Hanji
Hanji is the name of the handmade paper produced
in ancient Korea from the 1st century BCE. Made from
mulberry trees, its exceptional quality made it a successful
export, and it was widely used not only for writing but also
for interior walls and everyday objects, such as fans and
umbrellas. Hanji, famed throughout Asia for its whiteness,
texture, and strength, is still made today in specialized
Korean workshops.
Initially Korean paper was made using hemp fiber, but
the highest quality hanji was, for many centuries, made only
from the pith of mulberry trees (tak in Korean, Latin:
Broussonetia papyrifera). The toughness of hanji meant that
it was ideally suited for use in printing presses that used
blocks made from magnolia wood, which had been soaked
and boiled in saltwater and then dried for several years
before use. Each block was 24x4x64cm and carried 23 lines
of vertical text on each side. These were then covered in ink
and paper was pressed against them. The resilience of hanji
was especially useful from the 12th century CE when
printing was done using heavier moveable metal type made
of bronze, a Korean invention.
In the Joseon Period (from the 15th century CE), such
was the demand for hanji, that Sejong the Great (r. 1418 -
1450 CE) permitted other plant materials to be used in its
manufacture, especially bamboo. The paper was made in
specialized workshops in the capital and the five provincial
capitals. The hanji which was produced for state use was
supervised by a government agency, the Chonjo-chang.

Swan (2005) explains that phonology is the study of the sound systems of languages,
particularly how sounds function to convey meaning. This involves analyzing the
arrangement and patterns of sounds (phonemes) in a particular language.
Which phonological process is responsible for the phenomenon where the sound /t/ is pronounced as [ʧ] (a voiceless postalveolar affricate) in the word "nature" due to the influence of the following /ʊr/?

Effective listening skills can enhance language learning. Consequently, teaching L2 listening
effectively has become a crucial responsibility for language educators. Anna Chang (In:
RENANDYA & WIDODO, 2016) outlines a theory-driven listening lesson, consisting of three
stages: pre-listening, while-listening and post-listening. Connect each stage with its
purposes, using the following code:
I. Pre-listening II. While-listening III. Post-listening
( ) Verify understanding, clear up any confusion, and consider challenges faced during listening.
( ) Engage in straightforward tasks that require minimal writing or reading.
( ) Complete tasks of various difficulty levels, focusing on different elements of the information.
( ) Define the objectives for listening exercises.
( ) Stimulate relevant prior knowledge and provide language support.
The correct association, from top to bottom, is:

TEXT:
Flipped learning – could it work for you?
Exploring the benefits, challenges and tips for success
By Stephanie Hirschman
October 2, 2023
Flipped learning is very much a buzz word these days, and it’s worth thinking about whether this approach is suitable for your
lessons. It’s quite easy to define: whereas a more traditional model of teaching involves some sort of initial input (for example a
lecture or demonstration) followed by some sort of related output (for example a discussion or experiment) with some homework to follow, in flipped learning, this order is disrupted. Students do their homework before the class meets by watching a recorded lecture or video or reading an article. This enables them to spend the lesson time on activities which make a more significant contribution to their deep understanding and mastery of important ideas, for example, discussion, roleplay or presentations. It sits well within blended learning as the pre-lesson homework is likely to be accessed online, while the class activities are conducted face-to-face.
Why is it important?
Flipped learning makes good use of technology, allowing students to approach the input at their own level. Some may need to view a video several times more than would be possible in a group classroom setting, with frequent pauses and rewinding to ensure that they have recognized the main points. It’s also possible for students to explore other aspects of a topic, either using further links that the teacher provides, or finding other relevant resources to explore on their own. Finally, they can do the work when and where they wish, and even make use of otherwise “dead” time, like waiting for a bus.
How relevant is it for English language teaching (ELT)?
It’s important to recognize that flipped learning was not developed with ELT contexts in mind. In a language lesson, we may find
students reading a text about, say, major infrastructure projects, but this content is merely a vehicle for some other language point like expressing high numbers or making comparisons. During a conventional English lesson, the teacher would be guiding students through the text, encouraging prediction and other strategies and setting achievable reading or listening tasks to check basic understanding, before introducing key language points in a staged presentation. This would be followed by controlled practice and freer production. It’s not easy to see how this pattern of brief but meaningful interactive activities maps onto flipped learning. ELT texts, even at advanced levels, tend to be too short to be worth exploring in depth, unlike a 30-minute lecture or video that students of other subjects may be watching. Of course, it could be argued that the true content of the lesson, ie the language point, could be the subject of flipped learning, with students watching a presentation on this subject before the class meets. However, this removes the language point from an engaging and meaningful context and furthermore, working alone robs students of the opportunity to ask questions and discuss emergent ideas about meaning, which are key elements of communicative learning.
Tips for success
Nonetheless, it is possible to flip an ELT classroom, with some adjustments:
1. Flipped learning would suit certain types of ELT which are heavily content based, like CLIL or Business. Mature students are more likely to have the motivation required to implement this approach sensibly.
2. It makes sense to devote the final stages of a lesson to introducing the content that students will explore independently before the next class meeting. This should include a justification of why the content was chosen, how students should approach it and how they can check their understanding. Providing some comprehension questions is a minimum. If answers aren’t furnished, the next class meeting could open with an activity to discuss and check these.
3. The teacher must provide an easy and reliable way for students to access the content, for example via an online learning system.
4. It’s reasonable to expect that students will require training and a settling-in period, as they come to terms with the demands of the new system. It could even be worth trialing the routine during a face-to-face lesson, with students accessing content on their phones or laptops, and with some reminders about how to approach a reading text (for example skimming and scanning) or how to make good use of technology to ensure effective listening (for example, rewinding, user slower speed settings or making use of a tape script).
5. Because of the investment required in learner training, flipped learning will be tricky to implement in programs with continuous enrolment. It’s far more suitable for a setting with a termly or yearly intake date.
6. Even when the system is up and running, there will probably always be a number of students who have not prepared adequately for the lesson. This will affect how successful follow-up activities are and the teacher needs some strategies in place to address this.

READ TEXT III AND ANSWER THE QUESTION THAT FOLLOWS IT:
Plastic Dreams
by Sarah Thompson
Plastic dreams, oh plastic dreams, a vision turned nightmare,
Once a symbol of progress, now a burden we must bear.
Our landfills overflow with your synthetic remains,
A haunting testament to our unsustainable chains.
Plastic dreams, oh plastic dreams, a promise unfulfilled,
Your convenience a facade, your consequences concealed.
Let us wake from this slumber, this toxic desire,
To create a world where nature's essence can inspire.
In our hands lies the power, to choose a different fate,
To abandon plastic dreams and embrace a sustainable state.
For only through conscious choices, can we break this vicious spell,
And ensure a future where our planet and poetry can dwell.
