The Woes of a Filipino English Teacher by Thess Manangan (Pusan, South Kore
2008-01-28 04:07:00 Are native speaking English teachers better qualified to teach English than non-native speaking English teachers? Since living in Korea for more than six years, I have asked myself this question countless times. Non-native speakers of English, especially non-white Asians, face a difficult task finding quality teaching positions. Being Filipino, I have faced many closed doors when looking for teaching posts. It is not easy because Koreans hold certain perceptions of what foreign English teachers should look and sound like. If you don’t fit their perception, then you are simply “not qualified” to teach English. I came to Korea in 1993 to be with my Korean husband whom I tutored at the University of the Philippines. After settling down in Pusan, I decided that I wanted to start teaching again. At first, I started tutoring study groups at my husband’s university campus until a more challenging position was offered to me at an institute. I remember the excitement ...

2007-04-19 22:16:00 Marlins outfielder Jose Campusano landed on the disabled list today, retroactive to April 18. One of the more exciting players in the organization, the converted infielder just started playing left field a year ago. A 70 runner (on the 20-80 scouting scale), Campusano was hitting .290/.290/.355 with four steals over his first 11 games this season at Double-A Carolina. He hasn’t controlled the strike zone very well, with 10 strikeouts and no walks in 31 at-bats. “He?s the Louie Castillo type, but faster,” Marlins hitting coordinator John Mallee said. “He slaps the ball, he puts it in play?he doesn?t put many balls in the air. “He does strike out too much, which he?s getting better at controlling the zone. But if he puts it in play, it?s over, man. He can bunt and as a hitter?he knows his role . . . he?s stays on top of the ball and tries to play a little man?s game. (He’s got a) plus arm . . . speed doesn?t show up yet, but once he gets it, he can ...
