Hey, I really need to side with Larrie on this. Think of the disservice to the students. Many of them are paying thousands of dollars per year for English language instruction and getting nothing but conversation from an inexperienced teacher. These students could simply turn on, and listen to, any show in English and receive basically the same education. In addition, these inexperienced teachers do not usually correct student mistakes, which perpetuates bad habits already in place for many years, especially when it comes to pronunciation. As the students become more sophisticated their needs will change, and the schools will need to change to meet those needs. Enjoy your experience teaching while you can, but realize things are changing.
