I enjoyed making this video about teaching beginner students. I decided to head down to Busan, South Korea's second largest city, and make a video.
What do you think is important when teaching beginner students English? What advice would you recommend?

On Saturday 17 October, I went down to Busan to attend a workshop on working across cultures. It was organised by @Korea_TESOL and their Busan-Gyeongnam Chapter.
Juhee Jeong shared some insightful tips on negotiating culture and a great reminder what I learnt many years ago.

Reposting after previously sharing from a questionable source. If you are a guest in one’s country, contribute, integrate and become part of society.
Don’t take advantage of the system just because we are tolerant, and perceived to weak.
Bangladeshi men who are unable to speak English should not be able to claim benefits in our country.
In fact, they should not be able to live in our country.

An interesting article in the IH journal by Martin Sketchley about AI and dogme in the EFL classroom. Worth a read! @ELTExperiences #EFL #teachenglish #studyCELTA
Yesterday, I decided to get MW4 (a new video game) to relax after a busy Saturday.
So far, the campaign is incredibly raw and engaging. I’m hooked and am in the middle of it. Perhaps one of the best stories in a game for a while. Good job @CallofDuty for this game. 👏🏻👏🏻

Over the weekend, I went to Busan for a workshop organised by @Korea_TESOL about culture and communication. I nice reminder of what I studied years ago. Anyhow, I ended up walking nearly nine miles afterwards.
Great fun and I must spend more time in Busan.
