Speaker:
Yeong Ran Jang, KoreaTeacher of Sinseo Middle School
I majored in English Education and currently teaching English at Sinseo
Middle School in Seoul, Korea. Working as a teacher managing the CC class in my school, I’m getting an opportunity to broaden my perspectives and ways
of looking at the world. I teach students of CC class through co-
teaching, cooperating with a native English teacher from England.
We endeavor to design our lessons to be more interesting and exciting
through the use of various task-based, student-centered activities that are directly connected to students’ real
lives. Though only a small number of students are participating in CC at the
moment, I hope more and more students join CC which will serve as a
stepping stone to be a real global citizen.
