Why I want to teach in korea To have the opportunity to teach English abroad in Asia would be a great honor. One of my goals in my life is to live, work and be apart of a community in another country like korea. I can re-call back in 2009, the year I received my Masters degree, I told myself I would love to travel to abroad and utilize my degree through teaching English. I knew that I wanted to teach to those who would greatly appreciate my services. But most importantly I wanted to teach because I love education. I love the knowledge that can be obtained through education. The thought of being apart of this community of people who appreciate knowledge is amazing to me. The most rewarding experience I could have is to have the opportunity to teach ESL in korea. My educational philosophy is that every child born in this world has the right to be educated. Children can be encouraged to learn and grow by providing the basic fundamental foundation to appropriately develop experiences where all children can progress and succeed in life under the in nurturing, secured environment. I believe that each child, who is born into this world of ours, should have access to education. As an educator I can create the necessary foundation in order to recognize children's varied abilities, needs, and learning styles. We can all agree that as humans, we do have the ability to learn anything, its a very natural characteristic to have. It is up to teacher to observe the students to determine their academic development strengths and weakness, to provide the appropriate tools to help direct them to the correct path. I believe that in order to have great students, you must have a great instructor As a teacher my goal is to develop a curriculum around the students creates and motivates the students so that to possibility for the child to learn things relevant to everyday life. The lesson plans I will present to the classroom incorporates themes integrated in the students? projects, group activities, and individual work in order to help the student excel in the course. By creating assignments that opens the door for input, students can create and set desirable goals that will make the activities more valuable towards their learning growth. When the students have the capability to own the curriculum, they will become more motivated to work harder to become proficient in the skill necessary to reach their goal. When the voice of each student is expressed, the students leave with a sense of security and respect for their instructors, peers, the entire educational institution, and our society. I enjoy experiencing cultures different from my own. I feel that is one of the many reasons I like to travel the world. I believe one of the reasons why multi-cultural societies are amazing like, the united states of America, is because of the accepting attitude towards diversity in the country. Walking through my neighborhood in East Los Angeles, I experience music from latin america, food from korea, and fabric from Bangladesh on the same street. As an African American woman, I have experienced both amazing and terrible things because of racism, which is very common with extremely ignorant people worldwide. Though I cannot be too upset that some people and culture are comfortable in their ignorant ways of thinking, I can only hope and pray that one day they will be released from their own inadequate quality and insecurities. America has a negative history from the genocide of the Native Americans (non-European people) to enslave of African Americans and Latin Americans, yet because of that horrible history of cruelty, people of all ethnicity in the United States, fought for their rights. I feel that I have a connection to koreans. The korean experienced with the Japan horrible enslavement past, is similar to the African American experience in the United States. Our similar history was enslavement and faith is what connects koreans and me together. I am proud to say that I live in korea-town in Los Angeles, California and we are very proud of our community and country. For me to have this opportunity to teach, study and live in korea is the greatest experience I could have.
