Speaking fluently requires tons of practice. 2- Explore his MIs (Multiple Intelligences). It might be easier for him to speak more if he is engaged in activities that make him feel successful and relaxed. 3- Expose him to a lot of vocabulary that children his age would like/need to use. 4- Use prompts. Just engaging in conversation might be hard depeding on his cognitive level and knowledge of the American culture. A cartoon, a tv show, or a song are good sources of speaking material. 5- Ask him if he would like to record himself speaking English and listen back. You could do tons of error correction exercises. He can pretend to be a radio host or something like that. 6- Use puppets. You would not believe what they can do for shy children! 7- Whenever possible draw from his Korean heritage. Encourage him to share his cultural background and his stories from back home. 8- Use multicultural stories. There is a very nice website, i cant recall the name right now but it is something like asiankids.com and/or cultureforkids.com 9- Once again. Be patient. 10- In general, make it FUN. Question and answer sessions are way too boring. Hope this helps! kulturelingual.blogspot.com<a href="http://www.prohomeschool.com/driver-homeschool-training.htm"> anatris</a> Some tips:

You're brilliant. You should be able to figure it out. Teach him more basic things first, the work your way up to grammar and stuff to make him talk fluently.
