| 커버레터/이력서 |
I am hoping to get a job in South Korea in either a public or a private school. My first choice would be to work in a public school. Below, you will find my reasons for wanting to work in a public school. However, keep in mind that I would seriously consider a job at a private school.
There are numerous reasons as to why I would like to work in a public school in South Korea. First of all, I am familiar with teaching English in the South Korean public school system. In my three years of teaching English in South Korea, one of those years was at a public high school in Gyeonggi-do. Throughout my year teaching in the public school, I taught many successful and interactive classes even though the classes were generally quite large and filled with students of extremely varying English speaking abilities. After a few weeks of trial and error, I was able to design and implement a very workable grading system. My conversational English class contributed ten percent to my students’ final English score. The grading system I implemented seemed to be embraced by students and teachers alike. I was grading my students based on class participation, and the enthusiasm of my students seemed to attest to the fact that my grading system was working well. It always seemed as though there was a lot of positive energy in my classroom. I really enjoyed my students and they seemed to really enjoy me. It seemed as though we fed off of each other and kept what I like to call a “circle of happiness” continually rolling. Something else that I really like about working at a public school, is the sense of “family” that seems to permeate throughout the day-to-day activities. I enjoy having students stop by my classroom to say hello during break times, I enjoy talking to other teachers during the lunch break, and I especially like taking part in the special activities such as the sports days and the yearly festivals.
Secondly, a job teaching English at a public school in South Korea would complement what I am currently studying. At this time, I am studying part time towards obtaining my Master of TESOL degree. I am studying through distance education, and am expected to graduate in 2010. In my past experience, I found that I had more freedom in designing my own lesson plans in public school compared to private school. That would be beneficial to me at this time since I could strive to incorporate my theoretical studies with my practical classroom methodology. In addition, within public schools, there usually seems to be many teachers who are developing themselves by furthering their own education with part time courses. In that type of situation, when many people are studying part time, the environment seems to be very supportive, motivational, and/or conducive to personal development.
The last reason as to why I would like to teach in a South Korean public school is actually not specific towards public schools, but is actually in reference to all of South Korea in general. The public transportation system in South Korea is very good; perhaps it is better to say that it is phenomenal. I continue to be amazed with how frequent and cheap all modes of public transportation are in South Korea. Throughout my worldly travels, I have not found anything like it anywhere else in the world. I am a huge fan of hiking, and thanks to the South Korean public transportation, I can easily get to almost any mountain in South Korea. Since I go hiking a lot, I have already had the luxury of hiking to every single national and provincial park in South Korea. To my best knowledge, I think there are only two county parks in Gangwon-do that I have not visited yet. It would be a safe bet to assume that those parks will be my first destination upon one of my first free weekends. The great South Korean public transportation also allows me to see other wonderful things that South Korea has to offer such as historical sites, countryside, and islands. Throughout my three years in South Korea, I have had the chance to acquire some good friends, so the public transportation system will allow us to visit each other whenever we have some free time.
As you can see, my reasons for wanting to teach English at a public school in South Korea are related to the facts that I enjoy my career, I am serious about what I am studying, and I appreciate how South Korea’s transportation infrastructure supports my recreational activities.
