Yun Jung CP #6

Date/Time: October 19th, 2018, 10:00 a.m.

Location: CIES Building

Topic/Skill: Future plans 

We talked about our future career because we almost completed our TEFL class.

I think Meghan is talented in education, especially in pronunciation which should be very clear for students to understand. I was impressed that she is taking gradual steps which is very focused in her future goal.

This could be limited in my generation; Our generation in Korea studied hard from middle school to high school to get into a high ranked university and felt like escaping from studying in college because we were stressed out from tremendous study until high school. In America, college students seem to study the most.

We talked about a little discrepancy between our major and current pursuit in English education. I feel I need to try not to forget my Japanese skills as well even though I'm eager to be an English expert. That's because 'Use it, or lose it' seems very real in language.
Meghan is majoring Chinese and theater. But she loves learning languages and believe even theater can help teaching. She plans to maintain her Chinese skills with effort and has started learning Korean.
I also hope any knowledge and skills in myself can work practically and valuably.
