kim will talk about his method of learning English during his childhood life in New Zealand as well as his career in GEPIK as a Native English Teacher. He will cover classroom management, how to motivate students, teaching mixed levels of students, and so on.
Inah Sung will discuss how even though there are various levels of students in class, they are not used to cooperating with each other to learn from others. Rather, they are too focused on competing in order to win games. There are some ways for students to cooperate and learn from each other through tasks that they can enjoy. These methods can lead them to enhance their English skills.
