My school life's photos

My co-teacher Jane called her friend through Skype when we taught about the expressions of talking on the phone, and my students were very excieted.

My school held English Speaking Contest last winter.
One boy wearing Korean traditional cloth  introduced cultural diversity.

My happy photos

My daughter likes to make a snowman and
ride on a sled.
My family made a huge snowpig and a small snowcat when we had a trip in Jeju iland last winter.
The snowanimals were happy because they were not cold (our scarfs.....),but my family were freezing.

It's a new world!

I am not technophile because sometimes it makes me be frustrated .So I am struggling to figure out given work. Even though CALL is challenging to me, after figuring out my works successfully, I feel achievement and I think that how I can apply these to my students. I know that I have to be good at dealing these programs previously. Now I made my works successfully and this is my beginning of new world.

Thoughts about using computer based activity

These days,  It's very  difficult to say about  teaching English without computer. Computers  are used for various way to teach and learn English(including other subjects). The reason why is that it supplies very convenient  environment for teaching materials effectively  and it motivated students to learn something easily.
This point is important point using computer in school or in home. I recognize that I need qualified information for teaching and learning English about using computer because there are too many information unqualified  in the internet. I have good chance to get very qualified useful information through CALL class.

My challenges of pronunciation(1)

     When I pronounce  these words, I felt uncomfortable. : photographs (not attractive pronunciation) , warm (It was hard to "r" for pronunciation), far (I didn't know how i make my shape of lips ), sheet ("worksheet " is also difficult) , though- dough , very- berry, (I can't pronounce those pair words differently),   bone- born("r" sound is difficult to pronounce before consonant "n").
     My goal of pronunciation is pronouncing like native speakers. I know that it might(would?) not possible because Korean and English has different phonetic foundation. Even though it is impossible, more important thing is process to try  to pronounce closed pronunciation.  Jeff guided' Rachelsenglish.com' for practice , so I will practice through that site. I also think that practice of  natural 'intonation ' is needed , so I will try to listen as possible as I can with using AFKN.

Reflections on my first week of TTP

      It was the best exciting experience since I had graduated from my university. I felt me like freshman in this university. I was very happy ( I am still now) because I can learn English with my classmates. Some trainers look very serious ans strict and some trainers look very kind. Many trainers noticed us to give big effort for TTP.
      My strategy for TTP is enjoying learning English because this course was my choice and this chance to learn to English is not given to everyone. I am very thankful to my parents,  my husband and my kids who always support me. What a wonderful world !  It couldn't be better !!
