“I want to continue to develop and become a good teacher. And I want to be a good daughter-in-law to my in-laws, as well as a good daughter to my family, and most importantly, I want to be a great wife to my great husband.” Eden Brower, an American woman in her first year of marriage. She met her Korean husband Yong, who was studying abroad in the U.S., at university and fell in love. After marrying Yong, Eden began working as an English teacher at a private academy at the recommendation of her husband, who was an English teacher at the academy. Eden, who is usually quiet, used to have a hard time standing in front of her children, but now she loves teaching so much that she makes her own teaching materials. Eden is exhausted in the evening after teaching English without rest. Whenever that happens, her husband and mother-in-law who always welcome her warmly give her strength. While eating dinner that her mother-in-law lovingly prepared for her daughter-in-law who worked late, Eden confides in her husband about her difficult day. Now in her first year of living in Korea, she is not used to Korean culture, so there are times when it is difficult, but she continues to work hard to become a better daughter-in-law and wife to her family who care for her, and a better teacher to her students. ▶ A day in the life of blue-eyed teacher Eden It has been a year since she started working as an English teacher. Eden has improved her Korean a lot, and she has developed her own teaching method, so she is quite good at teaching. However, she still has a hard time teaching with mischievous elementary school students. Eden is having a hard time getting the children, who are unusually distracted, to quiet down. She tries to use her own secret method, but the noisy children end up arguing... Eden ends up sending the children out of the classroom. If this had happened a year ago, she would have been flustered and not knowing what to do, but now she has learned how to handle the children with her own principles. Eden, an English teacher who teaches children, believes that she has grown through them. Her wish is to become a better teacher and give wings to the children. ▶ Neat husband VS easy-going wife Eden takes a shower before going to work, feeling refreshed. However, Mr. Yong, who has a neat personality, cannot tolerate Ms. Eden's hair that falls on the bathroom floor. Feeling sorry, he tries to use the smile strategy, but his husband's reaction is not very good. The two, who have lived in completely different cultures, Korea and the United States, for over 20 years, sometimes have conflicts over trivial things like cleaning the bathroom. However, these fights are only a process of accepting each other's cultures, and the love between the Eden couple becomes stronger. ▶ Ms. Eden's special teaching materials Ms. Eden is an English teacher who teaches using various teaching materials she created herself. In particular, the games she suggests to children who have difficulty with English are always very popular. During a short break between classes, Ms. Eden is busy creating new teaching materials. She says it is a game that children can memorize words in a fun way... It is a game that uses 'this' that every Korean has played at least once... Let's take a look at Ms. Eden's fun class. #EBS #Algorithm #MulticulturalHumanDocumentaryFamily #Multicultural #Foreigner #Korea #America #Family #InternationalCouple #Wife #Husband #Marriage #Mother-in-Law #Daughter-in-Law #Teacher #EnglishInstructor ????Broadcast Information ????Program Name: Multicultural Human Documentary Family - Blue-Eyed English Teacher Eden ????Broadcast Date: June 7, 2013
