Earlier this month, there was the KOTESOL International Conference. So rather than more classroom time with workshops, we decided to head outdoors and get a feel for our new home base: Jeonbuk National University.
It was a really great day!
We look forward to welcoming many participants for our first workshop here on June 7th.

🌟 What an incredible workshop! 🌟

The Jeonju-North Jeolla KOTESOL Workshop: "Beyond Words – Teaching English Through Music and Culture" was a truly inspiring event!

🎶 Dr. Natalie Thibault showed us how to move beyond traditional fill-in-the-gap exercises, using pop music to spark meaningful conversations, critical thinking, and creativity in ESL classrooms.

♀️ Aida Ulukbekova, Maria Vasquez, and Liliana Tintin led a powerful session on International Women’s Day, exploring global traditions and sharing innovative ways to bring gender equality and women's achievements into our lessons.

💡 The discussions were insightful, the energy was amazing, and the connections we made were invaluable. Whether you're a seasoned educator or just starting, this event reminded us of the power of culture and music in language learning.

A huge thank you to all the speakers, organizers, and participants who made this workshop such a success! Let’s keep the inspiration going in our classrooms!
