CONVERSATION CLASS INTRODUCTION

WHY IS ENGLISH IMPORTANT/OUR GOALSWelcome to English Conversation class. My name is Bryan Bissell and we are going to learn a lot of useful and interesting things this term together.

Each of you has been given freedom, creative potential and an incredible power to learn facts, think about truth and act on it to improve and change your life and the world around you. It is the purpose of education to develop that power so you can solve challenges, influence character, earn a living, be successful and be leaders in different spheres of society. Make an effort to be thinkers, not just reflectors of other men's thoughts.

The classes you attend are not just preparation for your future. They are life encounters. Your time is valuable and short. So use each class to learn as much as you can so that in the future, you can teach others. Read a lot, ask questions a lot, share your experiences and opinions. It is by interacting with others and being open that you will learn the most.

Knowing English well is very important & will give you many advantages. With English, you can:1) get better jobs and career options.2) know important information. Information is power!

Mother Mouse was crossing a path in the woods with her three little babies. She noticed a big cat crouching behind a bush.  The cat eyeballed Mother Mouse. Mother Mouse eyeballed the cat.  Then Mother Mouse bellowed out, "Woof, woof, woof."  The cat got so scared that it jumped up and ran away.  Mother Mouse proudly turned to her babies and said, "Now do you see the value of learning a second language?"

Since important information is often in English before it is other languages, knowing English will give you an important advantage which will give you more opportunities before others know about them.

3) get promotions and higher salaries (According to Business week magazine, English ability gives people a 35% higher salary on average.)

4) communicate with the world and express your opinions and knowledge as you wish. Don’t have to depend on translators who might make mistakes.

5) ead and understand new research and information in many areas.

6) travel easily in most countries.7) understand foreign humor and media and others..

We are going to work together to develop your skills in English and to help you achieve some of these goals. Our specific goals in this class are going to be: 1) To guarantee comprehension of specific grammar

structures in English.2) To practice and master these English grammatical

CONVERSATION CLASS INTRODUCTION (in K o rean) 왜 영어는 중요한가 / 우리의 목표 영어 회화수업에 오신걸 환영합니다. 저의 이름은 브라이언 비셸입니다. 우리는 유용하고 재미있는 것들을 이번 학기에 함께 배울 것 입니다.

***(Korean coming soon here)***

영어를 잘 아는 것은 아주 중요합니다.여러분들은 영어를 배움으로써 많은 이점을 얻을 수 있습니다.1) 더 나은 직업을 가지고 직업 선택을 할 수 있습니다.2) 중요한 정보를 알 수 있습니다. 정보는 힘입니다.

엄마 쥐가 3 마리의 아기 쥐와 함께 숲 속 길을 지나고 있었습니다. 엄마 쥐는 고양이가 관목 뒤에 웅크리고 있는 것을 알아챘습니다. 그 고양이는 엄마 쥐를 날카롭게 노려보았습니다. 그리고 나서 엄마 쥐는 큰소리로 울었습니다. ‘으르렁’ ‘으르렁’ ‘으르렁’ 고양이는 겁에 질려 달아나 버렸습니다. 엄마 쥐는 아기 쥐들에게 돌아보며 자랑스럽게 말했습니다. “자. 지금 너희들은 제 2 외국어 교육의 가치를 보았지?”

중요한 정보는 다른 언어로 쓰여지기 전에 보통 영어로 쓰여지기 때문에 영어를 아는 것은 여러분께 상당한 이득을 제공하며, 이것은 다른 이들이 알기 전에 더 많은 기회를 당신에게 부여 할 것 입니다.

3) 승진과 높은 임금을 받을 것입니다.(비즈니스 주간지에 따르면, 영어 능력을 가진 사람은 평균보다 35%로 높은 임금을 받는다고 합니다.)

4) 전세계와 의사소통이 가능하며, 당신의 의견이나 지식들을 원하는 대로 표현 할 수 있습니다. 실수를 할지도 모르는 통역관에게 의존 할 필요가 없습니다.

5) 각 지역의 새 연구 자료나 정보들을 읽고 이해 할 수 있습니다.

6) 대부분의 나라들을 쉽게 여행 할 수 있습니다.7) 외국 유머나 미디어 등을 이해 할 수 있습니다.

당신의 영어 능력을 발전 시키고, 위의 목표들을 성취하도록 돕기 위해서 우리는 함께 공부를 할 것 입니다. 이 수업시간의 구체적인 목표는 다음과 같습니다. 1)구체적인 영어 문법 구조의 이해력을 보장합니다. 2)노래, 게임, 번역, 문법 연습, 읽기, 역할 연기, 체계적 회화와

structures through various such as structured conversations, roleplays, readings, grammar activities, translation activities, games, songs, movies, real life situations & more.

3) To read, discuss and learn useful and stimulating things that will improve our lives and the lives of others.

CLASS OUTLINE & NECESSARY MATERIALSThe outline of our class is available online. We will follow many things in that. But, extra topics and activities may be added from time to time. YOU NEED: Textbook(s) (buy them at the bookstore), Internet Access, English-Korean/Korean English Dictionary, notebook, pens, etc.

GRADING SYSTEMThis is a basic summary of the grading system that I will use:1) ATTENDANCE & PARTICIPATION (10%): I will

mark your attendance everyday. 2 lates or 20 minutes late=1 absence. You should always be active in conversations, group activities, asking questions to the teacher, etc. If you are talking in Korean, not talking in English much, not participating much or things like that, I will subtract points. Doing the workbook will be 5% of this grade.

2) MIDTERM & FINAL TESTS (60%): Your midterm test will be 30% of the grade. Your final test will also be 30% of the grade.

3) CLASS WORK/HOMEWORK (30%): Your class work, homework and class quizzes (individual, with partners, in groups) will be 30% of your grade. Creativity is very important in most careers. So, on most assignments, 10-20% of your grade will be based on creativity, humor, persuasiveness, etc.

STRUCTURED/FREE WRITING CHECKING: Usually, we will check all structured work together as a class and the teacher will check all free writing work. This is because A) research says it’s more effective to check the work right after it’s done and B) so the teacher has more time to check free writing homework and create more valuable materials and activities.

GRADE MARKS AND MEANINGS (How I correct and how you should correct in class)This is how I grade and I expect students to grade in a similar way when you are grading each other. 0=perfect…no mistakes. Similar words are OK. -0=minor mistake(s). These will be mistakes with

articles (a, an, the), prepositions (in, at, of, to, in front of, etc), spelling mistakes and things like that.

=1 major mistake or 2 minor mistakes. Major mistakes are usually with tenses, esp. the 4 basic tenses (present, present continuous, past and future) and basic word order.

X=zero points. 1 major mistake with at least 2 other

같은 다양한 활동을 통해 영어 문법 구조들을 연습하고 숙달 합니다.3)우리의 삶과 다른 이들의 삶을 향상시키는 유용하고 활기찬 것들을 배우고, 읽고, 토론합니다.

수업개요 & 필수자료 이 수업의 개요는 온라인을 통해 볼 수 있습니다. 우리는

온라인에 있는 많은 자료로 수업을 할 것입니다. 그러나 정규과정 이외의 주제나 활동들도 가끔씩 다룰 것입니다.지 참 물: 교재(서점에서 구입 가능), 인터넷 접근, 영한/한영사전, 공책, 볼펜 등.

학점 체계 이것은 수업시간에 제가 사용할 학점체계를 간략하게 요약 한 것 입니다.

1) 출석&참여(10%): 저는 출석체크를 매일 할 것입니다. 2 번 지각과 20 분 이상 지각은 한번의 결석으로 인정합니다. 회화시간이나, 그룹활동 또는 저에게 질문을 할 때 에는 항상 적극적으로 하세요. 수업시간에 영어로 말을 많이 하지 않고, 한국어로 말을 하거나 수업에 참여하지 않는 다면 점수가 감점될 것입니다. 워크북교재를 하는 것도 점수의 5%를 차지 합니다.

2) 중간고사/기말고사(60%): 중간 고사는 점수의 30%를 차지하고, 기말고사는 점수의 30%를 차지합니다.

3) 수업 업무/과제(30%): 수업 업무, 과제 그리고 수업퀴즈(개인적, 파트너, 그룹) 는 점수의 30%를 차지합니다. 창조력은 대부분의 직업에서 아주 중요합니다. 그렇기 때문에 모든 과제에 있어 10-20%는 창조력, 유머, 설득력을 바탕으로 주어집니다.

구조적 작문 / 자 작문 검사 우리는 하나의 수업으로써 모든 구조적인 업무를 함께 검사 할 것 입니다. 그리고 저는 여러분들이 한 모든 작문과제를 검사 할 것 입니다.연구자에 따르면, 작품이 끝난 후에 바로 검사 하는 것이 더 효율적이라고 합니다. 이로써 교수는 작문과제 검사에 더 많은 시간을 치중 할 수 있고, 더 가치 있는 자료와 활동들을 창조하는데 시간을 투자 할 수 있습니다.

점수 표시와 중요성 (내가 채점하는 방법과 여러분들이 수업시간에 채점하는 방법)이것은 내가 채점을 하는 방법이며, 여러분들이 서로서로 채점을 할 때도, 이 와 유사한 방법으로 채점을 해주 셨으면 합니다.

● 0=완벽 (틀린 것이 없음) 비슷한 답안도 인정.● -0=사소한 실수. 관사(a. an. The), 전치사(in, at, of, to. In front of, etc), 철자를 틀렸을 경우가 이에 해당.● =1 큰 실수 또는 2 개 이상의 사소한 실수. 큰 실수는 시제를 틀렸을 경우, 특히 4 개 기초 시제(현재, 현재진행, 과거, 미래), 기초 단어 배열 실수가 이에 해당.

mistakes = zero points.

EXAMPLE A: I want to go to home. GRADE = -0 RIGHT: I want to go home.EXAMPLE B: I study hard yesterday. GRADE = RIGHT: I studIED hard yesterday.EXAMPLE C: I hard work in last week. GRADE = X RIGHT: I workED hard last week.EXAMPLE D: I’m going to my house.” GRADE = 0

Also OK, “I’m going home.”

QUIZZES: Besides the midterm and final tests, there will be other small quizzes. Sometimes, students will test each other in conversation and writing. Be careful to do this accurately and honestly. These are common ones: Written Grammar tests in English: After we have studied

a chapter, I may give tests with English questions or sentences. You will have to give English answers or questions that match.

Written Grammar tests in Korean/paragraphs: I may give a test where you have to translate from Korean to English or you have to decide which grammar structure to use in a paragraph. This test is the real test to see if you can make the structure correctly without any hints.

Spoken Mastery/Fluency Tests: This test is a spoken test which judges your fluency. With hints in English or Korean you will have to say the correct answers within a good time. This will help you to speak more at a natural speed.

Listening quizzes (songs, movies, book): From the book or songs or movies, we may have some listening quizzes from time to time.

SPEAKING ACTIVITIES: We will sometimes do speeches, role plays, presentations and similar activities to give you practice at free speaking and to see how well you can use the structures we have learned. In big classes, we may do a few group role plays. This means that groups will practice a roleplay. Then 1-2 people from each group will be chosen to act out the roleplay and the whole group will receive a score from that group. We will also do roleplays with 2-3 people acting out a situation in front and this will be graded.

WRITING ACTIVITIES: You will sometimes have written assignments where you will write about your experiences, opinions and sometimes write to persuade others of your opinions. Here especially creativity is very important. When written assignments are checked by the teacher, students must rewrite all sentences with mistakes in the correct way 2 times for full points. If sentences are not rewritten, no grade will be recorded.

Written assignments will be 50-100 points usually. In these assignments, you will lose 1-2 points for each small mistake (articles, prepositions, spelling, etc.). You will lose 3-5 points for each major mistake (esp. check your verbs and tenses carefully).

● X=0 점수. 적어도 2 개의 사소한 실수와 큰 실수를 했을 때.=점수 없음.예A: I want to go to home. 점수=-0 정답: I want to go home예 B: I study hard yesterday 점수= 정답: I stud IED hard yesterday. 예 C: I hard work in last week. 점수=X 정답: I work ED hard last week.예 D: I’m going to my house. 점수=0 Also ok., I’m going home.

퀴즈중간고사와 기말고사 사이에 간단한 퀴즈를 볼 것 입니다. 때때로 학생들끼리 회화와 작문 시험을 볼 것 입니다.정확하고 정직하게 임해주시길 바랍니다. 보통 아래와 같은 것들이 있습니다.● ● 영어로 적힌 문법 시험: 한 장을 공부한 후에,

영어질문과 문장으로 된 시험을 칠 것 입니다. 여러분들은 영어답안과 질문을 적어야 합니다.

● 한국어로 적힌 문법 시험/절: 한국어를 영어로 번역 하고, 어떤 문법구조가 절 안에서 사용 되었는지 쓰는 시험을 가질 것입니다. 이 것은 여러분이 힌트 없이 정확하게 문법 구조를 만들 수 있는지 보기 위한 시험입니다.

● 말하기 숙달/능변 시험: 이 것은 여러분의 능변을 판단하기 위해서 치는 시험입니다. 영어나 한국어의 힌트로 여러분은 빠른 시간 내에 정확한 답변을 해야 합니다. 이것은 여러분이 자연스러운 속도로 말할 수 있도록 도와 줍니다.

● 듣기 퀴즈(노래, 영화, 책): 책, 노래, 또는 영화를 통해 우리는 듣기 퀴즈를 치를 것 입니다.

말하기 ( 회화 ) 활동 여러분이 수업시간에 배운 구조들을 얼마나 잘 이용하고 있는지 확인하고, 프리 스피킹을 위한 연습을 위해서 말하기, 역할 연극, 프리젠테이션, 그리고 이런 유사한 활동들을 할 것입니다. 많은 인원들 가운데 몇몇의 그룹만 역할 연극을 할 것 입니다. 그룹들은 역할연극 연습을 하고 난 다음에 각각의 그룹에서 한 두 명만 선발 해서 역할 연극을 할 것 입니다. 전체 그룹은 그들을 통해서 점수를 받게 될 것입니다. 또한 우리는 두 세 명의 인원이 나와서 역할 연극을 할 것이며. 이것은 채점 되어 집니다.

작문 활동 여러분들은 자신의 경험과 의견을 바탕으로 쓴 작문 과제를 할 것 입니다. 그리고 당신의 의견을 다른 사람들에게 설득하는 글도 쓸 것 입니다. 여기서는 창조력이 가장 중요 합니다. 제가 과제를 검사 한 후에 여러분들은 완전 한 점수를 받기 위해서는 틀린 문장들을 두 번씩 고쳐 써서 제출 해야 합니다. 제출하지 않을 시에는 점수가 부여되지 않습니다.

작문과제는 보통 50-100 점수가 됩니다. 이 과제에서는 사소한 실수(관사, 전치사, 철자 등)로 인해 1-2 점 정도 감점될 것이며, 큰 실수(동사와 시제를 틀렸을 때)를 했을 때는 3-5 점 감점 될 것입니다.

창조력은 중요합니다

CREATIVITY IS CRITICALWe live in an information and marketing age. Creativity is often highly paid (actors, singers, marketing consultants for example). So, ~20% of the grade for grammar sentences and essays and presentations will be from your creativity. Grammatical accuracy is very important…but so is creativity and content. Here are some ideas to think about in being creative:

1) FUNNY: Make funny or comical grammar questions: EX: When did you swallow a camel? 2) PERSONAL: Make questions about people’s personal lives or emotions or feelings: EX: How did you feel when you broke up with your girlfriend?3) CURRENT/CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES: Write questions or essays about current controversial issues. EX: How can we stop terrorists from kidnapping and killing innocent people?4) IDIOMS/PROVERBS: Make questions with idioms, proverbs or slang. Use these in essays/writings as well to get more points.5) COMPLEX GRAMMAR: Use complex grammar and integrate grammar patterns: Where do you have to go if you need relationship or marital counseling? 만약 당신이 친족이나 부부사이에 상담받을 일이 있다면 어디로 가야하나요? (this uses conditional and infinitive grammar together in one sentence)6) USE STORIES/HUMOR: Essays and articles are always much more interesting if they have a good story or humor in them. Try to find and include these in your writings.7) USE SCIENCE/STATISTICS: Stories are interesting. But, to convince people that you are talking about a problem that is affecting many people and that you know the cause and solutions of the problem, you need to use science and statistics. You can also use quotes from famous people to add credibility to your ideas.8) USE PICTURES/VIDEOS: You can illustrate your writings with pictures or add short videos/animations to your presentations. If they are appropriate and match your point, it can make your argument much more powerful.

ADVANCED STUDENTSIf you feel that you are an advanced student (because of studying overseas or much experience in studying English, etc.) please come to me and we can talk. If your tests or other evidence shows that you are very advanced, I may be able to arrange other assignments and activities that will help you more in your career and life.

OTHER IMPORTANT POINTSHere are a few other important points about homework and grading:1. Assignments will be graded according to grammar you

have been taught. If you make mistakes in things you have been taught, you will lose more points. So, be sure to check your work esp. about the grammar you have learned.

2. Students can check their own grades/scores on my grade sheet anytime you wish. Come to my office or talk to me

우리는 정보화 마케팅 시대에 살고 있습니다. 창조력은 종종 높은 임금을 받습니다(연기자, 가수, 마케팅 컨설턴트 가 그 예임) 그래서 문법 문장, 에쎄이, 프리젠테이션을 위한 20%의 점수는 여러분의 창조력에서 매겨집니다. 문법의 정확성은 매우 중요합니다. 하지만 창조력과 내용이 더 중요합니다. 여기에는 창조적으로 작문을 하기 위해 몇몇의 아이디어가 있습니다.

1)재미있는: 재미있고 우스꽝스러운 문법 질문들을 만드세요. 예) 당신은 언제 낙타를 삼켰나요

2)개인적인: 사람들의 개인적인 삶이나 정서 또는 감정에 대한 질문을 만드세요. 예) 당신의 여자친구와 헤어졌을 때 기분은 어땠나요?

3)현재/ 논란이 되고 있는 문제: 현재 논란이 되고 있는 문제에 대해서 에쎄이나 질문을 만들어 쓰세요. 예) 죄 없는 사람들을 죽이고 납치하는 테러리스트 들을 어떻게 막을 수 있습니까?

4)관용구/속담: 관용구와 속담, 속어를 이용해 질문을 만드세요. 이런 것들을 작문에 써서 더 높은 점수를 받으세요.

5)복합적인 문법: 복합적인 문법과 완전한 문법을 사용하세요. 예) 만약 당신이 친족이나 부부 사이에 상담 받을 일이 있다면 어디로 가야 하나요? (이것은 조건 절과 부정사를 한 문장에 이용한 것입니다)

6)이야기와 유머의 이용: 좋은 이야기와 유머가 가미된 에쎄이와 기사는 항상 더 흥미롭습니다. 여러분의 작문에 유머와 이야기를 넣도록 하세요.

7)과학과 통계의 이용: 이야기가 흥미롭지만, 많은 사람들에게 영향을 미치는 문제점에 대해서 얘기를 하고 있는 것을 사람들에게 확인 시켜주거나 여러분이 그 문제의 원인이나 해결책을 알 때 에는 과학과 통계를 이용할 필요가 있습니다. 여러분은 당신의 의견에 신빙성을 더해 주기 위해서 유명한 사람들의 말을 인용 할 수도 있습니다.

8)사진과 비디오의 이용: 여러분의 작문 속에 그림을 도해 할 수 있으며, 짧은 비디오는 애니메이션을 프리젠테이션에 넣을 수 있습니다. 만약 그것들이 적합하고 당신의 핵심과 일치한다면, 이것은 당신의 주장을 더 설득력 있게 만들어 줄 것 입니다.

우수한 학생들 만약 당신이 우수한 학생이라고 생각한다면(외국에서 공부를 했거나 영어 공부에 있어서 많은 경험이 있는 학생들) 저에게 오셔서 얘기 해주세요. 만약 당신이 우수한 학생이라고 시험이나 다른 증거를 통해 인정이 되면, 저는 당신의 직업이나 삶에 있어 도움을 줄 수 있는 다른 과제나 활동들을 계획 할 것 입니다.

다른 중요한 점 과제와 학점에 대한 몇 가지 다른 중요한 점이 있습니다.1. 과제는 여러분이 수업 중에 배운 문법에 따라 점수가 매겨

질 것입니다. 만약 여러분이 배운 것 중에서 실수를 할 경우에는 많은 감점이 있을 것입니다. 그렇기 때문에 여러분이 배운 문법에 신경을 쓰시기 바랍니다.

2. 학생들은 언제든지 학점 카드에 쓰인 점수를 확인 하실 수 있습니다 저의 사무실로 찾아오시거나 수업이 끝난 후에 저에게 말씀해주세요. 아니면 수업시간에 학점 카드를 보실 수 있습니다. 모든 이는 인간입니다. 심지어 저도 한번 실수를 한적이 있습니다. 그러므로 학점 확인을 하시고, 여러분의 과제를 가지고 계세요.

after class or look on the grade sheet in class. Everyone is human and even I make mistakes once in a while, so check your grades AND KEEP YOUR HOMEWORK.

3. Written assignments must be double spaced so that the teacher can write corrections between the lines easily.

4. On all homework, please write your name, student number, class and the row that you are sitting in according to the grade card (Korean names are OK).

5. You will have a chart for conversation. During the semester, you should talk at least once with every other student in the class. After you talk with someone, ask them to sign their name on your chart. At the end of the class, this chart will be part of your attendance and participation grade (5% of your total grade). So make sure to keep a good record of this.

6. During conversations and class work, keep your student name or number on the table so the teacher can see it.

7. Late assignments will lose 10% of their grade each week they are late depending on the reason they are late.

8. Don’t throw your homework away, especially things the teacher has corrected. These are important to review before tests. Also, keep them just in case there are some questions about grades or some accidents happen.

9. If you win certain games and activities you can collect bonus points for quizzes and tests.

COPYING , ETHICS AND REFERENCING Sometimes students are tempted to copy their work from others. Teamwork is very good and useful in group projects and getting advice is also important. But, copying without referencing is very wrong and unethical. It is the same as lying. You are saying that this is your work and it isn’t your work. In the real world lying causes people to lose jobs, lose money, families and sometimes even lose their lives. Because cheating is so damaging in the real world, it will not be tolerated. If you do cheat, there will be major penalties. In most cases you will have to do the assignment 3-4 times instead of just once in order to get a grade. There may also be some points lost depending on the situation.1) EXAMPLE 1: Hwang Oo Suk is one example. He lost

his job, money and Korea was very embarrassed by his lies.

2) EXAMPLE 2: Ken Lay of Enron is another recent example. He lied to stockholders about the health of his company. He said it was doing very well. But, at the same time he was selling all of his stock in the company. The company went bankrupt and many,many people who had trusted him lost a lot of money. The government took him to court. They found him guilty of lying and sentenced him to prison for 30 years. He didn’t go though. Why? Because of such intense stress, he got a heart attack and died. His lies and the stress from his lies eventually killed him.

FACT: There are many similar examples. Every year businesses in America lose $310,000,000,000 because of dishonesty. It’s similar in Korea. This causes great stress, broken dreams and many problems for many people including the person who lied or stole. They are usually

3. 작문과제는 제가 빈칸 사이에 교정을 할 수 있도록 두 칸을 띄우시기 바랍니다.

4. 모든 과제에는 반드시 학생이름, 학생 번호, 수업과목 그리고 학점 카드에 적힌 여러분들이 앉은 자리의 분단을 써주세요(한국어 이름도 가능)

5. 여러분들은 회화차트를 가질 것입니다. 이번 학기 동안 여러분들은 수업시간에 모든 학생들과 적어도 한번씩은 대화를 해야 합니다. 누군가와 대화를 한 후에, 당신의 차트에 그들의 이름을 쓰도록 하십시오. 수업이 끝났을 때, 이 차트로 여러분의 출석을 확인 할 것이고, 참여 성적에 반영이 됩니다.(전체 점수의 5%). 그러므로 좋은 기록을 유지하시기 바랍니다.

6. 수업 시간 동안 제가 볼 수 있도록 학생 이름 이나 학생 번호를 책상 위에 써주세요.

7. 과제 제출일을 넘길 시에는 매주 10%씩 점수가 감점될 것입니다..

8. 과제를 버리지 마세요. 특히 제가 교정한 것들은 가지고 계세요. 이것들은 시험공부를 할 때 중요한 자료가 될 것 입니다. 그리고 예상치 못할 일이나 학점에 대한 의문이 생길 경우를 대비해 버리지 말고 꼭 가지고 계세요.

9. 만약 여러분이 어떤 게임이나 활동에서 이겼을 경우에는 퀴즈나 시험에서 가산 점수를 받을 수 있습니다.

복사 . 도덕성 그리고 참고 자료 가끔 학생들은 과제를 할 때 다른 이들의 글을 베껴서 쓰려고 합니다. 협동작업은 그룹 프로젝트를 할 때 유용하고 충고를 가지는 것도 중요하지만 참고 출처 표시 없이 복사를 하는 것은 잘못되었고 비도덕적인 행위입니다. 이것은 거짓말을 하는 것과 같습니다. 여러분은 이것은 당신의 작품이라고 말을 하지만 이것은 당신의 작품이 아닙니다. 현세에서는 거짓말은 직업을 잃게 만들고 돈, 가족을 잃게 만들고 심지어 그들의 삶마저 잃게 만듭니다. 왜냐하면 속이는 것은 인생에 치명타를 입히며, 거짓말은 참을 수 없는 일입니다. 만약 여러분들이 이런 행위를 한다면 큰 벌칙이 따를 것입니다. 학점을 받기 위해 한 개의 과제를 해도 될 것을 3-4 의 과제를 하게 될 것입니다. 또한 상황에 따라선 점수를 잃게 될 경우도 있습니다.1)예 1: 황우석 박사가 그 예입니다. 그는 직업을 잃었고, 돈을 잃었으며, 한국인들은 그의 거짓말에 매우 충격을 받았습니다.2)예 2: 엔론 사의 켄 레이가 최근의 또 다른 예입니다. 그는 주주인들 에게 자신의 회사가 건재하다고 사기를 쳤습니다. 그는 회사는 잘되어가고 있다고 말하면서 자신은 회사의 모든 주식을 팔고 있었습니다. 그 회사는 부도가 났고, 그를 믿은 많은 사람들이 많은 돈을 잃었습니다. 그는 법원에 세워졌습니다. 법원에서는 그를 사기죄로 30년 징역을 선고했습니다. 하지만 그는 형을 다 채우지도 못 한 채 극심한 스트레스로 인해 심장마비로 죽었습니다. 자신의 거짓말의 대가로 결국 그는 죽음을 맞이 하게 된 것입니다.

사 실: 많은 유사한 예가 있습니다. 미국에 있는 기업들은 부정직 때문에 매년 310.000.000.000 달러를 잃습니다. 한국에서도 마찬가지 입니다. 이것은 엄청난 스트레스를 일으키고, 꿈을 깨뜨리며 거짓말을 하고 훔치는 사람들을 포함한 많은 사람들에게 많은 문제가 됩니다. 그들은 보통 잡혀가고 벌을 받게 됩니다. 저는 정말 이 문제를 중요하게 생각합니다. 왜냐하면 학교의 몇몇 동료들은 나와 한 약속을 깨며, 이것은 제가 다니는 학교를 훼손시킬 뿐 아니라 정말 가슴 아픈 일입니다. 그러므로 항상 정직하시고 도덕적인 사람이 되세요. 남의 것을 복사 할 생각은 일체 하지 마세요.

caught and punished. I feel strongly about this because some partners in a school that I started broke their promises to me. This destroyed one school that I started and was very heart breaking. So, always be honest and ethical. Don’t even think about copying. It’s lying.

The big criminals that we hear about didn’t start by doing big crimes. They started with small things. So, don’t think that your copying or lying are small things. Stop even the small wrong things right now. Think about these quotes/facts.

THOUGHT ON INTEGRITY Zig Ziglar talks about an interview with ~100 Fortune

500 CEOs. They were asked what was the most important quality. They said that the most important thing for CEOS was integrity and honesty.

”It's more important to do the right thing than to do things right.” Peter Drucker, business guru

What is plagiarism? Monash University has a good definition of plagiarism. It is: “copying phrases and passages word-for-word without

quotation marks and without a reference to the author; this includes but is not limited to books, journals, reports, theses, websites, conference papers and course notes

paraphrasing an author's work and presenting it without a reference; this includes but is not limited to sentences, paragraphs, ideas and themes

submitting work as your own that someone else has done for you.

If you have used someone else's work without acknowledging your source, you have plagiarised.”quoted from Monash University at: http://www.monash.edu.au/lls/llonline/writing/general/plagiarism/index.xml

HOW CAN I WRITE ABOUT IDEAS FROM OTHER PEOPLEYou can rewrite facts and true things in your own words without giving your source. But, you can’t just copy the same words from the internet and call it your own. For example:

ORIGINAL: Florence was born into a rich family at the Villa Colombia in Florence, Italy, on May 12, 1820, but grew up in England. She and her sister loved the countryside and Nightingale sometimes took care of sick

countryside and Nightingale sometimes took care of sick dogs and animals in the area. In 1840, Nightingale begged her parents to let her study mathematics more but her mother did not approve of this idea. After many emotional arguments, her parents finally let her study math with several excellent math teachers. Later she tutored other students in math. Her math skills became very important in her nursing work and helped her to pioneer the “coxcomb” pie charts which people everywhere use now.

REWRITTEN: Florence Nightingale grew up in England. She was a country girl and had a passion for caring for sick animals. She also loved studying. Once, she begged her mother to let her study math. Finally, after many arguments, her parents agreed. Florence later taught other students in math and her math skills were critical in developing her pioneering pie charts.

It is also not ethical to follow the same story line or plot as another writer. You need to do make your own plot, focus and not just take it from someone else. What story do you want to tell? What is your goal in writing? Read a lot, rewrite some things in your own words and use ideas from many sources. But, make it YOUR story and according to YOUR focus.

You can quote and tell stories from other people. This is good and it shows that you are more intelligent and that you have studied your topic. But, if you do this, you must tell where you got the information: You will need to include at least the 1) page number, 2) author’s name, 3) the name of the article, magazine or the book it is in OR the website address where you found it and 4) (for books) the publisher

Here are a few examples of how to do it:

QUOTES FROM FAMOUS DEAD PEOPLE: If it’s just a sentence or two (especially from a famous dead person), then you can just put the sentence and the author’s name. EXAMPLE:

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” – Aristotle"The only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve." - Albert Schweitzer

QUOTES FROM MAGAZINES “Americans consume 21 million barrels of oil every day to fuel our cars, heat our homes and power our farms, factories and cities.” Delbanco, Andreas, “The Future of Energy”, inTime July, 2006: 4.

QUOTES FROM BOOKS: “God had commanded the Hebrews to teach their children His requirements and to make them acquainted with all His dealings with their fathers. This was one of the special duties of every parent--one that was not to be delegated to another.

HOW DO I LEARN ENGLISH WELL?Congratulations! You’re learning English! There are many interesting things to learn in English. But, there are some important ideas to learn English well. Below are some ideas that have helped other students learn English.1. GOOD HEALTH HELPS MEMORY

To learn effectively, you need to have good health. It’s really difficult to learn anything well when you have a splitting headache for example. Modern science is also showing that good health habits are especially important for good learning. 4 of the most important are:A) GET 6-8 HOURS OF SLEEP EVERY NIGHT. Good sleep helps you to remember things long term according to CNN. If you don’t get enough sleep, it’s difficult to keep it in long term memory.

B) REDUCE/AVOID ALCOHOL: Cultures in many countries tell us we must drink alcohol, but many world leaders have rejected this destructive culture and kept their minds and bodies clear. Alcohol kills brain cells every time we drink it. I don’t know about you, but I need every brain cell I have. These people thought so too and refuse(d) to drink alcohol. Lincoln, Admiral Perry, George Bush, John Coltrane (really famous jazz musician), Stephen Covey, Tom Cruise, Gandhi, Orrin Hatch (US Senator), Anthony Hopkins (actor), Abdul Kalam (president of India), David Letterman, Jennifer Lopez, Ewan McGregor, Gwyneth Paltrow, Vladimir Putin (Russia), George Bernard Shaw, Shakira, Henry David Thoreau, Ellen White (most translated American author and most translated woman author in the world) and many more.

C) EAT MANY FRESH FRUITS/VEGETABLES/AVOID MEAT: Fresh fruit and vegetables especially are helpful in increasing your energy. They also give you more endurance. There’s a chemical that causes some brain problems. It’s name is arachidonic acid. This chemical causes problems in making and storing acetylcholine in our brains. Acetylcholine is a very important neuro-transmitter involved with thinking and mental processing. If we don’t have enough acetylcholine, our brain can’t function as well. Where do we find arachidonic acid? It’s found only in meat and in animal products.

D) REDUCE/AVOID SUGAR46 5 year old boys were studied. The boys with low sugar in their diet had superior attention and more correct responses. The boys with low sugar diets had grade scores 10% higher than the boys with high sugar content in their diet. Sugar, especially combined with low sleep, also makes you sick easily.

2. MOTIVATION/GOALS: Why do you want to learn English? For a career, to teach, for a promotion, to travel, to watch movies, to get a foreign boyfriend/girlfriend…Know your reason. Good motivation and clear goals are important for succeeding at learning English. Make sure you set major and minor goals:

MAJOR GOAL: I want to learn conversational English.MINOR GOAL: I don’t know present perfect tense well. I will try to speak and write present perfect tense a lot this week.

3. GET NATURAL & COMPREHENSIBLE INPUTWe learn our first language by listening first a lot. It’s the same with our second language. We need to listen a lot and read a lot first. There are many things in natural English that never appear in books. So, to become natural at English, you need to have lots of exposure to natural English. But, the things you read and read must be comprehensible. If you don’t understand what you watch (CNN, sitcoms, etc.), your ability will not increase very much. Research says that you should understand 80-90% of what you read/listen to to get the maximum learning. Another good method is to record a short TV program. Then watch it once. Write down the words you hear or understand. Do it again and again until you understand most or all of it. You may not understand it at first, but don’t go on to something else until you understand most of it. Very importantly, after you’ve learned something, try to use it in other situations.

4. READ A LOT **Reading a lot is extremely helpful for your English. It helps you learn many new vocabulary words and phrases that you won’t find in books. If you choose good things to read, it will help you to learn many useful ideas for life. Bill Gates, Carnegie, Florence Nightingale, Ben Carson, Bush, George Washington Carver, Billy Graham and so many other highly successful people are voracious leaders. Reading helped develop character and often gave them creative ideas (in Bill Gates case, he read an article from a computer magazine that inspired his idea to start Microsoft). Make sure you are reading useful things. Comic books won’t help you at all (unless your goal is to be a cartoonist). Read things that will

help you grow. Read about people that you want to become like.

I highly recommend reading these chapters about a statesman named Daniel. These chapters show how the choices in many areas like diet are very important for your future success.Read chapters 39-44 from the book "Prophets and Kings" in Korean: http://info.syu.ac.kr/egw/retrieve.php?Table=King&ID=62  in English: http://www.egwtext.whiteestate.org/pk/pk.html

This is a Christian book, but even if you are not a Christian, this book has many good lessons about how diet and discipline are very important foundations of excellence, wisdom and leadership. Daniel’s story will make you think very deeply about your future and how your choices now will determine your future.

5. PERSEVERANCE/CONSISTANT PRACTICE/ There are many important people. Michael Jordan, Park Se Ri, Boa, Edison, Lincoln, John Newton, etc. They have many different traits. But, they all have one quality: Perseverance. They didn’t give up even when things were difficult. The things that are difficult are your biggest chances to improve. Practice them until they are easy. Here’s how: 1) Use new structures often. Write down difficult new vocabulary, phrases, idioms and structures that you hear and don’t know well. Memorize and use them in your speaking and writing. 2) Talk to your teacher and classmates and friends and children in English. 3) Read something everyday in English. If you read ½-1 page everyday in English, you will not forget English.4) Listen and focus on understanding radio/TV programs in English5) write a diary in English, e-mail pen pals in English, talk to yourself in English about everything you see, etc.

When possible have a friend or native speaker correct you and memorize good sentences and use them. Robert Holly became fluent in Korean by memorizing 10 correct Korean sentences everyday. Many people have learned languages well by memorizing, translating and or speaking everyday. You become good at the things that you do consistently. So, use English a lot in a variety of ways and you will become proficient.

”There’s nothing in the world that can take the place of persistence. Talent won’t, genius won’t, education won’t. If you’re persistent and determined to keep going, you’ll get there.... You can never see the full development of yourself down the road. But there’s a certain distance you can see. I believe if you go as far as you can see and then get there, you’ll be able to see a little bit farther and so on.” -SMA Gene C. McKinneyREMEMBER: In English, a very helpful thing to do is to memorize 10 sentences a day.

6. ASK QUESTIONS: The best students usually ask many questions. If you have a question, ALWAYS ask. There are no stupid questions. This also makes English interesting!

7. DON’T WORRY, BE HAPPY!! Everyone makes mistakes, especially at the beginning. I was learning Korean and I wanted to tell my students, “I am your teacher (nah-neun SUN-SAENG-NIM im-ni-dah)” But instead I said, “I am your respectable fish (nah-neun SAENG-SUN-NIM im-ni-dah)”. Have fun learning and laugh and learn from your mistakes.

8. LEARN FROM MISTAKES-IMPROVE YOUR WEAK POINTS: Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Park Chan Ho, Park Se Ri and almost all athletes use an important technique for improving. They watch videos of their games and identify the strong points and the weak points or mistakes. Then they practice and work on making their weak points stronger. You can do the same thing in English. Take tests or ask your teacher to tell you your weak points. Then practice making sentences in those areas until you are confident. This will help you improve more quickly than anything else.

9. DO FUN/USEFUL THINGS IN ENGLISHWhat words are easiest to remember in a new language? Often the slang words and funny words. For example, in Korean I learned “koom-keh-rah” very quickly. This means “dream on”. I used it and it was always very funny and so I remembered it quickly. Try to find things that that are fun to do in English. If you like jokes, read and practice telling jokes in English. If you like singing, listen to English songs and memorize them. If you like art, read and study about art in English. If you are going on a business trip, learn some business language. If you’re a teacher, read ideas for creative teaching. Learn things that you will use often.

10. THINK IN ENGLISHMost students begin speaking by translating in their heads from their home language to English. This is a necessary step at the beginning. But, the sooner you can try to think in English, the better and more fluent you will become. Practice thinking and talking about things that are going on around you, your plans, what you are studying/working on, etc. Try to think in English and that will be a big step to being fluent in the language.

11. ENVIRONMENTThere are a few students who go to America for a year but don’t get much better at English because they spend most of their time with people who don’t use English. There are some students who never leave their home and learn English very well (an example of this is Lee Bo Young from Ewha Women’s University). The key is environment. If you surround yourself with an English environment, then you are going to improve. It is easier to do this in America, but you can do it even in Korea by watching English TV, listening to English music/movies, competing in English speeches, joining English clubs and drama groups, joining English Bible studies/church, reading English books, finding English pen pals, and many other ways.

12. FIND YOUR STYLEMany students want to speak perfect English like CNN. But even native speakers don’t talk like CNN! Each native speaker speaks a little differently because language is a creative art. Some speak quickly, some slowly. Some are more emotional, some logical, some are very polite, some use a lot of slang. In addition, there are many accents: British, American, Australian, South African and others. Find your way of speaking English. There are mistakes to avoid, but there are many right styles of speaking English. Find your style!

13. GOOD STUDY HABITS & TECHNIQUES--USE GOOD MEMORY TECHNIQUES:A) USE ACRONYMS: Acronyms help us remember information: BRASS is an acronym for how to shoot a rifle--Breath, Relax, Aim, Sight, Squeeze. This technique is especially useful for tests.

B) USE ACROSTICS: An acrostic is a sentence you make. The first letter of each word helps you remember something. EVERY GOOD BOY DOES FINE is an acrostic to remember the order of the G-clef notes on sheet music-- E,G,B,D,F.

C) LOCI METHOD - Imagine putting items you want to remember in locations in a room. To remember presidents: Place a dollar bill (Washington) on the door. Walk into the room and see Jefferson reclining on a sofa and Nixon eating out of the refrigerator.

D) KEYWORD METHOD -Select the foreign words you need to remember, then identify an English word that sounds like the foreign one. Now imagine an image that involves the key word with the English meaning of the foreign word. Professor Bissell remembered "선물" in this way. "Sun" and "물" are gifts from God (also “koinonia”). In Spanish, the word "cabina" means phone booth. Invent an image of a cab trying to fit in a phone booth. When you see the word "cabina," you should be able to recall this image and thereby retrieve the meaning "phone booth." Making funny pictures helps you remember more.

E) STORY CHAINING - Create a story where each word or idea you have to remember will cue the next idea you need to recall. Napoleon, ear, door, Germany Story: Napoleon had his ear to the door to listen to the Germans in his beer cellar.
