Echo Beach is a fictional beach that resides along the western coast of the Korean peninsula. For those land-locked in cities and tied to the long hours of work and domestic duties, it is a place of fantasy. In reality, it may also be a beach they love and one that they may never get to visit, remaining far away in time.For some, it may be a shoreline that conjures up thoughts, desires, and expectations of a long-awaited summer vacation, the notion of fun with family, and a time to relax and enjoy life. For others, it may be a place where worries can be cast to the wind, pain can be swallowed into the depths of the sea, sorrows can sink into the sand, and they can stand in solitude.Aside from the fantasy and the imagery that Echo Beach brings to mind, and the desire and pull it has for city-dwellers, the images chosen for this collection are those that stand, perhaps, in stark contrast to the above. They do this by not only illustrating how the reality of this fantasy and desire may play out, but the reality of what it must play out alongside – the flotsam and jetsam of refuse.In this collection, David Kent captures a series of images that serve to represent a composite of South Korean beach culture at one specific point in time. The photographs do not depict any one beach in particular. All images were taken in the early morning, and in a number of locations along the western shores of South Korea.
Key to the provision of education in the era of the fourth industrial revolution is understanding the use and applicability of various technologies with 21st century learners, as well as being able to assess the usability, implementation, and evaluation of any technological tool that an instructor (or learner) may choose to use. As such, this text aims to not only introduce teachers of English to speakers of other languages (TESOL) to the theories behind this topic, but, more importantly, it seeks to present a range of practical means of providing digital language learning and teaching in ways that can benefit instructors and pupils alike. Of significance, content has been specifically developed by both native and non-native English language teachers, to encompass a range of methods and approaches, as well as a variety of linguistic outcomes suitable to a range of teaching and learning contexts. These include that of young learners through to young adults, and all those undergoing life-long learning. As such, the book is an essential read for any educator, student, administrator, or stakeholder involved with the TESOL industry, particularly those who want to understand how pre-service and in-service teachers are honing their technological teaching craft, and how digital language learning and teaching currently, and will potentially, impact the educational sector.
Blogs and wikis are different to other websites because they demand interaction. They revolve around information sharing, and allow students to produce content rather than consume it, and react to existing content and influence it. The authorship process gives students a sense of ownership and responsibility to the content that they develop for an audience, as they work together as part of a learning community. They also teach students about personal learning environments, and lend themselves easily to socio-constructivist models of teaching and learning, while providing an avenue for differentiation and the tailoring of instruction to student needs. Throughout this book, the manner in which blogs and wikis are developed is considered while taking into account their pedagogical promise when teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL). An overview of instructional strategies, tasks, and activities is provided, along with considerations necessary for applying these tools successfully. Also included are tutorials, photocopiable material, evaluation techniques, and a comprehensive list of resources.
