The American who walked into the turmoil of Korean history

After graduating from university, David wanted to make a positive change in the world. He joined the Peace Corps and arrived in South Korea in 1978. He was bestowed with a Korean name, Im Dae-oon and it was his name throughout his time in Korea. He was assigned to serve as a tuberculosis worker in Yeongam, a town in Korea's southwest. He fell in love with the country's food, scenery, and people.

On May 18, 1980, David arrived in Gwangju to transfer buses to his home, Yeongam. Tim Warnberg, his friend and fellow Peace Corps Volunteer, told him that there was brutal violence against any young people seen in the streets. He came back home but he continued to hear that the violence was getting worse and the phone lines to Gwangju had been cut. David set out for the city to check on Tim and his Korean friends.

What is the Gwangju Uprising?

The 1980 Gwangju Uprising was a people's uprising by the citizens of Gwangju in response to the brutal and harsh suppression of student protests carried out by the Korean military after their leaders declared martial law and took over the country. It began on May 18 and ended the early morning of May 27, 1980. It began in Gwangju, the capital of South Jeolla province, but also expanded beyond the city to involve the southern half of the province. It is the most inspiring and heartbreaking event in South Korea's modern history.

Inside the book

How did I get here? I asked myself that question many times during the events of May 1980. I had asked it on May 16 as I listened to plans for the student-led torchlight march that night, I asked it on May 21 as I walked into the city, I asked it that early morning on May 25, and I will probably ask it until the end of my life. I never realized where it would all take me, or how it would all fit into a journey of a lifetime. -From the Preface-

There was a finality to this day unlike any of the other days I had spent in the Provincial Capital. Running through my mind were worries about the final outcome, and how high the death toll might be. I could not figure out how I would be able to cope with it all. How do you deal with the possibility of a large number of people you know all dying in a short period of time? -From Funerals and farewells

Artificial Intelligence in Education: Fundamentals for Educators presents those issues in artificial intelligence (AI) that are of concern to teachers when coming to understand the various aspects involved with the field, and how they relate and can be applied to those in education. This includes developing a working knowledge of the key concepts behind AI, and an understanding of the characteristics and evolution of the field itself. The benefits, risks, biases, and ethics involved with AI design, development, and deployment are also considered, and this includes aspects of AI and human perception, how these differ, and what this means practically. The manner in which we can naturally come to interact with AI systems, along with an understanding of the differences and similarities between human-machine learning. After these fundamentals are established, the five big ideas in AI for education are introduced, and the more integral aspects of each, including their implications for society, are examined. This establishes a grounding for presenting what it now means to be teaching and learning in the era of the fourth industrial revolution; how digital assistants and voice user interfaces, along with chatbots and robots, can be applied in the teaching and learning context, particularly that of English language learning; and how the design thinking process can assist in the development of pedagogical projects in educational workplaces. The text also has a companion workbook in which all of the activities presented can be completed.

As teachers taught through the global pandemic that began in Asia during the later months of 2019 and has since gripped the world, they have employed technology and their training to lead educational change. They have achieved this by riding the wave of a paradigm shift for the mainstream provision of education, predominantly by rising to the challenge of adapting to and delivering emergency remote teaching. Changes moving forward will likely continue with the ever-increasing digitalization of education, the hybridization of education on return to the classroom, and the possible increase of blended and distance learning offerings institution-wide (along with an increasing need to develop asynchronous and synchronous online and offline learning activities and opportunities for learners).This book puts forth a snapshot of how English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers in the Republic of Korea professionally handled the 'COVID crisis', and how they now see their craft, their administrative, teaching, and learning contexts, as well as how their learners should be educated in not only a post-pandemic but possibly a COVID endemic world. It is, therefore, an essential read for any educator, student, administrator, or stakeholder involved with the teaching of English to speakers of other languages (TESOL), particularly those who want to understand how pre-service and in-service teachers are honing their teaching craft, and how post-pandemic pedagogy is currently impacting the educational sector.

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.
