Why English Meet the Teachers Tip for Success Teachers Read

North London Collegiate School Jeju

A Letter From The Principal Dear Parents, Students, Staff and Friends of NLCS Jeju I am delighted that this week the focus of our newsletter is English. Our students are following a curriculum which is in English and they are also benefiting from the study of both English Language and Literature as separate disciplines.

We understand from all recent research that communication skills are fundamentally important and so more emphasis is now placed on developing the speaking skills of all our learners in order for them to pursue their studies successfully and excel in their chosen fields once they complete their education at NLCS Jeju. Developing speaking skills enables students to perform well in classroom discussions and debates and develop their use of English in many forms. They will be in a position to give presentations and speeches and of course debate with peers. Moreover, they build self-confidence among themselves and become stronger in decision-making and problem-solving and through developing their academic English in all their curriculum areas, they are able to achieve at the highest level. Learning through talk is key and all students are encouraged to practise and speak English at all times as this develops and reinforces the skills required if they are to succeed at NLCS Jeju and of course at their future chosen universities which are usually in the US or the UK. As an international school, English is the language not only of our curriculum but also is the one language which all our students and staff have in common.

The speaking of English in School means that we are all included and no one is excluded. It also means that we are all developing our communication skills and contributing to a culture of discussion, debate, scholarship and curiosity!

Yours sincerely, Lynne Oldfield Principal

North London Collegiate School Jeju Currently the campus remains closed to all visitors and parents. All concerts/performances involving students follow closely precautionary measures - masks and social distancing etc.

We have restricted numbers in a place at any one time with no visitors or parents allowed in to events in any capacity. All events will be livestreamed so that families can watch from home. Please look out for links. Finally, some events have been cancelled or postponed and we are continually reviewing our programme to keep our community safe.

WHY ENGLISH? This week we are highlighting English and our wonderful English departments. We encourage all our students to read, learn, speak, debate, question, listen to and love English as much as we all do! Senior School Head of English - Mr. Geoff Hall shares his personal journey to a love of English language and literature and the value and importance of English to every student in our School whatever their age! He says In my first year of university, I didn’t know that I wanted to be an English teacher. I wanted to be a journalist. In my second year of university, I didn’t know that I wanted to be an English teacher. I had, by this point, been convinced I would become a lawyer. In my third year of university, I knew that I didn’t want to be a lawyer. So, what was I going to do? Deciding what subjects to choose (or not to choose) it struck me. I would teach English, and, in turn, give others a lens through which to make sense of the world.

The importance of English as a subject at school cannot be overstated. An English lesson can, conceivably, involve a discussion on any other subject studied in school.

These discussions are not mere mentions of other subjects, either. A language lesson on advertising in the media delves into the economics of advertising to better understand the purpose and audience. A literary study of J.M. Coetzee’s Waiting for the Barbarians inevitably involves a historical study of imperialism and colonialism.

Even a study of poetry, such as Carol Ann Duffy’s The World’s Wife, explores the psychology of labels. An English lesson cannot replace other subjects, but it provides a lens through which students can view and understand these subjects. It’s also evidence that these subjects exist outside of the classroom.

DIVERSITY WEEK WHY ENGLISH?

Mr. Geoff Hall

WHY ENGLISH?

North London Collegiate School Jeju

I would not have thought of becoming a journalist had I not read Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil in Year 10. But once I had read it, an interest was sparked within me and I was suddenly reading not only literature, but also not-literary texts by journalists from a variety of publications. The power of interest and influence that we find in literature and language every day is so powerful that, in my second year of university, I began sneaking into lectures for other subjects, like Economics and even Biochemistry simply because the prescribed English texts that I was reading made them sound so interesting. I left the Biochem lesson when I realised that the novel I was reading was in English. Biochemistry, it seemed, was a different language. Ultimately, I would not have become an English teacher had I not been inspired to be so many other things by so many texts and realized that the only reason that I wanted to be anything was because I had encountered it in some interesting text. And what a great shame it would have been to miss out on my great passion in life.

So, I encourage students to ask - Why do I have to study English at school? How is Shakespeare going to help me later on in life? I could tell them that a study of the language is important in mastering it, that mastering it is important in accessing the curriculums of the top universities in the world, that an ability to communicate in English allows one to navigate the globalised financial, scientific and academic worlds. Instead, I tell them of the infinite possibilities that exist in the literature studied, the development of critical thinking that occurs in studies of non-literary texts, and that a study of English may, one day, just make one realise: “I want to be an astrophysicist!�

If you need any more persuasion of the joys of English language and literature Mr. Hall - and any of his team - are always ready to convince you!

English in the Junior School Ms. Meghan Peters

North London Collegiate School Jeju

English is key to accessing our entire curriculum from Reception upwards. Ms Meghan Peters is our wonderful new Junior School Head of English. Meghan came to us from a school in Kenya where she worked as both Head of KS2 and Head of Literacy. She is a lifelong reader, a lifelong lover of books and this led her to teach and to share that passion.

Meghan is amazed at the students in the Junior School. “They just love writing! Each one writes so much more than they are asked to do. They are the most passionate students of writing that I have met. Their enthusiasm is incredible. They are all voracious readers, too.

Each class competes with others to be the best read class! They check how many words each have read on a weekly basis and aim to beat that! This is teamwork in a very positive way!�

North London Collegiate School Jeju

Meghan’s Tips For Parents Meghan is a champion of the Talk For Reading programme which is used to great effect across the Junior School. ” It’s one of the most effective ways of expanding a student’s vocabulary. It feels organic not forced as they learn this way. Through this programme they learn to structure all different types of writing. They grow their skills and their confidence levels rise exponentially so by Year 6, as they leave the Junior School they are independent, fearless, creative writers!”

Meghan advises parents to help foster a true love for reading for pleasure - not just as a means to an end.

• Listen to your child read - as often as they want!

• Talk to your children about what they are reading as they progress through levels and become independent readers • Ask teachers about our Accelerated Reader and Talk For Reading programme so you know HOW your child is learning • Show your children that you love to read!

• Visit bookshops together • Visit libraries together • Encourage your child to read everything and everywhere • Variety is key - Fiction, Non-fiction, Journalism, Cereal packets - it all counts!

Meghan is reading “The Island of the Sea Women “ by Lisa See, set in Jeju, and is excited to discover English language writing by Korean writers.

Meet the Teachers

North London Collegiate School Jeju

We are proud to introduce some of our English teachers around School. One thing that unites them all is a love of the English language and what it can achieve. They are all passionate about teaching and passionate about reading.Talk to your English teacher - or to any English teacher. Talking, listening, reading, debating will all help you master the language.

Senior School English teacher, Ms. Caroline Sannegadu who has been here at NLCS Jeju for almost 6 years with her husband and two sons, tells us why English Teacher is the perfect job I never planned to teach! After university I needed to make some money to go travelling with and joined a company that placed people in schools to work as cover teachers. Well, I was sent to work in schools with some of the highest levels of deprivation in England. My first experience in the classroom saw me (with not so much as five minutes of teacher training) put in front of thirty GCSE students and being told not to worry! I absolutely loved it and began to research routes into teaching shortly afterwards.

Ms. Caroline Sannegadu Senior School

North London Collegiate School North London Jeju Collegiate School Jeju

Why English? My love of literature meant this wasn't even a question! Books, poetry and plays all have something in common - they attempt to illuminate human experience. We are able to both see ourselves in what we read and appreciate the lives of others, which broadens our outlook. I find it fascinating that works of literature, written hundreds of years ago, are as relevant to our lives today as more modern texts.

I needed a new challenge and new adventure after some time teaching in the UK. NLCS Jeju appealed because of the attention given to helping students discover new skills and interests outside the classroom, coupled with striving for the very best levels of attainment.

Ms. Louise Symonds Senior School

North London Collegiate School Jeju

Ms. Louise Symonds came into teaching with a background of Linguistics and a career in the UK Foreign Office. Like many of our teachers her primary motivation in moving to teaching was to make a difference. “Language is a powerful tool - it can make a real difference.” When she moved into teaching her three children were all at home and she saw how important language was as they grew up and into adults (in fact one of her children is now training to be a teacher!)

NLCS Jeju is Ms. Symonds’ first international teaching post and she has not been disappointed. “I love everything about Korea. I have loved discovering everything about our School, our ethos, our students - and especially the commitment of our students.They are always willing to ask, and to take advice. They value teaching. The students seek out teachers and their skills and knowledge. They are not passive learners.”

Ms. Symonds is particularly keen on teaching Gothic novels, dystopian novels set on the edges of society. Two of her favourite books are Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and Tess of the D’Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy. She also urges all students to devour as much non fiction as they can. As a champion and mentor of our student debating teams she understands the value of talking, of practising speeches and listening to yourself. “Debaters all seem confident. They know what they are talking about - but they weren’t always that way!”

Tips For Success • • • • • •

Practice language Read aloud (it’s a skill!)

Have lots of conversations with everyone!

Read poetry, novels and non fiction Don’t be afraid to try!

Ms. Katrina Daniels-Samasa Senior School Ms. Daniels-Samasa has spearheaded many important projects in School - such as working with the Cultural Awareness Committee on Diversity Week - as well as being an inspirational Senior School English teacher. What brought her to NLCS Jeju?

“This year I celebrate my 20th year as an educator and as a proud graduate of the highly touted College of Education at Michigan State University. It helped shape my beliefs as an international educator. Through my studies, it was reinforced that teaching is never simply a job or career; it is a passion that is perpetually developing. And I was lucky to discover it as a passion early in my life.

As a child, growing up in America, I learned from my mother that the art of language is important and when students become masters of this art, it can unleash unimaginable opportunities. My high school and undergraduate Literature studies introduced me to the world of English as a subject and it piqued my interest. I excelled and as a young learner, so I became a tutor and during that time I first understood that helping others to develop their critical analysis in English Literature skills was fulfilling, but inspiring those around me was equally if not more of an accomplishment. Many teachers can transfer information, but to be able to inspire in addition to sharing knowledge is my goal no matter where I teach.

When I completed my undergraduate studies, I never imagined that I would be teaching abroad, definitely not in South Korea. After my 7 year stint in the UAE, I decided that it would be more adventurous and challenging if I pushed myself out of my comfort zone and teach in the land that my great grandfather once toured. It is never comfortable to be different from those around you, but it can be a rewarding and enlightening cultural exchange if you are open minded. I’d always imagine that my great grandfather would be proud to see that I’m now living in Jeju. I always hope to motivate students to realize their full potential.

Ultimately, I am honoured that I have the opportunity to learn from the staff and students of the NLCS Jeju community. When it is time for me to leave, I will take many life lessons with me, but until that time, I hope to continue to have a positive impact.”

Ms. Justine Whitney Junior School Year 5 and 6 English Teacher

North London Collegiate School Jeju

Ms. Justine Whitney is an English teacher in the Junior School. She loves teaching English as much as today as she did almost 20 years ago when she began her teaching career.

She began in an inner city Midlands Primary School. It was a tricky experience but very rewarding in many ways. Ms. Whitney moved to Andalucia, Spain where she worked firstly as a Literacy Coordinator then English Coordinator. Her move to NLCS Jeju was prompted by an interest in Korea and an attraction to the NLCS name and reputation.

Ms. Whitney says “I am so excited every day to just teach a subject I love. Every day the students amaze me! Their speed, their accuracy, their hard work. It’s impossible to believe that they are not native English speakers a lot of the time. Our students really are exceptional!”

Ms. Whitney is a fan of the Talk for Writing programme which is used in the Junior School.

“It provides so many opportunities for drama, for speech, for debate. We love teaching it here because the action is all by students. They are hugely involved in all elements of each lesson.”

Her favourite book is The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by CS Lewis. This year they started teaching the book with a giant game of Hide and Seek throughout the School.This really engaged and stimulated the students so they were immediately ready to enjoy the book. Ms. Whitney also recommends Holes by Louis Sachar and Skellig by David Allmond.

But reading anything is important. “The favourite part of lessons for me is Guided Reading.

We all have our own copies of the book and we all read together. We read, we enjoy and we have a jolly good chat about what’s happening! The students love both the reading and the associated activities!”

A final word “When the students go into Senior School I hope they take with them a love of reading. Today in class one of my students became a Word Millionaire. I hope they are all Word Millionaires when they leave!”

Ms. Whitney is reading The Unexpected Return of Josephine Fox by Claire Gradidge.

Theory of Knowledge And English Once you begin studying Theory of Knowledge in the IBDP programme the value of understanding English language and literature becomes even more important. Mr. Michael Dillon shares his views on just why the study of the millions of texts in English is quite so important Have you ever wondered why we study literature or what we are really learning when we do? Or what makes one person’s opinion of a literary work better than someone else’s?

If you have, then you are already thinking like a TOK student.

But studying English isn’t just about studying literature. What about language? Can we really understand something that was written 400 years ago? Does knowing the language really mean we can understand the context of the person who wrote it? When you study Shakespeare can you really understand what he is writing about just because you’ve mastered ‘thou’ and ‘thee’ for you, ‘methinks’ for I think. What about the world that he was writing in?

Is something being lost?

And that doesn’t even include translations from one language to another. Is the protagonist from Camus’ L’Etranger a stranger or an outsider? And what is the difference? Is the kanun in Ismail Kadare’s Broken April the same thing as the canon in English? If so, why is one about law and the other about literature?

And why do we even need a literary canon? Who decides who gets included in the canon?

Is Shakespeare really the most important writer in English? Is Haruki Murakami an important writer because his work is translated into many languages or because he is considered an important writer in his native Japan?

If you think I’m asking a lot of questions, then that is another aspect of TOK. It isn’t a subject at all. It is a way of thinking about other subjects or indeed about the world. So, to be a TOK student, you need to ask questions. And to be an English student, you need to ask questions. Questions about the world, about school and about what you study. So next time you are thinking about TOK, don’t just ask those questions about science or visual arts, ask them about English. Your teachers are waiting for you.

Elysia Bae My NLCS Jeju life in books

North London Collegiate School Jeju

Elysia Bae is Chair of the English Society. Reading has long been her passion - and she shares with us here some of her favourite books and authors since she joined our School in Year 4. This is truly inspirational, Elysia!

“I was always quite the bookworm. The reason why I had to get glasses before I even enrolled in Elementary School was not because of television but for the fact that I would read non-stop for days or weeks. I can proudly say that who I am now and what I am able to do (academically and general knowledge-wise) is all thanks to the books I’ve read so far. Ever since coming to NLCS Jeju, I can trace back in time all the books I’ve read. I had ‘phases’ every year (sometimes more than one phase) with the types of books I read, and I’d like to share some with you!

Year 4 - I would just about read anything that was written in diary form — whether it be Dork Diaries or the Diary of a Wimpy Kid, I’d devour the book in one sitting. This was also when I got into a habit of writing my own diary entry in English, which actually ended up helping me a lot in finding my own flair in writing.

Year 5 - When I read the first book of the Alex Rider series, ‘Stormbreaker’, it was as if a new world opened up before me. The story of a teenage spy was just too awesome of a concept that I couldn’t stop myself from finishing the whole series in less than a month (Yes, I binge-read. Better than binging on Netflix in my opinion but do challenge me on that). After reading every book of the series at least three times, I ended up reading all the spy-novels in the Junior School Library that I had to borrow some from the Senior Library.

Year 6 - After my spy-novel addiction faded, I was intrigued by anything dystopian or fantasy-related. This was when Percy Jackson, the Maximum Ride series, and Maze Runner placed high up in my Favourite Books list. But it wasn’t just ‘fantasy’ I read about. I had an increasing fondness for wolves (Go Noro!), which, of course, meant that I was reading some non-fiction books on their behaviour, habitat, and real-life stories of humans and wolves living together!

Year 7- Another series I fell in love with was Lemony Snicket’s ‘A Series of Unfortunate Events’. The approach of the author by using metafiction (i.e. breaking the Fourth Wall) easily became my favourite style of writing. I even had a short ritual with the Snicket books — I would read the blurb (which had Snicket’s letter to Beatrice, his love) then I imagined what the story would be about. Only after that, I would start the actual story. Picking out bits and pieces of the small trail of hints that Snicket left for the readers made me feel like I was one of the Baudelaire children (just much much more fortunate than them).

Year 8 - While I did continue reading a lot, during Year 8, I spent most of my time writing my own stories. I wrote poems, short stories, and scripts by drawing inspiration from books I’ve read in the past. This was one of the best years for me since I got to find a passion for writing creative responses to the things that inspired me.

Year 9 - I guess this was my 'darkest' phase yet. Nothing piqued my interest more than eerie horror books like the 'Lie Tree' or other books by Anthony Horowitz. I also started picking up psychological horror stories when the ghastly, spirit scare was getting a bit repetitive. A book that really blew me away was 'Twisted' by Andrew E. Kaufman. I won't say anything to spoil the surprise, but let me just emphasise the fact that I finished reading the 336 page book in 2 hours.

Year 10 -This is where I have to thank Mr. Hill for letting us choose the books that we want to study during class. I did some close-reading on different plays by Shakespeare/ Miller and got to see them in a new light. I still continued to hold a passion for murder mysteries so James Patterson's Murder Woman Club, as well as some one-off novels like 'The Girl On The Train', was my go-to at the bookstore.

Year 11- At the start of the year, I was ready to accept the fact that I wouldn't be able to read as many books as before. Still, I did get to reread some classics like Jane Eyre and Frankenstein in class. But when the COVID-19 pandemic hit and we were under lockdown, I made it my duty to finish at least one book per week and I did manage to achieve that goal!

Elysia Bae

Year 12 - My passion for psychology has definitely been supported by my reading.

Recently, I've read a book called 'A Man's Search for Meaning' by Viktor Frankl. The author was a prisoner at a Nazi concentration camp and he writes about his experiences and how he coped with the aftermaths of the traumatic events through psychotherapy.

It's a must-read for anyone who is interested in viewing their life in a more positive and optimistic light. Also, being an English Literature HL student, I am able to expand my reading spectrum by getting myself to read books by authors from all across the world.

Student Work

Where does this study of English start and where does it lead? Here we showcase examples of the English in School from our Early Years students learning the basics to a finely honed argument comparing social alienation in classical literature with modern fiction.

Reception - Writing A love of English starts young here at NLCS Jeju. We encourage all our students to be thinking and planning in English from the earliest years. Reception have been making story maps to help them retell The Gingerbread Man. This is a lovely piece of work by Wonyeop.

Thank you, Ms. Charlotte Baxendale for sharing this.

Year 5 Poetry - Inspired by Narnia This lovely work is on display in Ms. Whitney’s classroom in the Junior School.

Year 6 Poem Inspired by Grace Nichols

North London Collegiate School Jeju

A beautiful example of Year 6 poetry. The Year 6 children have been studying the poems of Grace Nichols, who writes very fondly about her childhood memories of Guyana.

Jerry Rim, HL English student and Head Boy shares an example of the exceptional writing that helps our students achieve amazing results after their years of study. It’s wonderful to see what our students achieve as they prepare to study with the finest minds at elite universities around the world.

An exploration of alienation in J.M. Coetzee’s Waiting for the Barbarians and Sophocles’ Oedipus Rex. Writers of two literary works, Oedipus Rex and Waiting for the Barbarians, both protagonists experience social alienation at some point within their fictional narratives, despite the drastic differences in settings. In this essay, the authors’—Coetzee and Sophocles—depictions of social alienation would be comparatively analysed, discussing the similarities and differences between the two. Click Here

TEACHERS

North London Collegiate School Jeju

Doctor Maxton Karamalla Our teaching community prizes lifelong learning.They are always seeking to learn more about their subjects, to challenge themselves and to enhance their teaching practice. Many of our teachers have Masters and others already have Doctorates.

It requires commitment, courage and application to pursue such studies while teaching full time. We congratulate Mr. Maxton Karamalla, Languages Teacher and Head of Year 8. He has just been awarded his Doctorate by Royal Holloway College, London after six years of study while working full time. His subject matter is the fascinating blend of Japanese and French. He was able to combine two languages he loves as he analyses the work of Aki Shimazaki - a Japanese writer who writes in French. He addresses the mystery of Japan to the French it is still unattainable and fascinating.There is also an element which is relevant to his life here in Korea as there are multiple references to Japanese Koreans and Koreans living in Japan.

A complete polyglot - Dr Karamalla speaks French, Spanish, Japanese, Italian and more!

Doctor Karamalla says “I wanted to keep my finger on the academic pulse and really challenge myself and my own learning.Things change all the time and there is so much more to learn with languages. It keeps me up to date for my classes - especially for IB SL and HL. I really want to help our students understand the links between Asia and Europe in language, culture and more.

If I can encourage our students to feel they are linguists then I will have succeeded!

My work is on a writer who excelled in a second language. Our students are doing just that as they approach IGCSEs and the IB in English. “ The next step is to have the doctorate published and we all look forward to seeing it in our library!
