Attention Daegu-Gyeongbuk KOTESOL faithful: We are meeting again on the first Saturday in April - the 1st. Current members and non-members alike are invited! Feel free to bring a friend and invite your colleagues, too.
The Daegu-Gyeongbuk Chapter of Korea TESOL serves EFL teachers in Daegu and the greater Gyeongsangbuk-do area with monthly meetings to share information about English language teaching, engage in professional development, and to socialize with like-minded folks.
Agenda: be ready to join in the conversation and share your experiences, thoughts and ideas.
3PM Meet’n’greet new friends and old. New friends: Tell us about yourself and your interests!
3:30 Workshop: Motivation - Pat King
We all need to recharge our teaching batteries now and then. This brief presentation/workshop offers a chance to share what helps you, and why. Over the years teachers accumulate many tools of the trade. The hope here is that we will exchange some of our best tools from our toolbox, such as a favorite motto, mantra, maxim, quote or truism that keeps us going when we get drained. So let's connect the jumper cables, give each other a jolt and spark the ignition.
4PM Workshop: The ABCs of ELT Team Challenge
Refresh your knowledge of ELT jargon in this team challenge and perhaps learn a new thing or two.
4:30 KOTESOL News and Notices
