안녕하세요!
If you're teaching English in Korea, I stronly suggest studying the Korean language. It was difficult for me, but very rewarding. Studying Korean has helped me understand my students perspective as they try to learn English. Many basic learning principles which apply to learning Korean, also apply to learning English, so learning Korean has made me a better English teacher too.
Much like teaching resources, there is an abundance of material. Three free ones I've found are:

This blog, created by a Native Korean speaker, Luke Park, is better than most Korean books which you'd buy in the store. He expertly explains the nuances of Korean Grammar in a way which Native Engish speakers can easily understand.

This is a show called "Let's Speak Korean" which was aired on TV a while back. The above link is only to the first episode of the show, but there are literally hundreds of episodes which you can easily find on the youtubes. I made a habbit of watching this show and making flash cards out of all the phrases which would show on the bottom of the screen. It helped me a lot.

Really nice layout, lots of great material. If you've never even seen the Korean alphabet before, there's a tutorial to get you on your way. If you're more advanced and you want to learn how to chit chat in Korean, there are some great (and long) friend-to-friend dialogues with scripts included too.
