Technology Trickle
I was thinking about how technology moves about in the field of education today. I realized that this aspect or our profession is constantly developing. As generations move up in age and level of education, they take with them the "old" technology. However, the newest technologies are not being experienced by our youngest students.

I thought I'd start there. I'd love to get a global picture in my mind of what's possible and then decide which pieces to take on.
ive only been around 4 days on here ! * -(
It would be on the speech dialect of Native teachers in SKOREA in terms of usa/canadian versus uk/other countries background/dialect and speech in the English clasroom
1 Do different backgrounds and teaching /sound input for the learner influence the classroom environment... 2 Is this the same at different levels AND schools
hagwon v public school... eg from teaching basic engish word structure in South America >> to high level post High school/ Uni students
2 Do teachers ( Korean) find certain teachers speech easier/ or more accomodating for them?
How do they work with the Foreign teacher if there are any significant issues...
What is the affect, if any of various teachers speech and or background??
3 What learning methods can be put into place to ensure students develop ..? within the English classroom
what are your thoughts.
Thanks
James
