Reflective Blog EAP 2022 by Seulgee Kim https://padlet.com/10014931_3/5pk003rl3e6t7ip7 en-us 2022-07-28 06:29:52 UTC 2025-12-23 01:10:43 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/26be.png 10014931_3 https://padlet.com/10014931_3/5pk003rl3e6t7ip7/wish/2251039308 When I decided to attend an EAP course for 8 weeks, I felt nervous and disappointed by myself because I failed the IELTS test several times, so I participate the EAP course.

However, after I attended the class first time, I felt satisfied with it. I met some tutors who teach me to develop my English well. Especially, Sandy is a my class teacher and I love her British accent. I learned about Reading skills on Tuesday and attended a Webinar on Wednesday. I could listen three wonderful artists such as Eunsum Lim, Eve Lin, Sohalia Baluch and Adan Walekr. Among beautiful artists, Eunsum Lim is a Korean as me, so I was so glad meet her. Her video was excellent to express what she thought. I attached my comments on this padlet. After the Webinar, I met my group project's mates who do projects together. I would like to learn Speaking skills today. I am so excited about this class with my teacher ‘Sandy’ and classmates. In addition, I sad because I cannot get an email account form RCA. I hope that get the account as soon as possible.

During this week, there is five sections that I learned such as art & design academic skills, reading, speaking discussion skills, language structure and webinar.

On Monday, I learned mind mapping and how should I make a structure and also the way of expanding. Actually, I knew the mind mapping which is quite useful method to think ideas. On Tuesday, I read 'Sick Woman Theory and 'The Wretched of the Earth'. On Wednesday, I attended webinar which I could meet wonderful artists such as Chenyue Yuan, Claire Van Rhyn, Isis Dove Edwin and Matasha Fontenelle. On Thursday, I learned language structure and grammar for my academic writing. It is pretty difficult to me because the structure of English and Korea is different all. I also know about the way of pharagraph as well. I read the article 'Luxury in Fashion Reconsidered'. Friday is a speaking day and I learned to express my identity and my work in this lesson. I also learned art and design academic skills and reading lessons to understand English for using on my major in the future. I didn't attend international lesson before, so everything was surprising. I also worried about my abilities to understand what Sandy's explain.

I could understand the classes before 2 weeks because I'm getting familiar with the EAP course. In this week, I learned many things such as research and process of enquiry skills, speech skills and discussion skills. I heard about 'Assessment Tasks' and I am so afraid it.

On Monday, Sandy explained about 'Speaking Assessment 1' based on the concept that I am exploring in my writing. I watched two presentations like 'World and Materiality' and 'Theme 2' with classmates. On Tuesday, I attended library introduction from 11 to 12 am instead of class. I also learned 'TALIS reading platform', but I cannot access yet because I do not have an account yet. I read reading skills' presentation on Tuesday. On Wednesday, I listened beautiful presentations from artists such as

I learned the critical analysis at first time ever, this way was for pure writing that
I never learn about it in Korea, so It is new and fresh for me. I need to focus on studying the writing assessment and Sandy's feedback. I learned to critically analyse points of discussion and reflect on different perspectives from others. I got a Writing 2 check-up with Sandy this week. I was so nervous about it, because I want to be recognised after this class.

I attended the webinar, which introduces gorgeous artists '

Peini yu & Linci Zhu' who I never met before. The artists have different purposes, it looks cool and magnificent. They have an aim to wear the artwork on the body and face, so they made many accessaries and it can be adapted for application as a virtual graphic fashion. Two people made together, so their art works are highly perfected.

This opportunity was so impressive for me, I experienced many useful and practical classes. The EAP course was just too tight. First week, I could not adapt well, but was getting better. I am so lucky because I could meet wonderful my class tutor, Sandy and classmates!

Making references in this essay are not easy to me. I should familiar with it. I know it is needed to write my essay and thesis later to attend class, so I need to focus on this work.

First of all, I decided to write with the topic 'UX design' which includes UX history, double diamond design process of the British design council and usability test. However, I missed my topic sentences in my writing, so I wrote many words about these histories. I regretted it. I felt it was not easy to make academic writing.

I was trying to edit my writing, I could add about critical things. It was good moments to think that how I should write an academic writing. I was happy to learn the writing in this opportunity called an EAP course. I mean it.

Finally, I could admit the assessment in deadline! I knew after admitting that I got a similarity over 30% on the Moodle. I surprised that I missed many referencing. Ahhhh.... I'm going to fix it again.

I love that classed on Thursday and Friday 'load an image to this Critical Visual Analysis Task', because I can imagine only watching one image. I prepared

'Nikki S. Lee, Projects Series (1997–2001)' that I love it.

To be written summary, the clone human’s life in the future is empty and full of sadness. They also have property voice and sound of the characteristics, it leads the story of the movie. Lack of curiosity about the future, which unexpected. Disparity between the rich and the poor. According to the standard of wealth, people divided into different levels from the clone who can live longer to the other clone who disappear after using.
I saw more than over three times after class because I felt sad and curiosity. In the film, the clone used for another clone who are rich and have a power. They died after using, it is similar to now I think. The author wrote and made this film about the humans called clones and negative future by this animation as a critical philosophy.

I love that talking with my classmates in this class while watching together and we could discuss. I could heard different opinions and it made me think diversity. ]]> 2022-08-21 14:54:03 UTC https://padlet.com/10014931_3/5pk003rl3e6t7ip7/wish/2266562803 seulgeekim632 https://padlet.com/10014931_3/5pk003rl3e6t7ip7/wish/2266566497 2022-08-21 15:02:37 UTC https://padlet.com/10014931_3/5pk003rl3e6t7ip7/wish/2266566497 seulgeekim632 https://padlet.com/10014931_3/5pk003rl3e6t7ip7/wish/2266566594 2022-08-21 15:02:54 UTC https://padlet.com/10014931_3/5pk003rl3e6t7ip7/wish/2266566594 seulgeekim632 https://padlet.com/10014931_3/5pk003rl3e6t7ip7/wish/2266566960 2022-08-21 15:03:56 UTC https://padlet.com/10014931_3/5pk003rl3e6t7ip7/wish/2266566960 seulgeekim632 https://padlet.com/10014931_3/5pk003rl3e6t7ip7/wish/2266569444 2022-08-21 15:11:44 UTC https://padlet.com/10014931_3/5pk003rl3e6t7ip7/wish/2266569444 seulgeekim632 https://padlet.com/10014931_3/5pk003rl3e6t7ip7/wish/2266569579 2022-08-21 15:12:13 UTC https://padlet.com/10014931_3/5pk003rl3e6t7ip7/wish/2266569579 seulgeekim632 https://padlet.com/10014931_3/5pk003rl3e6t7ip7/wish/2266569735 2022-08-21 15:12:23 UTC https://padlet.com/10014931_3/5pk003rl3e6t7ip7/wish/2266569735 seulgeekim632 https://padlet.com/10014931_3/5pk003rl3e6t7ip7/wish/2267149001 If I had not attended the EAP course, I would be failing at RCA. Seriously.

This week, I could experience 'Synthesising Sources exercise' , but It was absolutely difficult for me. During this time, I worked with classmates to make writing using many sources form referencing. We tried to figure out, but there were mistakes in our communication. If we met face to face, it will be better I am sure.

Many assessments I have to do every week, so I should do!
There were deadline to submission the assessments as speaking 2 and writing 2. I did it!
