Trip to a Korean University Mecca - MT Training


Many of my current freshmen EFL students attended a campout in the mountains bordering Kangwon and Gyunggi Provinces. We had excellent weather and the schools were out in full-force, most minbaks and yeogwons that host the MT (membership training) were booked solid for this weekend. It was another ice-breaker with students, and there was time for introductions of student administration and our professorial staff made short mentions and bowed out for much of the night. The festivities were exciting, students who normally have 0 energy in my classes, were running at maximum potential to get blitzed in the Korean drinking games. It was safe, secure, and the students were responsible while being unsupervised. They cooked fantastic food, including the pork, Sam-gap-sal...loads of it, and other dished were shared and prepared throughout the course of the evening. Finally, Prof. Lee and Prof. Robert and Alex and I stepped out, while students went on their prowling until reportedly 4am. Good for them, I was glad to get back to the motel for some sleep!!!
