It took me at least five times as long as normal as I had to deal with "unresponsive page" popups popping up all the damn time. It's also nearly impossible to scroll down to read/view your comments due to some other gremlin in the Chrome system. Luckily, I know a few remedies, but it still sucks the big hairy one when trying to access your site at this time via Chrome.John from Daejeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08431973044799010218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-70722538132311147542014-01-23T22:56:27.231+09:002014-01-23T22:56:27.231+09:00Finally—one response!

Their main problem was needing to use websites outside of South Korea in which to learn advanced medical research and techniques and to help do their own medical research. Of course, most of that medical material is rendered in English, and not Korean, on the Internet. <br /><br />They also needed to practice speaking English before a large, international audience while attending medical seminars in other countries around the world.<br /><br />After I showed them how to use certain English scholarly websites in which to access their pertinent medical information and that Daejeon has several great Toastmasters clubs. I realized that I taught, and talked, myself out of a really great job.<br /><br />Take a look at the Toastmasters website. You might glean something useful from it. There are also other business websites that they might find useful. Forbes may not be very useful if your students will be working in the U.K. or South Africa. Show them how to use the Internet to navigate to useful English resources that they may need not only for the business world of the region they are interested in but also for their necessary survival in the mundane affairs of day-to-day life if one plans on living in that region. The South Korean Internet portals may answer many questions about life in the U.S., but they may be lacking when it comes to those of Ireland and South Africa.John from Daejeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08431973044799010218noreply@blogger.com
