I attended my first class at SKS on 5.10.2010. I was so nervous because it's an unfamiliar surrounding for me. After being a student at NUS Ext since 2004, coming to a different environment was something that I, being an "S" , am not really comfortable with.
All students were gathered at the school hall at 7pm for a brief hello etc (Just like at Kyung Hee University's start of programme) by the teachers. There were like.....at least 200 students from Elementary to Advance level. Most of the students were young adults in their 20's.
My class consists of about perhaps 20 students. Apparently I was the only tranfer student in this class. Again, I am the only ajumma in the class of youngies. Here's what I think about my first day experience at SKS.
The programme is more focused on speech and listening vs reading and writing. The latter 2 are used as a tool to aid the former 2. I like the fact that everyone gets the chance to speak, and that at every lesson, students must take turns to practice free-talking for 1 min.
Lots of homework . Had to memorise like 30 vocabs by next lesson (which is tonight).
I am starting to wonder if my brain can process this much information in such a short period of time. But then again, I have committed myself to attending this programme , and am determined to complete my Korean Language Education till the end.
So, Fighting!
