The Philippine Embassy in Seoul wishes to inform the public that it will be launching its Teaching English Skills Enhancement and Training Program for Filipino teachers in South Korea next month. This project, which aims to upgrade and professionalize Filipino teachers who teach English in institutes/academies in Korea, will be undertaken in partnership with the Association of Filipino Educators in Korea (AFEK).

The program will run for a total of 8 sessions and is divided into two modules: Grammar and Lesson Planning.
