My 2021 Take-away
Greetings language teachers and learners! Greetings to you all.
The Yongin-Kotesol Podcast is seeking your story of 2021 in the form of a 30 second sound clip of you sharing your 2021 take-away.
You may share a triumph or a tragedy.
You may talk of a joy, a jive, a situation when you felt truly alive.
Perhaps you recall a teaching or learning moment that caused someone's world to expand.
You may have a single aha! moment or a series of little things that added up to an exciting event.
You may have come to understand another person better, or grasped how they felt.
We all take away something a little different from our experiences and now, I am asking you to share a brief insight into your experience living, teaching, and learning here in Korea.
A 30 second recording on your phone is fine. Just find a good spot, and tell us what you’ve got. Send your recording to the address below. Include your name or not.
My 2021 Takeaway: yonginkotesolpodcast@gmail.com
In time for year end reflection, The Yongin-Kotesol Podcast will publish an audio montage of all the responses I have received before December 25th.
Merry Christmas to language teachers and learners everywhere.
My name is Greg Lewis and this is the Yongin-Kotesol Podcast. Join us, won’t you?

In this episode (E28) we take listeners inside the mind of a young teacher wobbling on the edge. Rebecca is stressing about how to manage her life this summer in Korea during covid-times. With a little help from her inner Yin and Yang, she discovers a way forward that ignites her passion once again.
This is a podcast drama featuring Kristy Dolson, Michael Free, and Dorothy Zemach.
Music by Kevin MacLeod.
A short episode that is really a call for people teetering on the edge of filmmaking and willing to share their process of taking the leap or not. And just to be clear, these are not feature films! - no, these are short videos for submission to the 2021 Filmmaking Festival and National Conference. You can find all the information at:

In this 2nd instalment of the summer series, I revisit Rhea Metituk to see how things are progressing generally and then chat with the Film Festival Chair herself, Ashley Ford. And believe me, things are heating up! It's very exciting, and there are loads of things going on.

This is the first episode in a new Yongin-Kotesol Podcast series tracking the creation and delivery of the 2021 National Conference which will be held in November. We begin in late April with Rhea Metituk and early May with Lisa Hunsberger. We also attempt to introduce not just the conference to listeners, but some of the eccentricities of KOTESOL to new listeners.

In what may be the final episode in the 'Now and Then' series for 2021, we catch up with Kristy Dolson who made the unenviable transition back to her home country in Covidien times. But that doesn't seem to have dampened her enthusiasm as you will hear. Get ready for some joyful energy!

It's never too late or too early to reflect on your profession. Here are some insightful words from the close of the 2017 year at Yongin Chapter Meeting. Guests Mike Chesnut and Michael Griffin presented "Exploring Our Narratives as ELT Professionals". Join us for a discussion with these veterans of TESOL as they share how Reflective Practices help us to summarize our experiences and consider ways to better understand ourselves.
For our September 2017 meeting we are thankful for the presentation by Cheryl Woelk. Listen in as we consider intercultural understanding, EFL teaching-learning, and moving toward a more just society by engaging in conflict resolution discussions.

June at Yongin KOTESOL was a fun time of exploring the technology available in order to increase fluency for EFL learners. We thank Brian for his insights and helpful information.
April's meeting was focused on Reading and we gratefully welcome our two presenters to share a summary of their presentations.
Roxy Lee offered her thoughts about Extensive Reading in Korean public schools. She described ways to help students continue their joy of reading while avoiding the burden that can come with doing so in English. Also, she explains how to take advantage of the English books you may already have available.
Danielle Ryder shared about simplifying the process of Literature Circles. She tells us how some language barriers were overcome and why differentiation with the use of graphic organizers can really help students with their comprehension.
Our May 2017 meeting featured a presentation about getting students to talk with each other. Alex Grevette shares his insights about conversation in EFL classrooms, being an author and the joy of hearing students use what they have learned.
Invisible Barriers exist between teachers and students; this is especially true when the cultural backgrounds are different. Katie Lim was one of 4 presenters on Saturday, March 11th, to help the Yongin KOTESOL chapter have a better understanding of this common situation.
Embarking on an adventure to be more relevant and try new ways of reaching our audience. Yongin Chapter of Korea TESOL (KOTESOL) is all about us teachers helping each other - and you!
