Good Sunday, class:

Please email me your presentation, (both PPT and the words you'll say onto a Word document, so I can edit your words and help with any anxiety or fear that you have, if not yes I allowed the option to several students not to hand in anything at all, but I behooved them otherwise).

Two videos I recommend.

Class:

I am a little sad, many of you forgot to write down your top 5 mistakes for your mid-term. ;(


 1. Anyways, yesterday a student mentioned how she loved watching Aran's YouTube videos! I thought it was a great idea to share her talks for some great inspiration!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaeiSM6y2_4 (Her voice is lowered than the theme music, so be ready to increase your volume for your speakers.)

Here's her first video, but I originally wanted to find her Ted Talk on volunteering in a shelter home. I searched for an hour, but I believe it's been deleted. It was so great, and made me fall in love with the character Aran is!

*Cross of fingers* I hope she replies back with the link~

 2. This is Billy in England. A native Korean who is really fun to watch on YouTube! *Enjoy!* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mac6Cqset5E (When I first watched this video a month ago, I thought of Singaporeans, la.)

I'll be learning a lot teaching this weekend! Saturday and Sunday are days for me to learn more about how to teach!

Wow, I just wanted to post 2 good YouTube videos for you guys. This is becoming a diary. I learned we need to stand up in our mid-term exams. I'll start printing our note cards for you to write to me anonymously about anything--maybe what you'll do for the rest of the day or what you thought about the class. This is called a CommuniCard.

They will be handed out at the end of every class.


Next class, we will chart out your language proficiency progress on graph paper our analysis in our life before the mid-term and then after the mid-term.

Hello class:

There has been an update. 

No class is on May 3rd.

We can postpone watching ourselves on the video recording for May 10th.

The Mid-Term 

Rules to follow:

1. Speaking more words gets you the more points!
So, the more you talk, the better your score will be! *Let's be brave!* (By the way, great work, 1st half of the class! 4/19/2017 was a success!! Wahoo!)

2. Using vocabulary vitamins from Unit 1 & 2 will give you more points!
*See images below.*

3. Grammar structure doesn't count--this is why you can
fix your mistakes when you type and still get full credit for your words, even if they are wrong!

4. Please send me your midterm by email at susankangteaches@gmail.com on May 3rd. (Update: We DO NOT come to class on this day.)




To see an EXAMPLE of last year's mid-term, view below.
*HINT HINT*: The white box is there with the same exact text. Please COPY AND PASTE into your Microsoft Word document, so that you, too can take the word count of how many terms you used. Then, count how many comments or questions you made (also known as how many times you spoke--in this example below, he spoke 23 times) during your 20-min mid-term. *^^* --Please, always call or email if you have any questions--I'm serious, any questions at all~~!!
