TaLK program

It was the summer of '10 when I discovered the TaLK program (Teach and Learn in Korea). The TaLK program is where college students can exchange to a college in Korea and teach elementaary students English in an after school program. You can also just teach English without exchanging to a college. This program is ideal for those who want a cultural experience while still in college. Scholars teach in the rural cities in Korea to children who might not have as much of a cultural experience as those who live in major cities. For more information about this program visit the website talk.go.Kr.

I applied immediately and was under the impression that the application process wouldn't take me too long. To my surprise it took about 4 months. The process is very detailed, nothing difficult, just long. I then received my acceptance on Dec 1 2011 for the spring semester. I will be leaving on Feb 2nd 2012 and arrive in Korea the 3rd. The first month will be an orientation inSeoul, korea. After the orientation i will go to my assigned region of Gyeongbuk:)

Each post I will be leaving updates on what I am learning and seeing during my adventure in Korea.
