Teach Away Telegram - April 2011

Teach Away Telegram - April 2011 Spring is upon us! And while the weather changes and we look forward to more time outside, it also means that summer is just around the corner, bringing an end to another school year for many of you! We know that things can be particularly busy around this time of year, so we hope you will sit back and relax, and enjoy the latest issue of the Teach Away Telegram.We are pleased to report that all Teach Away teachers in Japan are safe and sound, though the country continues to deal with the aftermath of recent events. This month, we are featuring a story from a Teach Away teacher who was in Japan during the earthquake. We also look at common misconceptions about living overseas, and try to dispel some of the myths. With report card time looming closer and closer, you may be interested in reading more about assessment practices around the world.- The Teach Away TeamIn this issue:A Teacher Story: Surviving the Earthquake and Tsunami in JapanCommon Misconceptions about Living AbroadStuden t Assessment Around The WorldSurviving the Earthquake and Tsunami in JapanOn March 11th 2011, Japan experienced one of the largest earthquakes recorded in recent history. The subsequent 10-metre tsunami devastated the northeastern coast of the nation, which continues to lie in ruins. The hardest hit prefectures include, Fukushima, Miyagi, and Iwate. This is the story from one Teach Away teacher living in a coastal town in Iwate when the quake and tsunami struck.Joseph Hinds, a 27 year-old Canadian, departed for his Assistant Language Teacher post in northern Japan in the Fall of 2010. Before the quake of March 11th, Joseph had experienced multiple minor tremors, as is the norm, in fault-line teetering Japan. He had become accustomed to the short stoppages in the workday before returning to the daily routine of teaching English in Japanese public schools. However, the March 11th earthquake was different.  â€œThere were alarms and announcements being played throughout the city, but I didn’t understand them. Shortly after the earthquake, electricity, water, and gas had been shut off.” Usually, Japan’s structural stability can withstand shakes up to around 6.0 without this occurring. “I saw many people walking on the streets going in the same direction. I suspected they were evacuating,” something only practiced with the severest of disasters.“A random Japanese lady driving past me stopped to see if I was okay. The woman had just seen on the news that tsunami waters were flooding the city, though my area remained largely unaffected. I didn’t understand the rest of the conversation in Japanese. Cell phone lines were busy and I couldn’t get through to anyone.” One remark from the woman that Joseph could understand:“I have never experienced an earthquake like this in my entire life!”Joseph decided to bunker down in his semi-safe home for the night. The next morning, he drove to a Japanese friend’s printing company for more information. Other f oreign teachers had also congregated on this local print shop, quickly turning it into a refuge from the disaster. Their only access to the outside world was a computer powered by a car battery, allowing them to access the internet and inform family of their conditions. “We all spent the night at the print shop office, sharing what little food and water we had.”The next day at the grocery stores, “people were only buying a little more than usual and seemed to be mindful if there would be enough left of other people. Everyone inside the store was calm and collected.”As Joseph left the store, another car pulled over to offer assistance. A teacher from where he works offered him a ride to an evacuation area, making Joseph “feel safe and well taken care of by the Japanese people.” Although dealing with the ordeals of the earthquake, tsunami, and impending nuclear scenario, Japan’s solidarity truly shines in these times.“The earthquake and tsunami reveal the respectful an d polite culture instilled in Japanese people.”Joseph is now in a safe area, and is eager to help Japan recover from this disaster in whatever way he can. He continues to be humbled and grateful for the solidarity demonstrated by the Japanese people.Common Misconceptions about Living AbroadWorking and living overseas brings about many questions and concerns, especially for those who have not ventured abroad before. Common questions include: What will a typical work week look like? Will I have a support network? Is it safe?As every country around the world has its own unique culture, each will have different expectations in the workplace. A Monday-to-Friday, 9AM-5PM work week may not be the norm in many countries. It’s quite common in some countries to work from Sunday-to-Thursday, 7AM-3PM, or even have 4-day workweeks. That is why being flexible and adaptable to new situations is vital for any overseas position. Here, we aim to address some of the more recent questions and conce rns in the following regions:JapanThe triple-disasters of the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear concerns in Japan have caused alarm with many of those who were recently eager to teach in the country’s public school system. Although a tragedy, Japan’s infrastructure is built to recover from disasters. Much of the country is still unaffected, and teachers are still being sought in those areas.United Arab EmiratesAlthough in the Middle East, the UAE is not involved with the recent unrest in neighbouring countries. The affluent areas of Dubai and Abu Dhabi extend beyond the reach of the political issues plaguing other parts of the Middle East. Teach Away teachers have reported no immediate concerns on Teach Away’s Facebook pageChinaOften regarded as a country shrouded in mystery, China is home to a growing expatriate population. Despite being a Communist nation, locals and foreigners in China enjoy many of the same freedoms common in other parts of the developed world. Internet cens orship, for example, has decreased significantly in recent years. As well, modern amenities are not exclusive to Shanghai and Beijing. Many of the smaller cities in China are quite large by Western standards, with populations of 2 to 7 million people, and offer the same allure of larger cities with less congestion, pollution, and a reduced cost of living.KoreaSince the Korean War in the 1950’s, tensions have continued to linger between South and North Korea. A 2 kilometre wide demilitarized zone has separated the nations since. However, North Korea continues to cross into the mainstream news and raise concerns. The Western world views any news stemming from North Korea as possible threats of another World War, but this has been occurring since the end of the Korean War in 1953. South Korea is a first-world nation with a prosperous future, stemming from large electronics and automotive markets. Hence, South Korea’s continued need for English teachers to help develop their interna tional commerce.Vietnam/ThailandSoutheast Asia is notorious for its low cost of living, making it a popular destination for travelers on a budget. Working in Vietnam or Thailand, teachers do not necessarily make more money, but they can expect their dollar to stretch a little further. As is true of any country, researching the cost of living and the typical costs of groceries, utilities, and everyday expenses can help when trying to budget for your new life abroad.Student Assessment Around the WorldWhen considering a teaching placement overseas, common questions might include what kind of curriculum is used, what can be expected in a typical school day, and how students are assessed.Recent studies comparing student ability levels around the world have drawn attention to worldwide student assessment methods and their efficacy in compiling meaningful results. Historically, educational assessment consisted mainly of tests and quizzes, as these methods are easy to standardize and quanti fy. During the industrial age, education emphasized knowledge of basic skills and being on par with baselines.However, now that more is known and understood about learning styles and multiple intelligences, teachers are able to employ methods such as differentiating instruction and creating student-centred learning models. These different teaching techniques have necessitated the use of different assessment methods, as older models of assessment were proving inadequate.Indeed, although there is a focus on testing students in order to compare educational outcomes between countries, many developed and developing nations are opting for student-centred models and assessment methods. While some developed countries are reluctant to make the shift to a less teacher-centric classroom style, education reforms in developing countries like Malaysia are demonstrating that assessment is changing rapidly.While key performance indicators and learning objectives may vary from region to region, the major trend in assessment is creating tasks and opportunities for students to demonstrate their learning. Rather than assessing with standardized testing, which does not allow for multiple intelligences or differential learning styles, educators are making a concerted effort to allow for more non-traditional modes of assessment. Project-based learning, centres and workshops, culminating activities, and performance pieces are increasingly common in both elementary and secondary school settings.While the use of creative assessment methods is becomming more popular, students are improving in academic achievement. Teachers now have more options, and when teaching overseas, a wider perspective on education can be gained. Teachers with a flexible and adaptable attitude can learn about new assessment techniques overseas - a gain for teachers and students alike.

Should I Major in Journalism

Should I Major in Journalism Inquiring minds want to know what is it like to major in journalism? Well, if youve got one of those particularly inquisitive minds, this area of study would probably fit you perfectly. A field where the sole purpose is to learn about new things and share them with the world, students who are naturally curious and determined to get answers to open questions should be more than ready to take this on. Certain challenges come along with it, however. Obstacles regarding boundaries and knowing when to keep reaching and when to recognize limits are explored. Depending on the area of journalism you want to go into, various skills concerning writing and/or broadcasting are covered as well. Is this a world you can handle? Skills Needed: Journalists basically need to be unafraid. Hounding sources to get stories completed, especially when those sources dont want to speak to you, is a huge effort that demands persistence on a whole new level. Students who wish to study journalism must be prepared to go to extreme lengths for answers and never get nervous and if you do get nervous, you need the strength to push it aside and keep moving anyway. All of this may make journalism seem like an exhausting and dangerous marathon, but there are some calm aspects of it, too. Youll have to do your fair share of research to thoroughly comprehend the background behind stories before you tackle them. Your classes will give you endless opportunities to prove your attentive research skills, bravery, and genuine curiosity. You may also want to check out these tips on things to focus on as a journalism major. Lessons Learned: Being a journalism major will teach you how to spot a really good story. Reporters are not always assigned pieces in fact, they are more often asked to pitch their own. Coming up with a solid pitch is a tactic that takes time to understand. Journalism classes will help you discover what you should be looking for on a regular basis and what separates an incredibly intriguing story idea from a mundane one. You want to find ideas that people will want to read/hear about, not ideas that will just get you by for another week. Majoring in journalism also means you will learn how to structure stories. There is a method to hooking your audience in and then keeping them engaged, plotting the right amount of quotes and facts at the right times. Moreover, a very specific type of writing is used - not the typical style you use in English essays or learn through formal writing tutoring. Finally, you will learn interviewing skills how to come up with the best questions that will get the best answers out of people, how to deal with people who dont want to talk at all, how to land great interviews in the first place, etc. Together, all of these lessons will go hand-in-hand and eventually show you what being a journalist is all about. Post-Grad Opportunities: It has never been the best-paying market, but there are certainly several positions out there. Many of them arent glamorous, and often your first journalism job out of college will not be at all glamorous, but it will be something. Signing up to be a reporter means you will, in fact, be reporting. You could do stories for a small business journal, website articles for a T.V. station, advertorials for a magazine what most aspiring journalists end up doing to get started is freelance writing. This can get you the opportunity to be published in a variety of places the catch is, you will get paid little to nothing. Yet, thats the main road to kicking off a journalism career. Its all about getting your byline out there and eventually getting picked up by the right publication. If you are hoping to be a T.V. reporter, start searching for tiny markets. Random stations you probably never have heard of will be more likely to take on someone like you who is fresh out of school and has never officially been on T.V. before. Just make sure you have taped some good reels of your broadcasting skills so you can show them what youre made of. The journalism field, like many other fields, is about working your way up. Impress the right person, however, and you may get pushed up the promotional ladder quicker than you thought. You may also want to check out this post on thejournalism career experiences of a Northwestern University Alumnusto get an idea of what a major in journalism can do for your career.

Private Tutoring Does it Guarantee Long-Term Academic Success

Private Tutoring Does it Guarantee Long-Term Academic Success Hiring Personal Tutors for Private Tuition: Is it the Best Way to Succeed? ChaptersSo Can It Actually Guarantee Academic Success?Every day more and more people are choosing to start private tuition. This is for all sorts of reasons, from learning a new skill to passing an exam at school.However, there are many people that are considering paying for home or online tutoring, but are unsure as to whether it’s worth taking the plunge. Factors like price, time and travel can all impact people’s choices, leaving them sitting on the fence.With the right kind of tutoring, and a real motivation to learn, there is no reason why private tuition shouldn’t be a long-term solution. If both parties can put in the time and effort, you will be on your way to academic success.Tutoring can help students thrive at school and prepare for exams. Source: VisualhuntIf, for example, you receive tutoring for your upcoming maths GCSE exam, you can use your personal tutoring to a massive advantage, and you will most likely come out with a much better grade than if you had no tut oring whatsoever.In the same way, having personal lessons in French in the run up to your A-Level oral exam will prepare you in a way that you can't really find in the classroom, because teachers simply can't provide the one-to-one attention that a private tutor can.But exams are often short-term issues. Once they're over, students might decide that that's enough, and they can go ahead and forget everything now!In this respect, tutoring as a long-term solution and a guarantee of success for the future relies heavily on how much time a student is willing to put in, and how long they can afford to pay for.It does very much depend on student motivation as to whether private tutorials can be a long-term success. If a student is willing to learn, and perhaps change their attitude to certain subjects or alleviate a mental block, then home tutoring is a recipe for great accomplishments.But we can’t ignore the issue of money. Tutoring is a very competitive market and can get quite costly â€" especially if you want an experienced and skilled teacher. It’s up to you to decide if it’s worth paying for and investing in your education.Long-term success is ideal when students plan to carry a subject forward to post-16 study or to university. Tutoring at earlier ages can therefore ignite the confidence and open-mindedness needed to continue with study and achieve success in the future.It is your tutor's job to provide private tuition to a standard that will not only get you through your courses and exams, but also to inspire a new interest, or cultivate a skill.You might be bogged down with your biology homework, or trying to get your head around history â€" if your tutor can encourage interest and excitement towards a subject that you find challenging, this will help to maintain these feelings on a long-term basis, and will allow for success in the future too.It is becoming more and more common for parents to hire private tutors for their children â€" sometimes for mu ltiple subjects too. So we can see that people are willing to put the money in and invest in their child’s education, now more than ever before.This says quite a lot about the national education system in the UK. The demand for tutors UK is at an all-time high, and students are becoming more aware that they have potential that is not always being fulfilled in the classroom.It is only natural, then, that parents and students are seeking home tuition in order to fill in the gaps that national education doesn’t seem to be tending to. It could be as simple as a child falling behind in maths and struggling to catch up again, or just a general lack of support in a tricky subject.The classroom can be a challenging atmosphere for many students. Source: VisualhuntWith classrooms becoming more heavily populated, and teachers having more to manage in their job roles, it's nearly impossible for each child to receive the individual care and attention they need in order to get the best grades possible.This is exactly why school children, particularly of secondary school age, are struggling to keep up if they fall behind, and feel they need extra help outside of school in order to thrive, and sometimes just to tread water.For some people, tutoring is a short-term solution to simply pass an exam or complete a piece of coursework. But for many, it is about cultivating skills and building up knowledge that will have long-term, positive effects.Students ideally need a long-term solution to their academic struggles, and with subjects they find particularly challenging. For many pupils of younger ages, these are subjects that they have to continue with for a few more years, so the goal of private tutoring is usually not just a short-term fix, but an investment in a student's future.Be sure to think about your child's safety when employing a tutor for home tuition or online tutoring.

But it is easy to see how much private tutoring can benefit a student’s results when the right amount of time and effort is put in.There are many things a private tutor can provide that can’t be offered by the national education system, and that will improve a student’s academic progress, such as:One-on-one attention and supportImproving a student’s attitude towards a challenging subjectImproving confidence and self-esteemCreating a relaxed and positive learning environmentEncouraging the student to ask questions and speak upIndividualised preparation for exams and applicati onsSo as you can see, there are so many perks and benefits to having a private tutor, whether it’s online via video chat or in person.Expensive as home tutors can be, it’s something that does need to be considered when the national education system isn’t doing enough for the individual student’s needs. Only the few can afford private education, so there are many students struggling in the state system who need more personalised help.Private tuition, though pricey, can offer some of the perks of private education at a fraction of the cost - something to consider for your child’s education in the long-term.Students don’t all learn the same way. When a state school classroom has on average 30 children in it, it’s impossible for each child to get the attention and personalised teaching that they need to succeed.For this reason alone, paying for home tutoring means your child can receive the teaching they need at the pace that works best for them. This is the foundation for building up a great knowledge and academic confidence which will continue to develop over time.There are so many situations where private tutoring is beneficial to a student’s education. For starters, it’s a great way of helping shy children open up and become more confident with their school work. They might be falling behind in class because they are outshone by other students, or because they are too scared to speak up.The most notable recent growth in the private tutoring industry is in primary education. Parents seem to be recognising where their children are struggling at school, and are actively investing in the future of their education by getting extra help early on.One to one tuition can therefore help students with their confidence and self-esteem on a long-term basis, so it’s often worth investing in â€" especially at an early age - to combat nerves and anxiety towards school and the classroom environment.For students that are already doing well at school, private tutoring can ensure that the student is prepared for their exams and fine-tune the smaller details that could mean the difference between the upper grade boundaries.For students applying for entrance exams or for university, tutoring can be a worthwhile investment for their further education and academic career, which many students and parents feel is worth spending the money on as it will have a big pay-off later on in life.Tutoring from a younger age can improve understanding and confidence. Source: VisualhuntIf you are looking to learn a new language, or need to improve one you’re already studying, then one-on-one tutoring is really worth considering. Having private teaching from a native speaker who can give you the right attention and support is not easy to find in a group or class - so tutoring can be the best value for your money!Make sure you are opting for private tutoring for the right reasons. Cramming in an hour or two with a tutor right before an exam is probably not going to help you succeed, and certainly won’t guarantee you any long-term solutions.If you are going to invest in a private tutor, it’s worth making it as regular as possible to really get the most out of this opportunity. A monthly meeting will not be enough â€" you should aim for weekly sessions if you can, and fortnightly at a push.
