Hello,

I have been teaching Latin-American ESL students, and I would like to try teaching Koreans also. What is different? What challenges should I expect?

What letters do Korean students have trouble pronouncing?

Are many Koreans "false beginnners" of English (do they have significant pre-exposure to English)?

What grammar do they have problems with because of their first language? Syntax? Tenses?

Do they do their homework assignments?

How do you approach literacy? Is it very challenging for Korean students?

What should I be aware of culturally? Is an American woman at risk of offending them?

What problems have you faced? How did you resolve them?
