Monday July 14
We all returned to our bases safe from the 3-day-2-night Sydney trip from July 12th to 14th.
We enjoyed it so much in Sydney that we really wanted to stay longer, even one day longer!
At the first day, we went to Blue Mountain. It looks magnificent and has formed through 650,000,000 years.we cried out and laughed out loud riding in the cable car and steepest train. At the second day, we saw wild dolphines in the cruise and then at night, went to Opera House. It was so beautiful that we walked around it all night and took hundreds of photos.At the last day, we could eat one of the most romantic and delicious lunch in the Sydney Majestic Cruise, appreciating the beauty of the city. We now realised why Sydney is called the third most beautiful port in the world.
It is the unforgettable trip for all of us!

Saturday July 5
So exhausted, writing just a few words. Class 2 have been to springbrook rainforest which is among world natural heritages. The Unforgettable journey , I'm sure.
1. In a rainforest, thousands of big tree are now dying, at the same time, strangling vines are now prospering.
2. The gum tree pills off its barks by itself every year.
3. Gallary walk is way better than we expected. We bought wonderful souvernirs: boomerang, magnets, miniatures.
4. Baramundi is really delicious.

VICKI is one of the most attractive teachers in this ICTE. She has been conducting the choir of ICTE. And in this afternoon they had a performance in the Queen street mall and made it wonderfully. In the first class she taught us how to improve English pronunciation through singing songs: halleluiah and keep hanging on. She looked very passionate and lovely. I could get a big positive energy from her.

The first cultural shock was that Joshua,the twenty year old son of homestay family's, cooked Vietnamese rice roll at dinner and it was really delicious. His mom, Shidan, told us it was his turn to cook dinner and we obey Joshua, master chef's instructions. He was kind and good at cook. How kind, considerate and independent he looks!

Journal 20 :Too Much English Disorder
We finally come to show a few symptoms of TMED (Too Much English Disorder).
A first symptom came to Kim and me last Friday. When Karen said " ..not thurgy ..", we felt a little ashamed because we didn't figure out what English word "thurgy" was. We wispered to Karen, " What does 'thrugy' mean, Karen?" Not understanding what our question was, she asked us back again. " thurgy? What is it?" Then Kim and I realised that we had a slight symptom of Too Much English disorder. It was "낯설지.. that Karen said in Korean at that time." What a nonsense , Kim and Park(me)!
The second absurd error happened when Karen misunderstood a few words in Noel's class today. While we were doing small talk with him at the beginning, he said " .... bought a car...." Karen heard them as 'vodca' Russian liquor and responded in an awkward way. We were all laughing heartily and the great actor Noel made fun of her, gibberishing as if drunken.
The third symptom was a happening in Brad's class. When Brad said to Jumi, " Jumi un-nee", I and the other classmates couldn't believe our ears because Brad was not such a teacher who would say the cutesy Korean words like un nee (sister). So we giggled, imitating " Wow, Jumi un nee.." But we were wrong! In fact, Brad just called " Jumi and Mi."
We must be developing a serious disorder. Too Much English Disorder is gradually casting its dark shadow over our classroom.

journal 19: Prison Breakers
Thursday, May 22
While we were chatting as usual at the first recess, we realized we had one thing in common lately. Before we knew, we got sick and tired of the same day,the same classroom 305, the same pattern, the constant English torture.All of us, classmates had been feeling the same way, particularly since last week. At the same time we shouted, " We have been in a slump.We need
a small change to survive."
After discussing, we came up with the idea, " This classroom looks like a prison today. We have to escape from this prison even for a short time. As a band-aid measure, let's explore to a new place to eat lunch with a bowl of korean rice wine."
We could feel a lot refreshed with the fantastic lunch; Korean rice wine, spicy noodles, noodle soup, seafood and leek pancake, under the trees, blue sky and with soft breeze.

journal 16: Hotel California (Lyrics)
Friday May 2
I had meaningful time in learning the song Hotel California.
In Denis's class, we were being taught the four strand theory. For a meaningful input and output and a language focus, we had the luck to listen to the song Hotel California. Though I had already known and liked it so much, the song sounded very different to me at that moment. It was probably because I came to understand the lyrics more deeply through Denis's meaningful explanation. So I love it the more. How gloomysweet its melody is! How literary and philosophical its lyric is!

Session 2 already started on this Monday along with the tragic news of the ferry Sewol. But I have not written any journal this week. Just like all the other people, I have been much stunned at the disaster and have not concentrated on my work. With deep sorrow and anger as well, I have been talking about it with my classmates in daytime and just watching TV news until late at night. Now giving my condolences to the victims and their families, .... I really hope a tragic accident like this will not happen again and we adult will learn and innovate many things from this disaster.

journal 12: Freedom Writers
Friday April 11
Denis had us bring tears to our eyes in his class from the first period. It was because he showed the impressive film " Freedom Writers" produced in 2007 starring Hilary Swank, Scott Glenn, Imelda Staunton and Patrick Dempsey. The film is based on the book The Freedom Writers Diary by teacher Erin Gruwell who wrote the story based on Woodrow Wilson Classical High School in Eastside, Long Beach, California.
It was so touching that almost all the classmates shed tears and several times had to wipe our eyes and nose with some tissues . At first, I was much stunned at finding out that the boys and girls in the region spent their daily lives in such a danger. Second I was deeply moved at Erin's commitment.
This movie seems to teach that the first thing in education is to have a true relationship between the teacher and the students. Thank you for showing this movie, Denis!

Smiling brightly, Michelle cheered us up," Break a leg!"
we had a wonderful time in performing dramas of our own. The two plays were " How the beaver got its flat tail?" and " How the rabbit got its red eyes?" We made up the whole story, did some rehearsals, even made several props for ourselves and brought some costumes(?). Some had to dance on the stage and others had to cry out loud. The most difficult thing was to control our burst into laughter so as not to disturb the acting. All of the stress was relieved when Michelle said to us, " I have never seen such a wonderful performance and energetic participation before." I think we cannot forget our happy moment with our great performance!
journal 10: Triple Punch
Monday April 7th
Three funny things happened one at a time today. It felt like punches in our head. To our frustration, my classmates and I could not defend our own point of view effectively. How sorry we felt for our poor English.
The first punch was thrown at us in Rob's class. We happened to discuss Dok-do. He implied that we Koreans seemed to be rather emotional about the issue than necessary. We admitted it but still we wanted to prove that Dok-do is ours. But Explaining all those things in English was a big challenge. The long controversy got a happy ending with his remark, "Yes, Dok-do belongs to Korea, of course." We all smiled happily.
In Noel's class, he played a joke that our classroom looked like a ghetto because of a few sheets of calendar attached on the glasswall. I didn't attach them on the painted wall in order not to peel off the paint on the wall. Though we were surprised at it at first, we admitted it could look like that. That was the second punch.
The third punch was thrown in Brad's class. In the middle of talking about the particular food to eat when we got ill, Karen said that overcooked rice porridge(=누룽지죽) was really good for a cold and tasted great. When we heard that, all of my classmates automatically imagined its nutsy smell and good taste. When Brad frankly said it had only a burn taste plus water from his experience, we were all stunned.
Even though I compared those happenings to triple punch, we, in fact, liked their honest response because it meant we and the native professors felt more and more friendly and comfortable.

Wednesday April 2nd
In ER class, our fabulous actor Noel taught us how to play ' word up' game. It was fun. The way how to play it is as follows. I have to answer a proper word after listening to the question. The questions are divided into 4 categories: missing word, crossword, multiple choices, and spelling. If I make a correct answer, I am given a chip. I have to collect four colored chips equally, not to mention many chips. I should be alert because this game has tricks and traps, too. Karen and April came up with a few good ideas to apply it to our school class. What nice teachers they are!

At the first period, all of us quickly walked out of the classroom and waited for Jeff at the cafe downstairs with the messages written on the whiteboard at the empty room. It said, " Please look for us downstairs."
When we saw his smiling face at the cafe, we were laughing togethr just like mischievous students. We ,including Jeff, had a joyful time talking over coffee.

journal 6: 30%
Friday March 28
How well can I express my opinion or feeling in English? If in Korean, I would talk about everything in detail all day and night long.
When it comes to speaking in English, it is quite different. It is no more than thirty percent that I can express my opinion or feeling in English confidently and deeply. I was not in mute state, though. but 30% is far from the level of satisfaction. Just like a famous Korean song lyric, actually my laughing is not a genuine laughing at all! 2014년 3월 27일 목요일
journal 5: Eight Trainees
Thursday March 27
My classmates and I were eager to write a drama script in Michelle's drama class. Michelle gave us a task to perform a 5-minute-drama next week. As a first step, we were racking our brains to make the best script.
I belong to class 2 with eight trainees. I am so grateful to have such nice classmates like them. They are humorous, cheerful and sincere. Moreover, they are full of happy, positive energy. With such wonderful companions, time flies so fast in this classroom. I don't have to be afraid of making a mistake in speaking English and don't care even though I make scores of mistakes. So I am learning English better by trial and error. Thank you, guys!
Anyway, all of us like Michelle's drama class so much. It is probably because we can express ourselves as much, laugh out loud as much and learn new things with her.

It was Jeff's CALL class. Mr. Jeff Lebow is a really really wonderful fly on the wall. Thanks to him, my classmates and I can talk about any topic without a big trouble, even though we face dozens of new and confusing expressions. Today we discussed "stress" and learned much more about it.
The first time when he stepped into my classroom on 4th March, all of the classmates couldn't hide our joy. We just wondered why nobody told, in advance, us that the TTP professors were all good-looking and handsome?All of them look like a movie star. Hum. This kind of surprise is always welcomed! What's more, Jeff is very kind and considerate of not only his students but also trees and children!

Pattern for " I am" poem
I am a committed but lonely English teacher.
I wonder why my students are sleeping in my class.
I hear some girls snorting.
I see other girls reading katalk.
I want them to wake up and pay attention to me.
I am a committed but lonely English teacher.
I pretend not to see their doze and distraction.
I feel lonely.
I touch only a piece of white chalk nervously.
I worry about their points of the final exam in a few days.
I cry out a few words more loudly enough to wake them up.
I am a committed but lonely English teacher.
I understand they are too tired with overloaded works.
I say emptily " English is the most important subject for your college entrance."
I dream that all of them will get a high score in the exam.
I try hard to explain English grammar rules.
I hope that all of them will quickly awaken and understand what I am teaching.
I am a committed but lonely English teacher.
