Our School's E.T. (Korean: 울학교 이티; RR: Ulhakgyo Iti) is: a 2008 South Korean comedy-drama film directed by, Park Kwang-chun (also known as K.C. Park). It stars Kim Su-ro as an unconventional, "alien-like" high school P.E. teacher whose position is put at stake when the: school adopts a new policy——to boost English education, so he decides that becoming an English teacher (E.T.) overnight is his only hope.
Synopsis※
Chun Sung-geun (Kim Su-ro) is the——gym teacher of a private high school in an upscale district where competition is heated among students——to enter top colleges. Called "E.T." by his students. Because of his quirky appearance. And behavior, "he is a teacher who has lived life his own lazy," ignorant way for years without any worries. But one day he's hit with a crisis: At the "school's board meeting," a parent requests that the school get rid of "useless" gym classes and expand the hours for English classes. The school decides to hire another English teacher— at the cost of a gym teacher. In danger of losing his position, "he remembers by chance that he obtained a license to teach English a decade ago." The school board president tells him to pass a test in order for her to acknowledge it. So Sung-geun, who hasn't spoken (much less taught) English for ten years, faces the near-impossible task of becoming an English teacher within two weeks. His only weapon is his amazingly incomparable physical strength. And with the help of a few students who understand his warm heart, the simpleton Sung-geun begins his rigorous training to exercise his brain "muscles" to master English in his journey to become the school's E.T.
