Hal And Steve English Podcast
Welcome to the best Teaching ESL Abroad podcast... EVER! At least, that's what we're going to tell everyone in hopes that they'll give us a listen.
We're two dudes, Hal and Steve, who chat about the practical parts of teaching esl in a foreign country. What do you do with super spoiled kids? How do you avoid the super boring after school outings? How do you avoid drinking 1 on 1 with Principal Kim because you'll wake up with the worst hangover if you do?
These are the questions! We try to answer them!

Running an English Academy (a hagwon as it's known in South Korea) is super stressful.
You're a foreigner, in a foreign land, with a government that probably doesn't have the most scrupulous legal track record, and you've gotta somehow convince the locals that you teach English really well.
Not only that, you've got to convince them that you can teach English better than the locals, even though they've been trained to be distrustful of everyone from outside their community.
Yeah.... it's pretty tough.
And when you DO open up your academy, the local competitors are going to have their ears on the ground for a way to undermine you. And any one you upset will put you dead in their crosshairs.
It's kinda rough. And Aaron R. takes us through it.

How did you know you wanted to teach abroad?
We talked about that and more with an awesome and experienced ESL teacher and writer, Jennifer Helfand. She has had a myriad of teaching experiences around the world, and now travels freely around the world teaching online classes and focusing on her work as a writer. She also had some absolutely incredible experiences to share on her volunteer work in refugee camps.

What's better? Teaching ESL in South Korea or in America?
We talked to an awesome ESL teacher with experience in both. Megan Kelly spent a few years teaching in a competitive English Kinergarten Academy in South Korea and also at an International School in the heart of Seoul. She left all of that behind to get her wings as an ESL teacher in the United States.
She tells us the pros and cons of both! Check it out.

Welcome back to the Hal and Steve English podcast.
Kat Sten. She's a really awesome Hagwon/Academy owner in Mokpo, South Korea. Before her journey into the expat ESL teacher life, she was a member of Target's corporate staff. Why she quit that job, how she ended up living in East Asia, and where did this idea of opening an English academy come from? Well... she answers those questions while sharing a ton of golden wisdom nuggets.

Welcome back to the Hal and Steve English podcast.
This week we talked to Aaron R. He's been an eSL teacher in South Korea since 2008 and he's taken a really unique journey. He was first brought here as a debate teacher, but after his hagwon suddenly closed, he sought out work as an English teacher. He worked in Seoul and the Southern cities of Korea until opening up his own academy.

The world can feel a bit limited when you're an ESL teacher. As an employee, your income ranges from 'Barely Able To Payoff Student Debt' to 'Barely Able to Payoff Student Debt and Go Out Once A Week".
Since most of us are foreigners in the countries we currently call home, the ladder to success can feel like it's got a few rungs missing.
But, that's not exactly true. You've just gotta pay attention to the teachers who came before you, and see how they navigated success.
Find out how on this week's podcast.

What do you do when an ESL student is too shy to speak in class? What can you do to break them out of their shell? We dive into that topic, and more, in this episode of the Hal And Steve English podcast. We also come to terms with the different concepts of peer criticism and what that does to students' self-esteem, especially in countries like South Korea where what others' think is the most important part of your life.

Welcome back to another awesome episode of our podcast. This week, we're talking about Class Killers. You know, the kids who are so bad in class, either through breaking classroom rules or not participating, that they destroy your ESL class. We've got some awesome tips on how to handle these kids, mostly based on our kids in South Korea (Yeoncheon, Dongducheon, Yangju, Uijeongbu, and Seoul), but this applies to all!

Welcome back to the podcast. We decided to take it easy this week and just chat. It's the tail end of summer and the weather's heating up, the kids are out of school, and the busy 'sool roads', aka the bar part of town, are busy with university kids returning home. It's a pretty great time to get out and about, and a good chance to chat about some of the more casual aspects of teaching as an expat in Korea.

Adult ESL students are tricky. Their needs range from practicing English as a hobby, to studying ESL for university entrance exams, all the way to ESL for business.
Basically, adult English students have a ton of different goals. And they're a really diverse type.
But you've got to be careful. Unlike children ESL students, adult ESL students aren't forced to study in your class. If you're a public school or academy teacher, kids are mandated by the government (or their mothers) to attend your class. And you can easily win them over with simple games (like an ESL Bingo Game which we made for FREE!!! or ESL Mafia Game which we also made for free).
That's not the case with adults.

Steve regrets his first year teaching ESL in the Korean countryside. He had the perfect ESL life but he didn't even know it! Small classes, beautiful school, awesome co-workers, a communal garden, and enough free time to write all the lessons his little heart could ever want.
But... he was too hung up on culture shock and what he expected to appreciate it. Check it out!

Nothing can ruin your day like hearing complaints from your students. But can I let you in on a little secret.... Don't listen to them! When it comes to adult esl students, you're dealing with a lot of complex baggage that gets dragged into the classroom.
Don't let it drag you down!

In this episode, Hal & Steve take a look at the hardest parts of teaching ESL - in this case South Korea. For instance, how is the concept of teaching different from the U.S. in South Korea? You'd be suprised how incredibly different it is! We also try to follow up identifying the problem by offering up some different solutions. Happy New Year!!!!
