Download or read book Teaching English in Korean Public Schools written by S. P. Lee and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a practical guide to the teaching of English as a Foreign Language in (Korean, specifically, but the contents would be appropriate to other countries') public schools. Teaching in public schools is a growing specialization within the TESOL profession. It requires a blend of skillsets, combining the need for effective TEFL techniques with the responsibilities of a traditional classroom teacher, such as classroom and behavior management, and administrative and other paperwork. This book covers four main content areas: (1) an introduction and background to teaching in public schools, including how to approach this unique role; (2) contextually appropriate teaching and learning activities; (3) suitable classroom and behavior management strategies; and (4) guidance in the administrative and organizational aspects of being a school teacher, such as recordkeeping, reporting, and designing curricula. The book was written as a teacher development handbook offering specific, practical, and actionable advice to teachers who may or may not have a background in TESOL or education. It was designed as a pre-service manual which can be re-visited as specific needs arise. It will help the reader create and deliver suitable, engaging lessons to his or her students; handle or prevent behavioral or classroom management issues constructively and positively; and complete official paperwork in a professional way that benefits students, coworkers, administrators, and other vested parties.Many publications exist dealing with certain aspects of this new profession, such as cultural and linguistic awareness, methodology, or curricula and materials design, but few provide direction in all the skills needed to be successful in the role, which, as stated, is a hybrid of a Teacher of English as a Foreign Language and a traditional school teacher. Many existing publications have been written for teachers working in commercial institutes or teaching small classes (often of adult learners). This book is for the qualified or non-qualified teacher who has school-specific professional and educational responsibilities – many of which fall outside of the most common TESOL remits.

Download or read book English for Academic Research A Guide for Teachers written by Adrian Wallwork and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-19 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific English is possibly the most rewarding area of EFL teaching. It differs from English for Academic Purposes (EAP) as it is directed to a much smaller audience: PhD and postdoc students. Courses on Scientific English are held in universities throughout the world, yet there is very little support for teachers in understanding what to teach andhow to teach it. This guide is part of the English for Academic Research series. Part 1 of the book sheds light on the world of academia, the writing of research papers, and the role of journal editors and reviewers. Part 2 gives practical suggestions on how to help your students improve their presentation skills. In Part 3 you will learn how to teach academic skills using nonacademic examples. Parts 1-3 are thus useful for anyone involved in teaching academic English, whether they have used the other books in the series or not. Part 4 suggests two syllabuses for teaching writing and presenting skills, based on the two core books: English for Writing Research Papers English for Presentations at International Conferences This book will help you i) understand the world of your students (i.e. academic research),ii) plan courses, and iii) exploit the What's the Buzz? sections in the books on Writing, Presentations, Correspondence and Interacting on Campus. Adrian Wallwork has written over 30 books covering General English (Cambridge University Press, Scholastic), Business English (Oxford University Press), and Scientific English (Springer). He has trained several thousand PhD students from all over the world to write and present their research. Adrian also runs a scientific editing service: English forAcademics (E4AC).
Download or read book Teacher Agency written by Mark Priestley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-22 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent worldwide education policy has reinvented teachers as agents of change and professional developers of the school curriculum. Academic literature has analyzed changes in how teacher professionalism is conceived in policy and in practice but Teacher Agency provides a fresh perspective on this issue, drawing upon an ecological theory of agency. Using this model for understanding agency, Mark Priestley, Gert Biesta and Sarah Robinson explore empirical findings from the 'Teacher Agency and Curriculum Change' project, funded by the UK-based Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). Drawing together this research with the authors' international experiences and perspectives, Teacher Agency addresses theoretical and practical issues of international significance. The authors illustrate how teacher agency should be understood not only in terms of individual capacity of teachers, but also in respect of the cultures and structures of schooling.

Download or read book Producing Fluent English Speakers written by Bora Jin and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1990s, the Korean government has invested heavily in extending the teaching of English in the public school system under its wider Sae-gae-hwa (internationalisation) policy. This has been in recognition of the global spread of English as a language for international communications in today's interconnected neoliberal globalised world. The programme of recruiting native English speaking teachers to teach in South Korean public schools was established in 1995 with the English Programme in Korea (EPIK) and was further endorsed in 2008 with the introduction of the rural elementary school programme Teach and Learn in Korea (TaLK). These programmes were intended to foster communicative competence in English of students and teachers in Korea. Recently there has been a series of announcements by various provincial offices of education on their plans to reduce their investment in the schemes following reports of programme inefficiency in significantly developing communicative ability in Korean students. Also, tensions relating to the implementation of the policy have raised questions about the extent to which the programmes may be meeting the aspirations of the Korean government. This study has investigated the government's objectives in recruiting native English speaking teachers into the public education system and has considered the extent to which those objectives are being achieved. From an analysis of relevant bodies of literature and policy documents from Korea, the EPIK and TaLK programmes have been located as products of global, national and local demands, within neoliberal globalisation, for functionally fluent English speakers. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten native English speaking teachers and six Korean teachers of English to explore how the discourses embedded in the policy documents that have directly influenced the teaching of English in the public education system of Korea have been understood and experienced by teachers directly involved with the initiatives. The study concludes that the placement of native English speaking teachers in Korean schools has been helpful in exposing students to authentic English, in increasing their motivation to learn English and in enhancing equality of opportunity across rural and urban areas of Korea. However, this is far from realising the objectives of the government policy. Problems with the administration of the programme and lack of quality teachers, along with a degree of ambivalence in the relationships between the native speaking and Korean teachers of English were identified as areas of tension.
Download or read book EPIK EXPECTATIONS written by Amanda Kay Ark and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In its efforts to become a globally recognized country and to increase its human capital, South Korea created the English Program in Korea, or EPIK program, in 1995 to bring Western, English-speaking people to the country to teach English as a foreign language in Korean public schools (Chang, 2018, EPIK, 2013). However well-intentioned this program may have been, these teachers often have very little understanding of Korean language, culture, or customs (Shin & Kellogg, 2007). They are hired by the EPIK program under the pretense that they do not need such knowledge and supports will be provided in country (Herbert & Wu, 2009, Jeon, 2010, EPIK 2013). With very little training, EPIK teachers are expected to not only teach and work in a new country and culture, but also live successfully in that culture. This study set out to explore what experiences and aspects of culture may impact EPIK teachers as they seek to adjust to Korean schools and life, or their acculturation and self-efficacy. A Hermeneutic phenomenological study was created using 60 to 120-minute in-depth interviews with nine, female EPIK teachers living in the same city. Results of interviews were supported and triangulated with two self-reporting scales, an acculturation scale and a teaching self-efficacy scale. Results showed that participants identified community as one of the most important aspects of their experience in Korea and related building strong community with their schools and co-teachers as what most helped them to adjust to living and teaching in South Korea. Other aspects identified as having a strong influence were placement on the hierarchy and power distance within schools, classroom discipline, and adjusting to small life differences. This study strongly recommends that the EPIK program needs to create more stable policies for what is expected of its Western teachers, formalize what supports they will have in and outside of schools, and also standardize the co-teacher selection process to ensure better training for selected schools. These changes will create more successful infrastructure for the EPIK program to be able to best serve the students, Korean teachers, and Western teachers it hires.
Download or read book Children Dying Inside written by J. M. Beach and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-08-25 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes education in South Korea. It presents a brief history of Korea and East Asian education. It also explores the dynamic relationship between the public and private spheres of education in South Korea. A case study of Korean English Preparatory Academy (KEPA) is used to examine the financial, social, and psychological costs of education in South Korea, as well as analyze one particular private academy that is profiting off of "education fever," which is a phrase that labels Korean's obsession with education and social status. Education is big business in South Korea, but whose interest does education serve: society, individuals, or private corporations? Ultimately, I conclude that education in South Korea is driven by a cultural preoccupation with social status and class, as well as by free-market capitalists seeking profit, and only marginally with the private economic returns of a post-secondary degree, let alone the holistic development of the individual. Education in South Korea is not about skill based learning nor is it about individual student development, and to that extent, I examine in the conclusion whether the Korean system of education is just, and whether is should be a model for the rest of the world to follow.
