Mark's New Job


Mark at Little Fox Language School


At the entry way you remove your shoes and put on slippers, the line represents the "threshold" which you do not cross with shoes on. Period.


The school is bright and colorful!


Vicky: Mark's Boss

Vicky is exiting one of 5 classrooms.


Inside one of the classrooms.
Little Fox Language School has 160 student ranging from 7 to 16-years-old. Little Fox is a private school, so all of these kids also attend a public school where English is included in their subjects of study. But this extra schooling is necessary if the kids want to master the language and get into a Korean university. Koreans are very hard workers and the children are no exception.
There are 5 Korean teachers that work at Little Fox and Mark is the "English Specialist". Each class is 50 minutes, of which, Mark comes in for 15 minutes. His main role is to facilitate, encourage, example, and correct their English speaking skills.
Mark trained last week with the previous English teacher. Today was his first day of actual teaching. He's still excited about teaching here ... and that's great! :o)
