At the English Village, I am employed as a teacher and Content Area Leader for the Speechcasting Program. As CAL, I oversee and maintain curriculum development, scheduling, and day to day teaching for the Speechcasting Content Area. I am responsible for teaching a minimum of two content classes, conducting two homeroom sessions, and contributing to curriculum development daily. Classes consist of 12-25 students, and involve extensive technology use. Often classes are taught with a co-teacher.

The English Village is a new concept in Korea, where students embark on a one week English immersion program. 500 students visit the EV every week in a camp style setting. These are Korean students who aspire to learn the English language. Some have English proficiency, but many have very low English skills. This means that every class teachers must be prepared to change the level of their lessons to accommodate the levels of the students.

2002-2001: Senior Welcome Week Frosh Leader, Acadia University

I was chosen as the Senior Frosh Leader for the largest residence on campus. This required a few intense days of training with seven other senior leaders followed by a week of training the approximately 125 welcome week leaders and Residence Assistants for the 2002-03 School year. Duties included training the frosh leaders; planning many activities for the freshman students, meeting parents, and making everyone feel welcome in their first week at University. In 2001, I was one of 10 frosh leaders who organized and carried out activities for first year students upon arriving at university in September.
