06/04/13: The ESL class started this morning at 8:00 AM with the group of Korean students. Harris Memorial College Dean provided a syllabus focusing on English Grammar including Conversation. The Korean students know English at various levels & are smart, but need more practice. The group of students consist of 10 elementary students + one
8th grader. "John", the 8th grader & 15 years old, is my student. He is extremely shy, tall, & speaks softly. John plays classical Violin + Piano. I located a
Piano in one of the conference rooms in the College, & at my request he played a classic
composition that was beautiful. The acronym "O...M...G..." is the only thing that came to mind. This young man is talented. His family moved here 3 months ago from S. Korea, and both parents are missionaries. John is taking his time to adjust. He bowed with respect to me as he left class today. I am so pleased to have such a smart student. I am hopeful that I can motivate him to become more comfortable in the next day or 2. I will introduce him to the young male student attending school at Harris for pre-Seminary studies. He too is very shy. I will incorporate this as part of our Conversation practice activities on Wed.
