Welcome to the class! I hope you find this blog to be useful. Please save the link and check back for additional materials and more details about assignments. I will be making posts throughout the semester. You will also find links to your classmates' e-journals, so check those and read your each other's writing, too.
For the first entry in your e-journal, you should write a short self-introduction. You will find my self-introduction below:
My full name is Kyle Andrew Brebner,
but you can just call me Kyle. I grew up in Woodbridge, Virginia, which
is near Washington, DC. I went to a small school called Guilford College
in Greensboro, North Carolina where I studied History, Peace &
Conflict Studies, and African American Studies. Then I got a master’s
degree in International Peace Studies from the United Nations University
for Peace in Costa Rica. At that time, I was hoping to work for an NGO,
the UN, or some international development organization, but it didn’t
work out. Instead, I came to South Korea and started teaching English. I
first came here in 2007 and I only expected to stay for one year, but
I’m still here! I quickly realized that I really like teaching English,
so I have continued to study more about it. I graduated from
Indiana University with a Master of Education degree in
Literacy, Culture, and Language Education, with a specific focus on
ESL/EFL Instruction. My wife, Soyoun, and I got married in 2013, and our
first daughter, Ellie Minseo Brebner, was born in 2014. Our second daughter, Laina Eunseo Brebner, was just born a few days ago (August 29, 2016). Regarding my interests and hobbies, I
really like traveling and learning about different cultures. I have
been fortunate enough to travel around the U.S., Latin America, Europe,
and Asia. There are so many more places I hope to go! I'm also really
into sports, especially ice hockey, baseball, and American football.
Finally, I like reading, listening to music and podcasts, and watching
TV. I look forward to getting to know you all in this class!
