During my 30 months living in the Republic of Korea, I received a wonderful opportunity to teach English (reading, writing, speaking, comprehension) skills to several age groups, including Ajou University students, K-8 students in an after school program, and an adult group comprising of Ajou University faculty and staff. In addition to gaining much needed teaching experience, I received the gift of gaining international experience and the wisdom of being a global citizen.
