✨ A Huge Thank You! ✨
We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who joined us for today’s workshop and community gathering. Thanks to your energy, ideas, and support, the afternoon was an incredible success — filled with learning, laughter, and connection. 💡📚💬

From launching our “Put the Fun in Fundraiser” Silent Auction to exploring practical strategies in Corrine T. Spencer’s inspiring workshop on Emergency English for Non-Native Speakers, every moment was made richer by your participation. The Idea Swap Shop was buzzing with creativity, and we loved seeing so many useful tips and resources exchanged among educators.

A special shoutout to our friends at Silent Book Club Jeonju for collaborating with us and helping make the day even more meaningful. And of course, thank you to everyone who supported the Silent Auction — your contributions directly help us grow and create more events like this. 🙌
We truly had so much fun together, and we couldn’t have done it without YOU. 💖
Here’s to building a stronger, supportive teaching community — one event, one idea, and one connection at a time. See you at our next gathering! 🎉!

On June 7th we had our first official workshop at Jeonbuk National University in the education building. We had new people attend and a large room.

Gabriela Villafradez presented Beyond the Classroom: Teaching English through Cooking and Art. She feels that students need human interaction to learn languages so she experimented using British ads and cooking to create group based interaction and both verbal and nonverbal communication. She also used task and project based learning. With authentic input, you get real life communication.

Our second workshop had Yuying Kang's How to Use PRAAT Software for Research and Teaching. She demonstrated PRAAT, which is a research application used to record voices. Her demonstration included many people speaking English, which we listened to, and then had to guess ethnic origins and countries. I felt like a version of Henry Higgins in "My Fair Lady" listening to recordings of Eliza Doolittle and guessing where she is from.

We're making plans this summer for our autumn events. Stay tuned! Be on the lookout for our next gathering the first weekend of September.

In addition, The English Connection summer edition is out. Get in touch if you'd like to take a look at one.

You'll see within its pages that there's an article by one of our own JNJ members!

Also, head over to the International conference website (as can be found with the QR Code) to check out the Displays page. vendors are still open for business!

Earlier this month, there was the KOTESOL International Conference. So rather than more classroom time with workshops, we decided to head outdoors and get a feel for our new home base: Jeonbuk National University.
It was a really great day!
We look forward to welcoming many participants for our first workshop here on June 7th.
