Greetings to you all, the Native Speaking English Teachers (NSETs) who
are committing yourselves to help improve elementary and secondary school
English education in Seoul. English has grown in importance in Korea in
recent years. Being the language for education and commerce throughout
many developed countries, Korean people have realized the importance of
having a command of the language. According to a study conducted by
Newsweek magazine, three quarters of the world's top 100 universities are in
countries where English is the first language of communication. Thus, English
plays a pivotal role in acquiring and spreading knowledge. It is estimated that
about 70% of Internet-based information is in English; and English is the
predominant language used in writing intellectual and scientific journals.
Thanks to the amount of time and effort spent on English education, most
Korean students achieve a high level proficiency in English, mainly in reading,
by the 11th or 12th grade. They retain quite extensive vocabulary as well.
Regardless of their reading proficiency, many students still find it difficult
to express themselves comfortably in English. In response, Seoul Metropolitan
Office of Education (SMOE) introduced a new English program in 2005. This
program enabled the government to invite Native Speaking English Teachers
to work in schools throughout Seoul. Your presence and commitment symbolize
the paradigm shift of public school English education here in Korea.
Dear all, you are here with us to help provide quality English education to
Korean students. You are not here as token foreigners promoting a Korean
English education policy. As mentioned earlier, your presence and commitment
symbolize the paradigm shift of school English education in Korea. Remember
that some of your pupils may play a crucial role in the international
community in the future. You are the ones that can help them overcome
their language barrier and build confidence in themselves. Your encouragement
and teaching could help them become valuable members of the global
community. In this sense, I hope that each and every one of you will
motivate yourself to be more proactive in your schools and classes. Please try
your utmost to meet the expectations SMOE and also students have for you.
On behalf of the English education policy department of SMOE, I would like
to express our appreciation for your dedication in improving the English
education system in Seoul and wish you a very memorable time in Korea.

1.1 Characteristics
Elementary English as a core subject raises students' ability to understand and express the basics
of the language as it is used in their daily lives. It is based on the four functions of language:
listening, speaking, reading and writing. The main focus is on listening and speaking. Reading
and writing are based on simple contents related to the former components.
When applying English teaching methodology, Elementary school students' characteristics should
be considered. First of all, elementary school students are full of curiosity, and their thoughts
and behaviors are strongly affected by their senses and experiences. Teaching methods should be
based on students' senses and experiences accordingly. Second, repetitive teaching is
recommended since they learn quickly but forget easily. Finally, they have short attention spans.
Various teaching methods and materials, therefore, such as multi-media should be used
appropriately.
Elementary English focuses on level-focused learning, reflecting students' different abilities.
Level-focused learning includes the basic course, which is applied to all students, and the
advanced/supplementary course. The advanced course offers additional task-based learning for
students who have reached the achievement standard of the basic course. The supplementary
course offers additional task-based learning to help students who didn't reach the achievement
standard of the basic course. In level-focused learning, therefore, students learn on their own
through tasks and activities.
At the elementary school level, it is important to maintain students' interest as well as to make
them familiar with and confident in English. This will be the foundation of improving their
communicative skills to further their English education. Although one of the aims of teaching
English is to help them develop their communicative skills, establishing a good personality is
also important. English education should help students to develop sound moral values and an
independent civil mentality. Also, it should encourage the students to have an understanding
attitude toward foreign cultures, international insight, a cooperative spirit and basic knowledge as
citizens of the world.
❙• 3 •❙
1.2 Goals
Students will learn how to acquire the basic communication ability that is necessary to
understand and use the basic English in their daily lives. In addition, they are able to take in
foreign cultures in a right way, develop Korean culture and find a way to introduce Korean
culture to the world.
⑴ Students will learn how to have confidence and interests in English, and acquire the basic
skills to communicative.
⑵ Students will learn how to have a conversation about their daily routines and general topics.
⑶ Students will learn how to understand various information about foreign culture and acquire
the ability to use it.
⑷ Through the understanding of foreign cultures, students are able to recognize Korean
culture in a new perspective and develop ethical values.
【Commentary】
Elementary school English is the starting point of the public English Education, so the goal
will be a part of the achievement of English education. Students will understand and use
English to build up the basic communication skills, take in other cultures properly, and
introduce Korean culture.

Language Skills
Students will gradually learn how to build up their ability covering four functions of language
: listening, speaking, reading and writing.
【Commentary】
Spoken language is introduced earlier than written language. Listening is introduced earlier
than speaking, and reading is introduced earlier than writing. After some time, these four
functions will be integrated systematically.

【Commentary】
The teacher motivates students to learn English considering student interest, necessity, and
cognitive level. The teacher introduces cultural differences between Western and Korean
cultures, and uses simple communicative functions in spoken words.

2.2 Achievement Standards by Grades/Levels
3rd Grade
【Commentary】
'Achievement standards' is the new concept of the 7th National Curriculum. Up until the 6th
National Curriculum, the contents included different materials according to each grade.
Achievement standards are based on a concept which includes contents and objectives. They
are also divided into a basic level and an advanced level. The basic level contains basic
objectives for all students to achieve while the advanced level contains higher objectives for
students who have achieved the basic goals.
❙• 7 •❙
4th Grade
【Commentary】
Achievement standards for the 4th grade are built on the achievement standards for the 3rd
grade. Therefore, for teaching the 4th graders, teachers can teach the contents of the 3rd
grade's standards or reorganize the contents in the 4th grade. The written language is
introduced first in the grade 4, but it is limited to recognizing capital and lower case letters
and reading simple words. In the advanced level, teachers can help students speak naturally
by using nonverbal elements such as expressions, gestures, and so on.
❙• 8 •❙
5th Grade
❙• 9 •❙
【Commentary】
The introduction of writing is a feature of the achievement standards for the 5th grade. In
speaking, a basic conversation on the phone is presented as the achievement standard. In
writing, the achievement standards of the elementary level are writing words, capital and
lowercase letters. In reading, students are able to understand meanings of some words and
read them out. In listening, teachers have students do tasks after listening to commands or
explanations. Listening in the past tense and understanding it are also included.
6th Grade
❙• 10 •❙
Skills Levels Standards
⑤ read a simple story about daily lives and know if it is true or false
Advanced
⑥ find the same sentences which they have listened to
【Commentary】
Listening is essential for understanding simple everyday conversations. One of the important
goals of speaking is to improve students' ability to ask and answer some questions or
anticipate the future. Eventually, the goal of reading is to read and understand short and
easy writings about daily lives. Writing has its focus on writing sentences that the students
already have practiced verbally. Also, the ability to punctuate correctly is included in the
achievement standard of writing.

3 Teaching and Learning Methods
【Commentary】
Considering the developmental stage of elementary school students, various activities, the use
of media, and diverse forms of group work are recommended. The most ideal
teaching-learning method is individualized teaching, but it is rarely possible due to the
problem in securing teachers, etc. In developed countries, however, making up small groups
within the same class according to the students' ability and differentiated teaching is
possible; this is the core of a level-focused curriculum.
❙• 12 •❙
The advanced and supplementary differentiated English class is operated as elementary
course and subordinate course. The supplementary course is for students who could not
reach the basic achievement standards so they could practice additional basic task-based
learning. The advanced course is to enable enriched learning; this does not mean the
extension of content, but the emphasis on fluency and accuracy of the basic course.
The advanced and supplementary differentiated curriculum can be put into action by teachers
who determine the appropriate time to initiate it. It may be managed by the class or units.
The class can be divided into three groups of basic, supplementary and advanced or just
supplementary and advanced group, etc.
The grouping criteria can be established according to the teacher's judgement, students'
preferences or the results of evaluation. Above all, the teacher's judgement is the most
important. The goal of differentiated curriculum is to enable every student to get the same
quality of education by finding and resolving the deficiency factors promptly. The teacher
should pay special attention to the students in need of the supplementary course.
It is suggested that the advanced course be self-directed learning. In contrast, the
supplementary course requires the teacher's direct teaching which invigorates systematic
make-up class by doing individual or small group activities. It is necessary for teachers to
stress the reorganization of supplementary contents and learning activities, which can help
students build up self-confidence in English.

4 Teaching Methods for Elementary Learners
Task-based Approach
▪ A perspective within a CLT framework and a special form of technique.
▪ Put the tasks at the center of one's methodological focus.
▪ In the tasks there are some communication problems to solve and students are given the
essential information to accomplish the tasks.
▪ Students have to use as many expressions as they can deliver the meaning.
▪ The teacher needs to divide the class into small groups and have each student play an active
part in their group.
▪ The more responsibility that students take, the more learning will take place.
Role-play
▪ The main frameworks of role-play are the situations, roles and useful expressions.
▪ Students need to fully understand the situation, their own roles, and other friends' roles.
▪ The teacher should give a supplementary explanation about the demonstration.
▪ Students will be interested in the role of imaginary people and actively participate in that
activity through which they can gain a more accurate understanding of language functions.
▪ What is most important is that all students who join in role-play and the students observing
it should fully understand the entire situation.
▪ For effective role-play the teacher should have the professional understanding and application
skills to make role-play interesting and meaningful for the class.
❙• 15 •❙
Song/Chant
▪ Songs and chants give students with little confidence in a foreign language a lot of interest
and motivation at the beginning of the lesson.
▪ Song and chant with real English phrases allow students to practice intonation, rhythm, and
pronunciation of the language naturally and pleasantly.
▪ It can be useful in reducing boredom and stress, and it is fun for students.
▪ Students can memorize English expressions they need to learn easily through songs or chants.
▪ Teachers should decide when to present songs or chants to students and how to lead the
activities before English class in an organized way.
Hot potato
Students sit in a circle singing along or chanting while passing a bag full of picture or word
cards. When the teacher says 'stop!', the student holding the bag takes out a card and says the
word or sentence on the card.
On the head
The leader of each team comes to the front of the class and the teacher picks out one card and
puts it on the student's head. He or she has to guess the card on his/her head.
▪ Screening and identification: to identify students eligible for special language and/or content
area support programs
▪ Placement: to determine the language proficiency and content area competencies of students in
order to recommend an appropriate educational program
▪ Reclassification or exit: to determine if a student has gained the language skills and content
area competencies needed to benefit from instruction in grade-level classrooms (i.e., from all
English programs not specifically designed to address the needs of English Language Learning
students)
▪ Monitoring student progress: to review students' language and content area learning in classrooms
▪ Program evaluation: to determine the effects of national or local instructional programs
▪ Accountability: to guarantee that students attain expected educational goals or standards
❙• 17 •❙
5.2 Principles of Korean Elementary English Evaluation
▪ Evaluation in elementary schools is not focused on results, but on creating an environment in
which students are motivated to study.
▪ Quantitative evaluation should be avoided because what matters here is to eliminate students'
psychological barriers to learning.
▪ The teacher observes and reports students' participation and communicative ability during the
activities such as games, role-play, etc.
▪ English teaching is centered on spoken language, and evaluation is done through observation
of the students' language-using ability, task-performance, etc.
▪ Advanced/supplementary groups are formed naturally within the atmosphere of open education.

6.2 Details
Look and Listen
Listening is an important part of elementary English especially in the early stage of learning,
because it offers students the language input that they will learn. 'Look and Listen' takes such a
role. The teacher can help students to understand more easily by using pictures and listening to
the CD-ROM title. Teach the students not to listen to all of the words in 'Look and Listen', but
to recognize situations and their context first so that they understand the overall content of the
dialogue.
❙• 21 •❙
Listen and Repeat
This offers the foundation not only for becoming more familiar with pronunciation or intonation,
but also for listening more carefully by speaking it. It can be difficult for young students to
repeat exactly what they heard for the first time. For that reason, accuracy is not emphasized in
the beginning stages. Let students repeat the native speaker's pronunciation naturally. If the
sentence is too long, help the students to practice by using backward build-up or chunking.
Let's Play
The curriculum is focused on learning English through games and activities. Since students tend
to have short attention span and be full of curiosity, games and activities are designed in almost
every class so that students can learn English in a natural and interesting way.
▪ Let's play⑴: This usually focuses on listening rather than speaking because a new language is
presented in the first period. It's difficult for them to speak the language at this time, so the
activity or game focuses on listening to familiarize students with the new language before
they start to speak it.
▪ Let's play⑵: Since students became familiar with the new language through activities or
games in period 1, they're probably ready to practice speaking. So 'Let's play⑵' is designed
as a controlled practice, which allows students to practice speaking under the control of the
teacher.
▪ Let's play⑶: Students listened to the target language and practiced it a lot in period 1 and 2,
so 'Let's play⑶' offers them an opportunity to use it in a more natural context. In this
activity or game, teachers have to try to guide or help students to use the language
communicatively rather than trying to control them.
❙• 22 •❙
Let's Read
In the 5th grade, students are required to read and understand basic vocabulary, and also become
familiar with literal English language which they will learn by doing various activities based on
the content of the lesson. In the 6th grade, students are required to read and understand
vocabulary and simple structure sentences. First, help students understand the meaning of words
and sentences through pictures before practice. Then, they learn to read further through various
activities and games.
Let's Write
Teaching to write starts in the 5th grade, with writing the alphabet and simple words learned
verbally. Use pictures and cue cards as much as you can, and it can help students to feel at
ease in developing writing skills naturally. Writing is reflected by the contents of listening and
reading. It allows students to relieve stress and feel at ease. Don't make the students memorize
or write words or sentences they have learned over and over in the beginning stages. It could
make them lose interest in writing.
Let's Sing/Chant
Songs or chants can be an interesting tools for language teaching and learning. Students are
interested in activities by speaking along with rhythm. They learn the target language by
verbalizing the key words or expressions repeatedly. While singing songs interests students
because it has a certain melody, so does chanting as it has rhythm. First, try to be familiar with
the song or chant by listening to the CD-ROM title, then try it out with the students. If you
use hand motions or rhythmical movements, students will find it more interesting. Also, teachers
can make a natural communicative situation by singing songs or chanting in groups.
Role-play
By doing role-plays, students take on a role and act according to a given situation which is
closely related to the context of the target language. Role-play is not intended to present or
teach new expressions, but to offer a different activity that can lead to the further understanding
of words and expressions they've already learned. Through role-playing, the students can practice
language in a way it's used in real-life. First, look at the whole situation: how they will act, and
the dialogue they'll be using so that they can be familiar enough with it before beginning
role-play. It is also not good for students to only memorize only their own roles but to act in
awareness of the entire context.
❙• 23 •❙
Activity
It presents some activities for students to use all four skills (listening, speaking, reading, and
writing), with which to accomplish the ultimate goals of the lesson. Make sure the students have
truly understood when they are doing listening, reading, speaking and writing activities. It will
help students improve their overall communicative ability. First, the teacher should help the
students to identify the task they will be engaged in, and the goals that they should accomplish.
Then the teacher points to a specific student and checks whether the student truly understood or
not. Teach the students to focus on not only accuracy but also fluency while doing the activity.
Review
Nearing the end of the lesson, 'Let's Review' gives an opportunity to review the entire contents
of that lesson and some activities which strengthen the students' learning, when it is necessary.
In this stage, teachers make sure all the students have truly understood what they were taught in
the unit. Teachers should try not to make students feel like they are being tested. Help students
to review the target language through pair work or group activities.

7 Co-teaching
7.1 Definition
Co-teaching is defined as an instructional delivery approach in which general and special
educators share responsibility for planning, delivery and evaluation of instructional techniques for
a group of students; general and special educators work in a coactive and coordinated fashion,
which involves the joint teaching of academically and behaviorally heterogeneous groups of
students in integrated settings. (Bauwens & Hourcade, 1991; Friend & Cook, 1992). Co-teaching
in English class is aimed at developing students' communicative ability through collaborative
teaching between a Native Speaking English Teacher and a Korean English Teacher. In this
sense, co-teaching in Korean English class is regarded as interactive teaching in which both
teachers work together with unified aim and with shared responsibility for the lesson and the
students.
Complementary Teaching
KET teaches specific contents, e.g., grammar, vocabulary, reading, etc., and NSET teaches the
learning abilities such as pronunciation, conversation, or listening or the academic survival skills.
Station Teaching
NSET and KET divide the contents and students. Each teacher teaches different content to one
group and here, the different content is called a 'station'. When the first station is finished, the
groups are switched, and each teacher repeats the instructions for the other group.
❙• 25 •❙
Team Teaching
In team teaching, both teachers are responsible for designing a lesson plan, collaborating in
teaching, and evaluating students and contents.
Support Teaching
KET teaches the specific contents and NSET develops supplementary and detailed learning
activities and conducts the lesson for students.
Pre-Class Korean English Teacher is responsible for designing and writing lesson plans,
shares ideas with Native Speaking English Teacher and understands cultural and
linguistic backgrounds.
Korean English Teacher leads the lesson flow and Native Speaking English
Teacher assists the lesson in various ways (e.g., giving instructions, giving
examples, correcting pronunciation errors, explaining culture, etc.) at appropriate
times.
Both review the lesson together. Korean English Teacher chooses the specific
method of evaluation and then both teachers develop the evaluation rubric or
testing sheet. Native Speaking English Teacher assists in evaluation.

. Hangul, the Korean Alphabet
1 Official name
The modern name Hangul (한글) was coined by Ju Sigyeong in 1912. Han (한) meant "great"
in archaic Korean, while geul (글) is the native Korean word for "script".
2 History
Invented and promulgated by Sejong the Great, the fourth King of the Josun Dynasty in 1446,
Hangul, or the Korean alphabet, originally had 28 letters. Four letters of the original 28
disappeared from use in the long history of more than 500 years, and at present, only 24 letters
are in use.
King Sejong explained the need for the new script by saying that the Korean language was
different from Chinese; Chinese characters (known as Hanja) was too difficult for the common
people to write. Likewise, only privileged aristocrats (Yangban), usually male, could read and
write fluently. The majority of Koreans were actually illiterate before the invention of Hangul.
Hangul was designed so that even a commoner could learn to read and write; a document
called Haerye says, "A wise man can acquaint himself with them before the morning is over; a
fool can learn them in the space of ten days."
3 Characteristics
The Korean letters are phonetic symbols, not hieroglyphs, and the language has an abundant
vocabulary of sensitive and emotional expressions. Thus, the abundance of onomatopoeic,
simulation, adjective and exclamatory words are distinguishing characteristics of the Korean
language.
4 Letters
There are 24 letters in the Korean alphabet, ten vowels as medials and fourteen consonants
used both as initial and final letters. Besides these, there are also double consonants, formed by
and based on the original single consonants. The Korean alphabet can be written not only side
ways but also vertically.
The design of the vowels can be explained according to the principles of yin and yang and
vowel harmony. The consonant letters were designed according to articulatory phonetics.
❙• 130 •❙
5 Phonetic value
The individual letter has a phonetic value and an independent form. When two or more letters
are written together, they form syllables, just as in Latin.
It is very helpful for foreign readers to note the spelling rules and the manner in which the
symbols are combined to make syllables and words.
The table below illustrates the vowels and consonants.

Not long after, the tiger became completely exhausted and decided to leave the cave.
"I can't eat them anymore. This is ridiculous," said the tiger.
"We have to endure this to become humans. Just hold on a bit longer," said the bear.
But despite the bear's advice, the tiger gave up and ran away.
So the bear was left alone in the cave. Though it was dark and uncomfortable, the bear
remained patient. Twenty one days had passed since the bear entered the cave. Moved by the
bear's sincerity and its firm determination, Hwan-woong visited the bear and turned him into a
beautiful woman. Hwan-woong named her 'Woong-nyuh'.
At first Woong-nyuh was very grateful and overjoyed about becoming a human but soon, she
got disappointed that she didn't have a child.
So she prayed under a tree that she could someday soon have a baby.
Hwan-woong was touched by her prayer and married her.
Woong-nyuh gave birth to a son, who was named Dan-gun.
He surpassed all the other children in every way.
And he took after his father, Hwan-woong.
One day, he went to his father.
"I'd like to make a wonderful country for all people to live in," Dan-gun said.
"That's a great idea. Set up a new country and rule it wisely. Go and find a much bigger piece
of land," said Hwan-woong.
He left his father's land with many people and animals to take to the new land.
Dan-gun established the country in Asadal, which is in the northern area of Pyeong-Yang in
North Korea, in 2333 B.C.
He became the first human king of Korea. His land was named 'Go-Jo-Sun' which is the first
kingdom of Korea.

The Golden Axe and the Silver Axe
Once upon a time there lived a good woodcutter. He was very poor, so he used to go to the
forest to cut down trees in order to make a living.
One day while he was chopping a tree near a pond, his old axe fell into the pond by mistake.
He said to himself, "Oh, no! If I don't have that axe, I can't cut down trees. Then I will not be
able to earn any money. How can I take care of my parents?" He was so sad and upset that he
cried. The pond god listened to the woodcutter's crying and arose from the pond. "Why are you
sad?" the god asked the woodcutter. "I am a woodcutter. While I was chopping the tree, my axe
fell into the pond. If I don't have the axe, I won’t be able to earn any money," the woodcutter
answered.
The pond god disappeared. A little later the god soon appeared with a silver axe. "Is this silver
axe yours?" the god asked. "No, it isn't," the woodcutter answered. The god disappeared again.
This time he came back with a golden axe and asked, "Is this golden axe yours?" The
woodcutter answered, "No it isn't." Finally, the pond god showed him an old rusty iron axe. "Is
this yours?" The woodcutter answered, "Yes, yes, yes! That's an iron axe. That's mine." He was
so happy to find his old iron axe.
The pond god was so happy with his honesty that he said "You are very honest. I will give
you all three axes as a reward." The god gave him all three axes. The woodcutter and his
parents lived happily ever after.

The Tale of Shim Cheong
Once upon a time, there lived an old blind man, Mr. Shim. He had a daughter named Shim
Cheong. Her mother died three days after she was born, so Mr. Shim lived alone with his
daughter. Even though Shim Cheong was very young, she worked so hard to serve her blind
father. She was well-known as a devoted daughter in the village.
One day, Mr. Shim was crossing the stream. When he was trying to cross a narrow wooden
bridge over the stream, he lost his footing and fell into the water. A Buddhist monk was
passing by at that moment and he pulled Mr. Shim out of the water. The monk looked at him
for a second and told him softly, "I pity the blind. If you donate 300 bags of rice to Buddha,
you will be able to see."
After the monk left, Mr. Shim began to worry. When Cheong got home late that night, she saw
her father's worried face. Cheong asked what happened to her father. Mr. Shim told her the
whole story.
One day, a group of sailors came into the village. They were sailing to China with their cargo,
and wanted to buy a maiden so that they could sacrifice her to the angry sea dragon. Shim
Cheong heard that these men would pay any price for a maiden. She immediately went to the
sailors and told them that she would sell herself to them. People in the village were so sad, but
they were so impressed by her devotion.
A strong wind began to blow and high waves rocked the ship. The ship was lost in a terrible
storm in the middle of the sea. Cheong threw herself into the angry waves. The sailor prayed
for her. Suddenly, the sea became quiet.
After several days, When Shim Cheong opened her eyes, she found herself lying in a beautiful
room she'd never seen before. The sea dragon king was so impressed by her love and devotion
to her father that he saved Cheong and wanted to do something wonderful for her. He put her
in a big lotus flower and sent her back into the world.
Some fishermen saw the big lotus flower floating in the sea and they took it to the king. When
the fishermen delivered the lotus flower to the king he was stunned by its beauty. Then the
❙• 135 •❙
lotus flower opened and Cheong appeared. Everyone was surprised. The king heard the story of
what Cheong had done and he was determined to make her his wife.
Cheong became the queen, but she couldn't stop worrying about her blind father. The king pitied
his wife and wanted to help Shim Cheong find her father. So he invited all the blind in the
country to his palace and held a month long feast.
On the last day of the feast, an old dirty man entered the palace and Shim Cheong called to
him, "Father!" Mr. Shim was so shocked that he opened his eyes. Finally Mr. Shim could see
his daughter. Shim Cheong and her father hugged each other and cried tears of joy for a long
time, and they lived happily ever after.

The Mysterious Spring
An old couple lived in a small village. Although they were poor, they always shared everything
with their neighbors. Their only wish was to have a child. There was another old man living in
the same town. He was rich and had children, but nobody liked him because he was so greedy
One day, when the poor old man was cutting firewood in the forest, he heard a beautiful twitter
from above. He followed the blue bird to a small, bubbly spring under a tree. He gulped a
handful of water because he was so thirsty. And he fell asleep under the tree.
When he woke up, it was already dark. The old man hurried home. The old man’s wife was
worried about him. Just then the old man arrived. “What happened to you? No wrinkles on your
face! You’ve become young.” The wife shouted with surprise. The next day, the old man took
his wife to the mysterious spring in the forest. The miracle happened to her, too.
The greedy old man heard of this and could not wait to drink the mysterious water himself. As
soon as he saw it, he started to drink as much water as he could. By the next day, the greedy
man hadn't come back home. The young couple were worried about him, so they we went to
the forest to find him. They saw a baby wearing the greedy man's big clothes.
The young couple brought the baby home and took good care of him. The baby grew up to be
a good man. The young couple lived happily with their lovely son until they grew old again.

The Sun and the Moon
Once upon a time there lived a mother with her son and daughter in a small house. Sadly, they
were so poor that the mother had to go downtown to sell rice cake at the market.
One day, mother was walking back home from the village. She didn't sell any rice cake on that
day. So her basket was full.
She heard a roaring sound. She was frightened. It was a huge tiger standing in front of her.
And the tiger said, "Oh! You have a lot of rice cake. If you give me one, I'll let you go."
Mother was so scared that she gave some rice cake to the tiger and hurried home.
But the tiger soon reappeared and said, "I'm still hungry. If you give me one more, I'll let you
go." Mother gave some more rice cake to the tiger and ran away.
The mean tiger was still hungry so he waited for mother again. But this time he ate all of the
rice cake and mother, too.
At home, the big brother and the little sister were waiting for their mother. It became darker
and darker. They worried about their mom.
"Why is she so late? I'm hungry." The little sister started to cry.
"Don't worry. She'll come soon," the big brother said.
Suddenly, somebody knocked on the door and said, "Oh my babies, open the door. It's me, your
mom."
The little sister ran to the door and said, "Mom, is that you? Why are you so late?"
But big brother stopped her and said, "Wait, something is strange. That's not Mom's voice."
"I caught a cold and I have a sore throat," the tiger said.
Big brother still didn't believe it, so he asked, "Then show me your hand."
A big paw burst through the door.
"Oh, no. It's not Mom's hand," the big brother said.
"I worked so hard today that my hands are rough," the tiger said.
This time they believed it and opened the door for their mom.
"You must be very hungry. I'll cook for you," the tiger said, pretending to be mother.
He was wearing mom's clothes. Just then big brother found the tiger's tail under his skirt.
He noticed it was a tiger. Big brother quietly ran outside with his sister and they started to
climb the persimmon tree in the backyard.
"Where is my dinner?" The tiger looked around. But there was nobody in the room. He finally
saw them in the tree.
"Hey, come down." said the tiger. But they didn't move.
❙• 138 •❙
"Well, how did you get there?" the tiger asked.
Big brother had a good idea and answered, "I poured sesame oil over the trunk of the tree."
But it was not true. The tree was so slippery that the tiger couldn't climb it up.
"Ha ha ha... such a fool! Why don't you use an ax?" little sister said.
"Why did you tell him that?" big brother yelled at her but it was too late.
The tiger started to climb up the tree with an ax and almost reached them.
"Oh, God! please help us," the scared children said.
God gave them a rope and they were able to escape.
"Oh, God! give me a rope, too," the tiger asked like big brother and little sister.
God gave him a rotten rope and the tiger fell down to the ground when he gripped it tightly.
God was so impressed with them that he asked big brother and little sister to be the Sun and
the Moon. Little sister was so timid and didn't like being alone at night. So big brother became
the moon, and little sister became the sun.

The Old Bumpy Man
Long ago, an old man lived in a small town. He had a big ugly bump on his face. Everybody
called him "The Old Bumpy Man". All the children in the town made fun of him. He hated the
bump on his face. He really wanted to get rid of it. It was his only wish.
One day he was coming back home from the mountain very late. It was very dark, so he lost
his way home. It was too dark to see anything. Luckily, he saw a light coming from a small
house in the distance.
"Hello, is anybody here?"
Nobody answered. There was no one home.
"Ooh.. This house looks like a haunted house. It's scary."
He tried to sleep but he couldn't. He decided to sing a song because he was so scared. He had
a beautiful voice. His song spread across the mountain. Just then, The Old Bumpy Man heard
voices talking outside.
❙• 140 •❙
The story of The Old Bumpy Man and the ogres spread around his small town. There lived
another bumpy old man in the next town. He heard the story, too.
"Ogres will trade bumps for gold? Now, it's my turn to get rid of my bump!"
He went to the mountain to find the haunted house. He started singing a song loudly, but he
was not a good singer. He had a terrible voice. Suddenly, he heard the ogres coming.
"A-Ha! They are coming. I will be rich pretty soon."
"Hey, old man. Does your voice come from your bump too?" The ogres asked him angrily.
"Of course. Just like the other bumpy old man. Do you want to trade it for something?" The
greedy old man asked.
"What? These bumps don't help me sing songs at all!" shouted one of the ogres,
"YOU ARE A LIAR! We came here to give you back your bump! We don't want it."
"Boom-Boom-Bang"
A new bump became magically stuck to the other side of his face.
"Oh, no. It is not fair. This is not even my bump. Please take it back."
"Get out of HERE, right now!" the ogres shouted.
Ever since then, everyone called him 'The Bumpy Bumpy Old Man', because he was a greedy
liar. He was the only man who had two ugly bumps on his face.

A Tale Of Brotherly Love
A long time ago, there lived a father and two brothers in a small village. The two brothers
loved each other so much that they shared almost everything. One day, their father sadly passed
away. With his last breath, he proclaimed his dying wish to his sons: "You should love each
other forever." So the elder brother divided the rice pads and other fortunes that his father left
into two and handed one half to his younger brother.
When the younger brother got married, his older brother said "I'm really proud of you. If you
need any help, you should let me know." It meant that their bond was still strong even though
they no longer lived together. The two men worked on the farm really hard for their families.
There was never enough food, however, because they had to support their own families with the
divided rice pads and the shared fortune.
It was Fall and the harvest started. "Brother, thanks to your help, we will have more rice than
last year. I'm happy," said the younger brother.
"I don't think so. You work harder than me. I am the one who should say thank you," said the
elder brother.
Each of them piled bundles of rice on their own rice pads to make a heap. When it was dark
both of them went back to their own home. The elder brother couldn't sleep late at night. He
tossed and turned, thinking that his younger brother should have more rice than him. So the
elder brother went to the heap of rice which stood over the middle of his rice pad. He took a
few bundles of the rice and carried it to his brother's. He left the rice there, carefully without a
sound. His heart became filled with joy. What he wasn't aware of, is that his dear brother was
doing the same thing that very night, when he did not see.
The next day, he noticed something very strange. It was hard to believe that there wasn't any
difference in his rice heap. So he whispered, "I will go to brother's rice heap again, and bring
him more tonight. He has a wife and a baby. He needs more rice than I do."
❙• 142 •❙
After everyone in his family fell asleep, he sneaked out of his house and headed for his
younger brother's rice pad. It was the blackest of nights. On the way there, he saw someone
walking in the dark. When the person got closer, the full moon which had been hidden by thick
clouds revealed itself and shone brightly. When their profiles became illuminated by the
moonlight, they suddenly recognized each other. The one standing in the dark dropped bundles
of rice, and so did the elder brother.
"It was you who put the rice onto my heap last night!"
They began weeping and hugged each other. The moon, watching over what they had been
doing, smiled upon them and touched them with its gentle light, like a soft and fragrant breeze.
From that day on, of course, the brothers worked even harder helping and loving each other and
they lived happily ever after.

The Boy Who Became a Cow
Long ago, there was a boy who was as lazy as a sloth. He wouldn't even lift a finger. He took
a nap whenever he wanted and he day-dreamed while lying on his back all day long. He
sometimes skipped meals because he didn't want to get up.
So his mother nagged him a lot by shouting, "Wake up! How could you live without eating any
food? You should feed yourself." But he didn't budge an inch.
His mom got so worried about him and said, "If you act like a lazy cow you'll become a cow."
"A cow? Would I rather be a cow?" asked he. In fact he was curious about becoming a cow
because he thought that if he became one he would not have to work, eat or listen to his mom.
His mom became speechless with his reply for a moment then yelled, "Do you know what you
are saying? If I were you I would go to the mountain to gather some firewood." The boy was
annoyed so he decided to leave his home.
After walking a long distance, he found an old man making cow masks. He asked him if he
could try one on. The old man said "You should beware. If you put on this mask, you will
certainly become a cow!"
What the old man said made him happy, so he put on the mask. After bringing the mask to his
face, it became stuck there. Suddenly, his arms turned into cow's legs. Surprisingly his own legs
turned into hind legs. He trembled with joy.
The old man took the boy, who was now a cow, to the cattle market and sold him to a farmer.
The farmer slapped his back and said "You look strong. You will work hard for me, won't
you?" The old man said to the farmer, "Do not feed the cow with radish. If it eats radish, it
will die."
On arriving to the farmer's farm, the cow, who was the lazy boy, had to work from early
morning all day until evening. The farmer lashed angrily at his back with a whip, saying,
"Faster, faster, such a lazy cow."
The boy who was now a cow wanted to tell the farmer that he was just a boy and that he
wanted to go back home. But all he could say was "Moo moo".
❙• 144 •❙
He cried over and over again. He missed his mom and regretted his laziness and not listening to
her. He became exhausted and thin. The farmer made the boy work so hard, he felt that he
wanted to die. Then one day, he luckily found a radish in the field. So he pulled it out and ate
it up remembering the words that the old man spoke to the farmer.
Amazingly, he did not die, but instead became a boy again. Eating radish was the only way to
dispell the magic.
He was so happy that he rushed all the way home and became a diligent man who helped with
the house chores and worked on the farm for his mom. He was never lazy again.

A Tale Of Heungbu and Nolbu
A long time ago, there lived two brothers, Heungbu and Nolbu, in a small town. Nolbu, the
elder brother, was greedy and unkind. Heungbu, the younger brother, was kind and honest. After
their parents passed away, greedy Nolbu kicked Heungbu and his large family out of the house
without giving him any money. Heungbu's children couldn't help but suffer from hunger all the
time.
One day, Heungbu went to ask for some food from Nolbu's wife. "We have no food for you!
Get out of here!" she screamed. Nolbu's wife hit Heungbu's face with a rice scooper.
The long Winter passed and finally, Spring came. A hungry snake was about to eat a baby
swallow that had fallen from the tree. Luckily, Heungbu saw this and pushed the snake away
with a stick, but the baby swallow was hurt.
Heungbu took the baby bird and raised it until the next Fall. By that time the swallow was
ready to fly south for the Winter.
Soon, it was Spring again. Heungbu's family was excited to see the swallow return. The swallow
gave Heungbu's family a gourd seed. Heungbu planted the seed in his garden. The gourds grew
so quickly and got bigger and bigger every day. Heungbu was so pleased. His family took a
gourd and cut it in half. As the big gourd was cut in half, it suddenly made a loud noise.
"Bang! Pop!" Two beautiful angels appeared from inside the gourd and told Heungbu, "You and
your family are so kind and honest. We came here to give you treasure." And from then on
Heungbu's family was not poor any more.
Nolbu was surprised to hear that Heungbu became rich. Nolbu was so greedy and jealous of his
brother. He came up with an idea to get rich like Heungbu. He caught a swallow and broke its
leg deliberately. He took care of the swallow pretending to care about it.
Winter came and went. It was Spring again, and the swallow returned to Nolbu. The swallow
dropped a seed into Nolbu's hand.
Nolbu's gourds grew quickly, too. They got bigger and bigger every day. Nolbu couldn't wait to
cut one in half to see what it would bring. When the gourd was cut in half, it suddenly made a
❙• 146 •❙
loud noise. "Bang! Pop!" Lots of scary goblins and terrible monsters appeared and shouted
angrily, "We're here to take all your treasure from you. You are so mean and greedy." Nolbu's
family was shocked.
Kind and honest Heungbu felt sorry to hear the terrible news about his elder brother and wanted
to help him.

Kongji and Patji
Once, there lived a good couple. They had a beautiful daughter named Kongji. Kongji was such
a nice girl. One day her mother passed away after a long illness. Her father remarried because
he thought that Kongji was lonely. The stepmother had a daughter of her own, Patji who was
lazy and greedy. The stepmother was nice when Kongji's father was around. But behind his
back, she treated her badly. A few months later, her father became sick and died. The
stepmother gave good food and nice clothes to Patji, her step sister. The stepmother kept Kongji
hard at work.
"Kongji, fill this jar with water, until I come back."
No matter how hard Kongji tried, the jar was still empty, because there was a big hole at the
bottom of the jar. When Kongji began crying with sorrow, a big toad appeared and blocked the
hole so that she could fill the jar with water.
The stepmother was surprised,
"How could she have filled the jar?" she wondered.
The next day the stepmother called up Kongji again.
"Kongji, pull out all the weeds from the field."
Kongji worked very hard but she couldn't finish even half of it. When she was crying, a cow
appeared and pulled out all the weeds from the field.
"It is impossible to finish all that in one day," thought the stepmother. She got really angry
when she knew Kongji finished the job on time.
One day, a handsome prince was passing through their village. Everyone went out to see the
prince. The stepmother and Patji dressed up nicely and went out to see the prince.
"Kongji, if you want to see the prince, pound all this rice on the mat, then cut the millet. But
you will never finish it in time. Ha Ha Ha...."
Kongji couldn't pound all the rice by herself. When she was crying desperately, a large flock of
birds flew in and pecked the rice at a great speed and got the work done in a second.
"Now I can go see the prince but I have nothing to wear," she said to herself sadly.
Suddenly, some mice appeared and brought a pretty dress and shoes.
Kongji put on the dress and was running quickly not knowing that the prince was passing by.
She accidentally left a shoe behind.
The prince recognized Kongji's sweetness and kindness.
"Who is that girl? Find the owner of the shoe."
The prince's servants searched for the owner of the shoe all around the country. Many girls
❙• 148 •❙
argued for the ownership of the shoe. But the shoe didn't fit anyone's foot. Finally the prince
came to Kongji's house.
"It's surely Patji's shoe." the stepmother shouted. But Patji couldn't fit her foot in the shoe
because her foot was too big. The prince finally asked Kongji to put on the shoe. The shoe fit
her foot perfectly. The prince realized that Kongji was the one who lost her shoe. The prince
and Kongji got married and lived happily ever after.

. Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. In what ways should grammar be taught in the Korean Elementary English class?
Grammar is an important part of learning English. However, in the past, grammar has been
over-emphasized and communicative competence has been neglected. Now, the Korean
government is trying to pay more attention to communicative competence and less to grammar.
This however, does not mean that grammar should be ignored.
It is important for teachers to teach and explain simple grammatical concepts that students will
use in every English class. For example, "I am", "She/He is". It is also essential to teach
grammar when lack of grammatical knowledge causes communication problems. Teachers should
keep the students' cognitive levels in mind when teaching grammar. Grammar becomes more
important as the level of the student becomes higher.
■ Recast is when the teacher repeats the sentence in its correct form. For example:
S. Where you go yesterday?
T. Where did you go yesterday?
■ Clarification request is when the teacher asks a student for clarification. For example:
T. How long have you had your glasses?
S. Two.

■ Elicitation is where a teacher encourages a student to say the correct sentence by asking
some questions. For example:
S. The rabbit ate.
T. The rabbit ate what?
S. The rabbit ate carrots.
Clarification and elicitation are the preferred methods of error correction. Through using either of
these two methods, the teacher is not telling the student that he or she is wrong or that he or
she has made a mistake. These methods also allow the students to think for themselves. Explicit
correction, on the other hand, can prohibit the use of conversation and can also embarrass the
students in front of their peers as they are being told that they have made a mistake. Using
recast as a method of correction is not highly effective as students do not necessarily distinguish
the difference between what they said and what the teacher said.

Q6. How should teachers approach teaching students of a variety of different levels in
one class?
There are usually many students in one class. This makes it difficult to give students individual
attention. Teachers are required to develop ways to deal with the fact that there are students at
different levels within one class. Group learning and/or peer learning is one way to overcome
the problem. The teacher should also organize the seating arrangement in the class in a way that
will work best for him/her.
Teachers are advised to use a variety of teaching methods and materials as different students
learn more effectively in different ways. The use of reading materials and worksheets can
provide a good platform for the NEST to help the more advanced learners and for the Korean
teacher to provide help for the students who need supplementary learning.
Q8. How can the teacher teach culture in the English Class?
The Korean English Elementary curriculum does require the NEST to provide some level of
cultural content in the class. This should be taught in order to help the students communicate
appropriately in social situations. The basis for teaching culture is that the students will have a
deeper understanding of how to speak and behave in different social circumstances when using
English.

Q10. What are NSETs required to do during their non-teaching hours at school?
Any time spent not teaching during working hours should generally be used to prepare for future
classes. This time is an opportunity for the NSET and the Korean teacher(s) to discuss lessons,
ideas etc. Also, during this time, teachers should make teaching materials (flashcards, games
materials etc.) and lesson plans. This time should be used wisely and teachers should ensure
that they are well prepared for the next day.
Q11. How can teachers motivate students to be active and answer questions in class?
Students generally tend to not answer questions for two reasons:
1. the students do not understand the question
2. the students are not interested in the class
It is important for teachers to try to be patient with students. The Korean teacher can help the
NSET to distinguish whether students are not responding due to a lack of understanding or a
lack of interest. Teachers should ask questions using simple language which will help the
students to be comfortable in responding. Teachers can ask simple Yes/No questions to make the
task easier for students. Also, small rewards such as stickers can also encourage and motivate
students to participate.
Q12. How much translation by the Korean teacher is appropriate in a co-teaching class?
The best co-teaching classes do not require any translation. The Korean teacher's role is not to
translate everything the NSET says. Translation may occur in a class to simply confirm the
students' listening comprehension. English should be the main language in the classroom and the
teachers should speak clearly and at an appropriate level for the class. Teachers can ask
advanced students to translate instructions in Korean and the Korean teacher can confirm whether
or not the students understand.

students and slower learners to participate without feeling embarrassed. Teachers should always
try to be patient with slow learners and praising them can help them to be more confident in
the future.
Rewards such as coupons, stickers and certificates are excellent ways to encourage learners. They
are useful tokens of praise.
Q14. What is the dress code for Elementary school teachers in Korea?
It is widely believed that teachers are role models for students. Also, Elementary Schools in
Korea are professional environments. Therefore, teachers are required to dress semi-formally.
While formal business attire is not required, teachers must be presentable and smart. Teachers
should not wear clothes that are too revealing or too casual such as low cut tops, skimpy skirts,
sweat suits etc.
Q15. What level of language should a teacher use in the classroom for communicating?
The teacher should be aware of the overall level of the class and try to speak in a level of
English most appropriate for that class. It is encouraged that teachers speak in exaggerated tones
of voice and that they speak using simple sentences. English Elementary teachers should try to
restrict their vocabulary and simplify their language so that the students can understand the
teacher as much as possible. The use of physical movements such as gestures and miming is
highly recommended as it can further enhance students' comprehension.
