This guest editorial in the Korea Times is in a similar vein to our earlier post about unqualified teachers looking to work overseas. Sample quote:

It is the Korean parents' crazy obsession with English that drives up the cram school fees; it is their obsession that creates such trouble for the government's education branch to rationally allocate their already-strained budget; and, finally, it is their obsession that leads Korea to be looked-down-upon as a Plan B by those "native English speakers" who miserably fail in their own lives. The parents with such wrong attitudes are to be blamed for the pandemic.

In addition to contributing our materials to various TEFL sites to aid their members/teachers, English Toolbox's staff have also written the script and supplementary materials for the latest Business English Pod podcast. It's called Telephoning: Handling Sales Calls. You can listen free on this page, or become a subscriber to their service to download both the podcast and the associated training worksheets.
