2008 TaLK Application
The ‘TaLK(Teach & Learn in Korea)’ program is inviting four hundred individuals to teach English to students and to experience and learn about Korean culture. Sponsored by the Korean Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, ‘TaLK’ will sponsor individuals interested in gaining personal and professional enrichment through teaching and learning in Korea. The program is open to citizens of countries where English is the national language. (Special consideration will be given to individuals of Korean ethnicity.)
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Participants will receive Korean government scholarships and teach English in after-school classes of Korean elementary schools in rural areas while enjoying cultural experience programs during leisure time. Recipients will be placed at schools in rural areas in need of greater exposure to English and teach the language by forming one-to-one working partnerships with selected Korean university participants. A candidate should have a desire to work with children and flexibility with regard to working in a shared classroom setting.
