Directions for Presentational Writing: Korean Assignment
For the Presentational Writing section of the test, you will write an essay in Korean in response to an assignment.
Read the assignment carefully before you begin to write. Think about how you will organize your essay. You should use your time to plan, write, review, and edit your essay. You may use the erasable notebooklet to make notes, write an outline, or otherwise prepare your response. However, your final response to the assignment must be written on the response sheets and scanned using the scanner provided at your workstation.
Instructions for scanning your Response Sheets are available by clicking the "Scanning Help" button at the top of the screen.
Your response will be evaluated according to the following criteria:
- APPROPRIATENESS: the extent to which the response is an essay written in the candidate's own words, states an opinion on the issue presented in the question, and uses language, style, and sociocultural conventions appropriate for the assignment (task, purpose, audience, and context or situation)
- SUPPORT: the extent to which the response supports and explains the stated opinion with the candidate's own relevant ideas or examples
- ORGANIZATION: the extent to which the response is a well-organized and coherent essay that communicates clear ideas, develops a logical conclusion, and uses cohesive devices to connect sentences
- GRAMMAR: the extent to which the response uses a range of appropriate grammatical constructions, time frames, sentence structures, and mechanics (i.e., spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and diacritical marks)
- VOCABULARY: the extent to which the response uses a range of appropriate vocabulary and academic and/or idiomatic language
Your response will be evaluated on the criteria above, not on the position you take. Your response must be written in your own words.
You may use the erasable notebooklet provided to take notes; however, you will be scored only on the response that you type in the response box for the assignment.

의심의 여지없이, 온라인 교육과 학습은 학교에서 유용하고 효과적으로 활용될 수 있습니다. 인터넷에서는 여러 언어로 정보와 자료를 무제한으로 찾을 수 있습니다. 온라인 정보는 학생들과 다양한 언어로 개념을 공유하게 해줍니다. 온라인 정보는 모든 학생들이 효과적으로 학습할 수 있게 합니다.
교사로서 저는 학교의 다양한 기술을 제 수업에서 활용합니다. 그 결과, 학생들이 서로의 학습물을 공유하고, 다음에 사용할 수 있도록 변경사항을 기록하고 저장하면서 얼마나 참여율이 증가하는지를 볼 수 있습니다. 또한, 학생들의 개개인의 학습 방식에 따라 맞춤 교육을 할 수 있습니다. 저는 보통 제 수업에서 학생들이 개별적으로나 모둠으로 찾아보고 싶어하는 비디오, 음악, 그리고 블로그를 활용합니다. 많은 경우, 학생들이 주제에 관심이 있을 때에는 자신들이 새로운 자료를 찾아와서 저와 공유하기도 합니다.
또한 저는 온라인으로 퀴즈를 제공할 수 있는 편리함을 좋아합니다. 퀴즈 이후 온라인으로 바로 학생들에게 제 의견을 제공할 수 있기 때문입니다. 어디에 문제가 있는지를 바로 발견 할 수 있습니다. 학생들은 오답을 즉시 수정받을 수 있기 때문에 도움이 됩니다.
이처럼 온라인 자료들은 모든 학생들이 교육을 더 쉽게 접하는데 기여하고 이중 언어 발전을 도와줍니다. 이는 또한 학생들이 학교 안팍에서 디지털 기술로 정보에 접근하고 그것을 평가하는 능력을 준비시켜 줍니다.

저는 학생들의 삶의 경험이 수업에 활용될 수 있다고 생각합니다.
제가 학생이었을 때, 선생님들께서 제가 겪었던 일들을 언급하시고 이를 바탕으로 새로운 수업내용을 전개하실 때, 저는 특별하고 귀중한 존재가 된 것처럼 느꼈습니다. 수업시간에 선생님들이 제 경험들을 언급하실 때마다 기뻐했던 기억이 납니다. 다른 친구들도 수업 토론에서 자신들의 경험이 예시로 사용될 때 아주 좋아했었습니다. 이것은 학습을 더 쉽게 만드는 강력한 연결 고리를 만들어 내도록 도와줍니다. 그래서 교사가 된 이후에, 새로운 수업을 할 때 활용하려고 학생들의 문화적 배경과 체험들에 대해 알아보려고 노력합니다.
예를 들어, 사회 수업 시간에, 학생들의 고국 지도를 벽에 걸어 둡니다. 학생들이 미국의 지리에 대해 배우면서 강과 산들의 위치를 찾을 때, 학생들에게 자신의 고국의 지리와 지형에 대해서 벽에 걸린 지도에서 가리키면서 설명할 기회를 줍니다. 때로는 다른 나라들의 차이점과 유사점에 대해 서로 토론하기도 합니다. 이런 방식은 수업참여도를 높이고, 문화적으로 포용적인 환경에서 자신의 관점을 공유할 기회를 줍니다.
끝으로, 학생들의 생활적인 경험과 배경을 통합하는 것은 학습을 용이하게 하고 모든 학생들이 서로 연관되어 있고, 존중받고, 가치가 있다고 느끼는 문화적으로 포용적인 교실환경을 만듭니다.
