Post No. 1

In 9 days I will be leaving Korea, my home for the last 18 months, and heading off to Vietnam. This last year I’ve been teaching in a foreign language high school and it is the Monday of my last week of classes.

Living and working in Korea has been great. I’ve spent about 2 1/2 years here in total but it is time to move on. Before I left England I did a TEFL cert – an intensive weekend course followed up with a four-part theoretical study – and while it has been incredibly useful, I want to raise my game and my qualifications. That is where I find myself now, about to take the four-week CELTA course in Hanoi.

Everything I’ve heard about the course is that it is Intensive. A Facebook friend of mine is currently doing the course in Europe so I’m eagerly following her progress and hoping she does well. Maybe attempting to keep a daily blog about the course is overestimating my time management skills, but one of my teaching practice books recommends keeping a course journal. I think it should be a good exercise!

Wish me luck!
