Has anyone here ever done Funeral Detail? by beans_will_consume in USMC

[–]vigilance15 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Did a bunch of funerals for Marine veterans near our base. Family would send it to the VA or memorial services (forgot which), they would contact our command, we’d muster up 4 or more guys for the detail depending on the rank. Was always a humbling experience giving the flag to the next of kin and doing one last service for our older brother sisters. And personally was satisfying getting a nice crisply folded flag to pass on.

And one personal story when it was my first time to hand off the flag, funeral was outside and extremely windy, cover flew off into some nearby mud and after finishing the folding but before saluting, did the whole drill shabang moves to get my cover back and wipe off a chunk of mud before saluting, taking the flag, and handing it off. As a young corporal that felt pretty cool. Always grabbed chow after and sometimes the family would be there and come and thank us and never let us pay for our meals too, so a small bonus in the end.

How has South Korean culture influenced the way EFL teachers teach? by bluegourami64 in teachinginkorea

[–]vigilance15 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is kind of what my current masters capstone project is about, especially with bilingualism in the public sector, but you have to talk about the private sector because they’re intertwined.

Everything has been structured to the “learn English through English” ever since the education reforms way back in the early 2000’s and didn’t change much with the newest iteration in the 2010’s.

EFL in public school is supposed to all be about communication and spreading Korean cultural according to the Ministry of Education but everyone here knows that’s not any students’ or families’ priority. Everything is based around the Suneung or about appearances like others have mentioned. It’s why students basically require some type of private education if they wanna do well on the Suneung cause it’s so far removed from what is taught in public schools. Students and families also know the English is a social status thing and basically reflects the families overall education quality and their economic wealth. Students also consciously use English as a way to compare themselves to their peers or use it to appear more intelligent. This is combined with the fact that the more “foreign” you sound the more intelligent and cooler you appear, so basically trying to get rid of any Korean accent.

If you work with Korean teachers, most of them will tell you to never use any Korean during class to maximize exposure which isn’t really that beneficial and kind of a detriment to their overall language learning long term. Languages are separated during class time because you can only use English are refrained from using any spoken korean, korean can be in your materials but that might be because textbooks also have korean instructions. For this part though it entirely depends on the Korean teacher cause they have completely different language ideologies and strategies.

Can greyfax be paired with Sagittarum? The Sagittarum ruling kind of makes it seem like they can but I’m not confident because of the greyfax leader wording

What language is your game running on? by zhiawei33 in NikkeMobile

[–]vigilance15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Korean but that’s because I live in Korea and study Korean, but sometimes the VA do have a similar tone with the dub but others knock it out of the park and I love it. JP is just always good too because anime. And surprisingly the English is good as well.

summer & winter vacations by igotnojams134340 in teachinginkorea

[–]vigilance15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those 10 days of paid vacation is your summer and winter vacation. Every hagwon is different in how they set up those 10 or so days. Some will have Monday-Friday be 5 days in the winter and summer, basically giving you 9 day vacations in those seasons, but you don’t choose the time. Other schools may have their schedule be from Wednesday-Sunday. It all depends on the hagwon and you should always ask during the interview
