Updating on Korean-World - Korean context

It's been a long time since this blog received a personal ESL teaching update. Life context is South Korea, I'm an Expat living/working/cycling/loving my family here & a lot of time has passed by without direct links to my family in Canada. It's very easy to expatriate to gain momentum into ESL teaching, but it is very difficult to leave all the schedules, contract commitments, and many obligations that go along with supporting a career in teaching and developing and adjusting a portfolio of experience that is transferable to other academic settings. Focused on educating all levels of learners (kindergarten through university and adult students too!) is no small task when it is compounded for years without a break.

During the past 3.3 years in South Korea, I have taught 35 months of adult English language courses, 11 months of university credit courses, 39 months of elementary and middle school courses, and finally 12 months of kindergarten transitioning to elementary language courses. Indeed, it's been a lot of work here in Korea!! ^_^...

The good news is: teaching is like guiding; learning is like changing; understanding is like uncovering; and rewarding is like experience you'll never regret. So, I can definitely say without a doubt, I am glad I can make a difference in the world through education & I hope to keep learning in the process to keep changing with the flow of my school of fish to explore the world in/outside of the classroom to keep exceeding the challenges in ESL teaching.

Next stop, the bicycle. That's the most important aspect of healthy living in Korea, keep a balance on two...and you will enjoy the freedom of the road & take that energy back into teaching, it's transferring positive energy from one source to another to make it positive all over! If your reading this post...please remember to feed my fish (click your mouse, share some nibbles...^^)

THE TRAGICALLY HIP :: CANADA ROCK

The Tragically Hip is a Canadian Rock group that originated in 1983 in Kingston, Ontario, Canada and have over the years accumulated many accolades from Canadian music lovers. This original music group has been recognized for its innovative, spirited, roots rock from Canada performing on many stages across the country. I first saw their live performance at a free concert held at the University of Western Ontario in 1991, (the same year the band received the Canadian Entertainer of the Year Award) following the release of their third album, Road Apples.

Having never previously heard of the group (1991), I received a short notice invitation from a few friends (about 8 of us in 1 car) to drive up to London, Ontario and see them live! Without regrets, they were/are one of the most successful and influential bands that performed songs that many Canadians can relate to and identify with as a distinctively Canadian Rock. They are Fantastic live and amazing on so many albums they have continued to produce until the present. If your interested, listen in to more of their music over here. Here's a few of their earlier albums to sample, enjoy the music & keep living life ^_^!

Antony Jinman, Polar Explorer (UK) Education Through Expeditions

There is so much going on in the exploration world (and in Korean-World!), I forgot to post about Antony Jinman, Polar Explorer, Adventurer, Daredevil, Good Will Guy of Plymouth, England. Antony is taking his exploration experiences to the classroom and is launching his foundation, Education Through Expedition (ETE) in collaboration with the University of Plymouth continuing scientific studies of the North Pole on his upcoming 2010 Expedition.

Antony Jinman drives an innovative way of bringing arctic exploration into the classroom, involving students inquiry (and mine) while he is out in his element, -50 degrees across Baffin Island's tundra high above the Arctic Circle pulling his sled with supplies and survival in mind, while surveying climate changes and visiting Inuit communities across the great divides.

Antony's outreach has gained recognition from the BBC, The Royal Geographical Society (RGS), and United Nations on documenting climate changes impacting geographical features of the arctic (massive glacial melting and permafrost thaws) which impacts the Inuit's communities and is rapidly changing their long developed, sustainable way of life and living. Much more information can be found on his website here.

Antony updates on his website:

"In February 2010, I will embark on my greatest expedition to date: to ski to the Geographic North Pole and be one of the few Britons ever to have done so. In so doing, and in collaboration with Plymouth University, I will collect vital data which will be used in climatic modeling research."

Let's take moment and discover more about his upcoming mission to the Pole...
