Some of the comments are a little mean. As an Asian I'm a bit biased perhaps. I love a native speaker teaching English but sometimes a good non-native speaker teacher is better than a native speaker who doesn't know how to teach and is just plain arrogant and whines about how bad people's English are. I'm also not a teacher but as a Korean language student, I know how it is like to be in the students' perspective. She probably has a slight accent but my own English teacher told me, "you don't have to force yourself sound like an American/British just because you're learning English". Those kids are learning something and if you push them too hard, they probably hate English class at some point. I'm not saying its a popularity contest with the teachers either because teachers change. The kids just needs to get used to being vocal without being judged, that's what this teacher is good at. Confidence is a built up thing and it doesn't happen overnight.
Drama mama, i can't but wish you well student from Korea. Your very as to the perceptive and distinctions between teacher methods is acute. Incidentally, "perhaps biased"'? Not at all! Take care drama mama and do not over act in this play of life with your seemly knowledge of English.
As a teacher, it makes me sad to read all these comments. Yeah, sure! the lesson was not perfect, but being honest: do all of you prepare perfect lessons every day? Why not being happy for her! Her effort is what lead her to win an award.
I'm so impressed with her classroom management! Respect! I'm applying to get into a tefl course in New York this fall. God willing, I hope I can land a job in Korea and be as successful as she is!
You guys should consider the fact that she probably received an award based on her student's grades. The students probably also voted for her. This lesson is being recorded which can be nerve-wracking and does not showcase her day to day teaching.
The teacher can create a lively atmosphere but I find it not real for the students answered in chorus very evenly. It seemed that they all had known the materials before the teacher taught.
How do you know she didn't pre-teach the vocabulary? Have you ever seen a class that is taught vocabulary on the run? It's an awful way to teach and learn. The students are often confused. Many get left behind trying to catch up, and in language learning, that could be devastating. Pre-teach the vocabulary, or give them the list a day before, and let them study the words. So, when they get to class, valuable class time isn't wasted teaching new words, and the activities are then used to gauge what the students know, and what need to be covered, and for the rest of the course, the teacher can know if she can count on the students to actually do the work at home.
The teacher clearly has a good rapport with her class and is capable of making engaging materials. Unfortunately she misses clear and obvious opportunities to allow the students communicative practise. Language is all about communication - and there was very little opportunity for that in this lesson. Utilise activities and discussion tasks to maximise the time that all students are producing in class. Limit the time that the teacher, or only a small number of students are speaking. Some excellent advice I one received is that if your class is going well, the teacher should be pretty bored because all the students are producing or communicating independently. A student-centred approach to learning is usually the best way to provide authentic communication.
As a teacher in Korea she must be at an advanced school, all of the students are so well behaved and interactive. Also these lessons are also practiced. For my open class in front of the board of education I literally did the exact same lesson three times with the class before hand at my school's insistence. Just so it would appear the students were geniuses, don't want the higher-ups to actually see a real class, it was more like acting in a play.
Wow, there are so many angry and jealous people in the comment section. This is a good lesson. The students are engaged and following the lesson without distraction. The teacher's lesson goals are clearly presented in a timely manner, and therefore are easy to practice and learn. Her classroom management is respectful and effective. She gets the students up and out of their chairs. She has plenty of visuals.
In the States, we use both terms all the time. It makes sense that she would use entree because Koreans mostly learn American English, and since entree would be slightly less common, it gives students exposure to what might be a new word.
OK, I'm going to climb into the stirrups of my pedagogical high-horse called the Cambridge DELTA and give my observations up to the five minute mark.1.) The lesson objectives are not clear/explicit/accurate at the beginning of the lesson. The students are not going to 'Talk about going to the restaurant' but surely practice the functional/transactional language required to order food/make requests etc.2.) The topic lead-in done to death/laboured. 'When do we go to a restaurant/' (just about every day). Do they really need such time/teacher-talk to activate schemata for what is a very routine event?3.) Eliciting appetizer/entrée/dessert has some value, but very little of this is likely to be new vocabulary (menu/juice are Eng. loan words in Korea)4.) The CCQs + some of the teacher questions seem very redundant/display questions ('Why do we order drinks?). However, if they elicit language/ideas from sts. all the better.5.) Presentation + Practice of 'key expressions' at 2.59 very slapdash and amateurish. One choral drill, but where was the focus on stressed syllables/contractions/thought groups/tricky consonant clusters etc that Korean sts would benefit from. Sts. could have done some controlled practice closed pairs. Also, WHAT do the expressions do and how do they work (language function/pragmatic function)? I would use visuals/pictures and perhaps a 'discovery' task to determine who uses what expressions (e.g. server/customer). To be fair, this is pre-emptied in the practice dialogue.6.) The language model is rather unnatural and more elliptical/reduced grammar could be utilized (e,g, 'A coke please' vs 'May I have a coke')7.) No opportunities for students to ask/clarify meaning (yes I know all about the cultural expectations of student/teacher interaction in Korea) and no CCQs from teacher.Hope I have not burst any bubbles here!
Yeah, I will bite. I hate all that pedagogy. I had a licensed teacher telling me how to teach my university classes, but her students were by far inferior to mine. I simply presented as we would in the sciences to instill understanding so that students would not be stuck to only using what they have heard or read. One other side note since this is about linguistic acquisition, it a Coke. It is a proper noun. Were it written as a common noun (cola), it would be spelled with a lower case c.
You are trying to teach too many things in one lesson. The goal is not to overload the students. Her objectives were clearly posted on the board. Using your graduate school vocabulary only impresses your instructor for the limited time it takes to score your lesson plan.
Theres no engagement with the students. Sure, there's an activity, but the whole objective is for the students to engage and SPEAK english, at the same time while learning facts.
Before they can speak they need to hear and learn new things. Besides, they do speak here. She has a good balance between learning _new_ material or having a good amount of input and having the kids repeat it, think about it and communicate. Seriously, what's the problem? Are you a teacher? Learning isn't magic, it's not ALL about speaking.
This is completely different from how one of my Korean relatives is being taught in her school (she's in high-3). Basically, you're given a textbook, and pretty much the majority of it is highlighting verbs, nouns, adjectives, some choice answers and a few obscure phrases you're supposed to memorize. English here is being taught in an almost mathematic (even scientific if you will) manner that it's no wonder students lose themselves.
I kept thinking to myself "I'm just gonna teach young kids, I'm not gonna risk my health and stable stress level by teaching high school or even middle school" but they are so well behaved and are actually listening I think I'm gonna have trouble picking which grade levels I want to teach again cx
I really like how calm and confident she is. The lesson went smoothly:however, The sequence of the lesson itself seems a little bit strange for me.I think it would have been much better if she had started with the game, as It consolidates the key expressions that they have already been introduced to. Then, as a freer activity, They should work as team to deliver the role-play. Role playing is more difficult than the game, so It should be the last stage-I guess.
Safa Amoudi Thank you for you kind words. We usually use games at the end as a review activity, just to tie everything together. It helps the students practice the key expressions that were taught during the lesson.
I think she prepares good activities. I will use it to introduce vocabulary. Teachers please!! If you are looking this video I would like to motivate everyones to search new strategies to teach in the best way. So keep learning.
I wonder what English program you use, and the software for creating the game, the power point and even the kid's handout? Very nice and engaging lesson.
Thank you, I chose your video for a good reason, to help teachers, because it is so awesome! Then, go here: subscriptions.viddler.com/fresheyes -- promo code: ncea -- perhaps you would be interested in (1) becoming an associate for Fresh Eyes on Teaching because classroom video is a powerful tool for teacher improvement, or (2) you would rather have me take down your video. Just let me know. Associates contact local schools to initiate school memberships.
I don't understand why so many people are being mean. I applaud anyone who is teaching. I teach in a very urban setting in the United States. It is extremely difficult. I'm getting my ESL certificate, because I hate the way we (English-majority cultures) are marginalizing and treating people from different cultures. Then I open this and read these comments...
Dull and dry. No fizz in this lesson. Passive learning. yes she has good control but how many kids are engaging in the learning process? Harsh I know but if you give the title award winning teacher you expect some WoW.
The lesson was already practiced before filmed because the teacher wasnt able to explain the menu and then proceed with the activity. How come the students know that there was a Menu which they need knew to made a script for it. (and dont forget the prepared props)
The lesson was okay, but this is classic teaching in South Korea. I love how she started the lesson, but I have some concerns about the role play. Most Korean students I have encountered cannot have a real conversation without looking at a paper or power point to read. Many Korean teachers do the same kind of activities, yet most students still lack the ability to speak . This is in due part to the curriculum. The curriculum does have enough rigor, so many students remain stagnant.
She has the ability to teach well but I agree some things look staged. Also far too much teacher talk in my view. Good but certainly not award winning.
This is obviously rehearsed so not sure how useful it is except for revision tips. Also, to nitpick, it's usually best to check understanding before drilling pronunciation. It's also a good idea to drill individuals to check weaker learners' pron. and to keep them on their toes! It might have been useful to show concept and instruction check questions. It might also have been useful to give feedback to the learners after they showed their conversations. The teacher does seem to have a good rapport with the learners and it would be good to see an unrehearsed lesson.
What is the proficiency level of the class? Even though these students are probably more advanced being a private school, I know it's rehearsed so it's hard to tell how the students did the first time around..
Entree is NOT the main course (*Correction, it's not the main course in Europe - see below, (It IS the main course in America)) ! In Europe it's usually the starter or appetiser (the course before the main course, it can also apply to courses in between main courses.
Haha - you can double check it with Oxford dictionary and many other sources: If you read it carefully you'll find that we are both correct: as usual the Americans have changed the meaning from it's root linguistic meaning (entree = enter, or entre = between); so in America you are correct, but in Europe I am correct. Well actually I'm almost correct - it can be the starter if there is only one course before the main course - otherwise it is the course before the main course and can also apply to courses between main courses. Of course (pun intended) this is far more likely in France where it's not uncommon to have 6 courses or sometimes even more.
PS Wikipedia is generally an excellent source of information for precisely that reason - it is cross checked by so many sources and is generally comprehensive too. As with anything you should always cross check - something neither of us initially did. Living in Europe it's like asking me what breakfast is! I don't have to cross check it... until I discover that the Americans have made breakfast mean lunch ! :) I personally teach English as in England, not as in Americanized English: However if I am aware of discrepancies like this one I would always be diligent to inform my students of the contradictory meanings. So thank you for bringing this one to my attention.
Justin Marcus is correct. Wikipedia is an excellent source. It has citations from the primary literature and is peer-reviewed. Even in highly esoteric areas like organic and biochemistry, the content is excellent. I read it all the time for the natural science content. I have a made a few corrections, but they have been truly nuances. I have never found any huge errors.
Powerpoint is really good...I would use more audio-visual e.g. relevant short clips from youtube with a reward of a short but funny clip at the end of the lesson or a well known English language song e.g. whiter shade of pale etc...speaking like a native involves having a grasp of popular culture to an extent as well.
SuperUFB Thank you! Great point; however, due to time limits I had to be selective with activities. My aim was to allow the students to talk as much as possible.
thIS lesson seems be rehearsed many times. Students' responses are extremely the same. There was nothing unexpected. The lesson seems so smooth.....Actually, I feel like it is not the real case
"Then NOT forget (about) dessert" she said, instead of saying: "And don't forget about dessert". I have a question, is it OK for a non-native English-speaking person to teach the language. Well, as I can see, the answer is... yes, obviously yes, at least in Korea, heh-heh!
Good activities great teacher!....i think it could have been more dynamic for example leaving all the other kids to sit and watch instead of having them do something take notes, or maybe have 2 or 3 groups do the activity at the same time while other groups list and report what was said how much was spent and ordered...I always encourage more groups doing the activity while I take notes for feedback and anonymous corrections..then listen to the other groups give the report and see if they missed something...it takes more effort and skill but not impossible...plus it creates a real life situation and not a sterile class room set up that they will never encounter....i'm just saying :)
You can demo a good idea in less than sixty seconds, no need to record an entire class. Imagine if every teaching tip or technique required 30 minutes. Gotta get to the point.
I disagree. If you are wanting to become a teacher, it's helpful to be able to watch an entire class because it gives you a sense of what it's actually going to be. Not just the highlights, but the whole thing.
She is a native speaker. What did you specifically not like about her pronunciation? You have imperfections in your diction as well. Your sentence should be, "There are lots of flaws in her pronunciation." Remember the subject of a sentence never lies in a prepositional phrase. So, your subject and verb agreement (grammatical number) is off. Perhaps, you can post a method you think is better.
You pronounce words differently depending on where you come from it's like saying british people's pronunciation is wrong, just because you're American
+Martin van Kampen ...most boring class ever!EVER,. You gotz to be B-s+ing....You obviously have not taken Economics, and are so young. Good luck, keep the faith...and do you home work!.
Problem is.. they're just repeating what they're told. No explanation to most phrases. No role play in front of class, everyone sitting down crowded. Create a big circle and act it out.. have the scenario so people understand.. have the teacher get involved in the scene and say it while acting it out... lol
No wonder she won the award! I love how she engaged the students to do the role play. Made the lesson fun and engaging.
Some of the comments are a little mean. As an Asian I'm a bit biased perhaps. I love a native speaker teaching English but sometimes a good non-native speaker teacher is better than a native speaker who doesn't know how to teach and is just plain arrogant and whines about how bad people's English are.

'how bad people's English is' - fixed that for you. Was that just me being plain arrogant?
Drama mama, i can't but wish you well student from Korea. Your very as to the perceptive and distinctions between teacher methods is acute. Incidentally, "perhaps biased"'? Not at all!
Take care drama mama and do not over act in this play of life with your seemly knowledge of English.

***** maybe you should take it a third time.
As a teacher, it makes me sad to read all these comments. Yeah, sure! the lesson was not perfect, but being honest: do all of you prepare perfect lessons every day? Why not being happy for her! Her effort is what lead her to win an award.
Great ! you have proved that teaching is an art not just being a native english speaker.
Yup - she's an outstanding teacher. That's why she's still here after 5 years and amid cutbacks.
I think she is a great Teacher. I loved her.
I'm so impressed with her classroom management! Respect! I'm applying to get into a tefl course in New York this fall. God willing, I hope I can land a job in Korea and be as successful as she is!
You guys should consider the fact that she probably received an award based on her student's grades. The students probably also voted for her. This lesson is being recorded which can be nerve-wracking and does not showcase her day to day teaching.
Yes. When there are open classes like this, your school can send you there if they'd like. Since I had just started teaching, this was a good thing.
That blackboard is BEAUTIFUL.
Anyone would be an "award winning teacher" with a class that naturally responsive.
+thomas Crivellone Maybe they are naturally responsive because she's a good teacher...
So true.!
Word
Ouch! Hhhhh
She is avery good teacher
No. she just keeps a great attitude and tries to make classes fun
The teacher can create a lively atmosphere but I find it not real for the students answered in chorus very evenly. It seemed that they all had known the materials before the teacher taught.
Pretty sure they're reading off of a worksheet. Happened every day in my French class like this.
I guess it would have been better if she let one student answer the question rather than let them answer in chorus.
How do you know she didn't pre-teach the vocabulary? Have you ever seen a class that is taught vocabulary on the run? It's an awful way to teach and learn. The students are often confused. Many get left behind trying to catch up, and in language learning, that could be devastating. Pre-teach the vocabulary, or give them the list a day before, and let them study the words. So, when they get to class, valuable class time isn't wasted teaching new words, and the activities are then used to gauge what the students know, and what need to be covered, and for the rest of the course, the teacher can know if she can count on the students to actually do the work at home.
The teacher has taught them well enough that the students can be successful and still learn new things.
Teachers usually have their best studnets for the open classes. Both elementary and middle school have good and bad kids. Trust me!
Very well organized, articulate and well delivered. Good job
Gosh, I'd die for such disciplined and knowing students, real gems)))
The teacher clearly has a good rapport with her class and is capable of making engaging materials. Unfortunately she misses clear and obvious opportunities to allow the students communicative practise. Language is all about communication - and there was very little opportunity for that in this lesson.
Utilise activities and discussion tasks to maximise the time that all students are producing in class. Limit the time that the teacher, or only a small number of students are speaking.
Some excellent advice I one received is that if your class is going well, the teacher should be pretty bored because all the students are producing or communicating independently. A student-centred approach to learning is usually the best way to provide authentic communication.
As a teacher in Korea she must be at an advanced school, all of the students are so well behaved and interactive. Also these lessons are also practiced. For my open class in front of the board of education I literally did the exact same lesson three times with the class before hand at my school's insistence. Just so it would appear the students were geniuses, don't want the higher-ups to actually see a real class, it was more like acting in a play.
The observers are more concerned with the teacher they're spending money on.
Is this the actual video that made her an award-winning teacher?
It'd be nice to see the real cheese, wouldn't it?
Rubrics are not given before the group activity...how will you give their scores?
Wow, there are so many angry and jealous people in the comment section.
This is a good lesson.
The students are engaged and following the lesson without distraction.
The teacher's lesson goals are clearly presented in a timely manner, and therefore are easy to practice and learn. Her classroom management is respectful and effective. She gets the students up and out of their chairs. She has plenty of visuals.
Yes, and there's a computer at the desk too typically.
lol man if only this would work with my classes. The level is too low and half of them don't want to be there.
The use of physical props is awesome...student role play also good.
In London no-one uses entree really, its just "main course" (entree is french)
In the States, we use both terms all the time. It makes sense that she would use entree because Koreans mostly learn American English, and since entree would be slightly less common, it gives students exposure to what might be a new word.
What is the curriculum being used? What resource did you use to help you meet your objective?
Excellent! Hats Off!
Amazing job. Keep teaching.
OK, I'm going to climb into the stirrups of my pedagogical high-horse called the Cambridge DELTA and give my observations up to the five minute mark.1.) The lesson objectives are not clear/explicit/accurate at the beginning of the lesson. The students are not going to 'Talk about going to the restaurant' but surely practice the functional/transactional language required to order food/make requests etc.2.)

Eliciting appetizer/entrée/dessert has some value, but very little of this is likely to be new vocabulary (menu/juice are Eng. loan words in Korea)4.)

I would use visuals/pictures and perhaps a 'discovery' task to determine who uses what expressions (e.g. server/customer). To be fair, this is pre-emptied in the practice dialogue.6.)

Using your graduate school vocabulary only impresses your instructor for the limited time it takes to score your lesson plan.
I think answering in chorus is not really effective approach.
I would like to know if this was new material for the students or just a demo lesson with more advanced students.
I think they have already been taught this;this seems like a revision ;
What level is this lesson?(A1,A2...)
After this, I'd be afraid to show one of mine!
Theres no engagement with the students. Sure, there's an activity, but the whole objective is for the students to engage and SPEAK english, at the same time while learning facts.

I think I'm gonna have trouble picking which grade levels I want to teach again cx
Entree is not a main meal. It is served before the main meal.
In the United States they call the mains the entree. But in many other places, you're right, the entree is the appetiser.
Very good teaching!

thanks for posting this. i wonder what program she used to make the game slideshow. being able to click on an image and having it disappear.

Do you have to make up your own lesson plan or does the school give you certain topics to teach?

Haha - you can double check it with Oxford dictionary and many other sources: If you read it carefully you'll find that we are both correct: as usual the Americans have changed the meaning from it's root linguistic meaning (entree = enter, or entre = between); so in America you are correct, but in Europe I am correct. Well actually I'm almost correct - it can be the starter if there is only one course before the main course - otherwise it is the course before the main course and can also apply to courses between main courses. Of course (pun intended) this is far more likely in France where it's not uncommon to have 6 courses or sometimes even more.
PS Wikipedia is generally an excellent source of information for precisely that reason - it is cross checked by so many sources and is generally comprehensive too. As with anything you should always cross check - something neither of us initially did. Living in Europe it's like asking me what breakfast is! I don't have to cross check it... until I discover that the Americans have made breakfast mean lunch ! :)
I personally teach English as in England, not as in Americanized English: However if I am aware of discrepancies like this one I would always be diligent to inform my students of the contradictory meanings. So thank you for bringing this one to my attention.
Justin Marcus is correct. Wikipedia is an excellent source. It has citations from the primary literature and is peer-reviewed. Even in highly esoteric areas like organic and biochemistry, the content is excellent. I read it all the time for the natural science content. I have a made a few corrections, but they have been truly nuances. I have never found any huge errors.
this is really good! learned great tips!
Powerpoint is really good...I would use more audio-visual e.g. relevant short clips from youtube with a reward of a short but funny clip at the end of the lesson or a well known English language song e.g. whiter shade of pale etc...speaking like a native involves having a grasp of popular culture to an extent as well.
SuperUFB Thank you! Great point; however, due to time limits I had to be selective with activities. My aim was to allow the students to talk as much as possible.
That was so Fetch. hahaha. That was amazing. She made me want to participate.
thIS lesson seems be rehearsed many times. Students' responses are extremely the same. There was nothing unexpected. The lesson seems so smooth.....Actually, I feel like it is not the real case
everybody help me
who do you known down load game cookiemanster in her present?
share share share
thanks a lot
Very good teacher who enjoys what she is doing? However, she does say "okay" quite a bit.
Is this a public school or a private school? Is it common in Korea to have such English classes? Thanks?:)
such good boys and girls
It is not learner-centred. The warm up is so passive. No differentiated instructions, I don't know what award you are talking about?!!!
"Then NOT forget (about) dessert" she said, instead of saying: "And don't forget about dessert". I have a question, is it OK for a non-native English-speaking person to teach the language. Well, as I can see, the answer is... yes, obviously yes, at least in Korea, heh-heh!
Alex Kim It is okay all over the world! Don't discriminate, please.
Great job!
not good !!! this is a revision the teacher here does not build the lesson
Anything for a cupcake!
This is great !
ALOT of Teacher Talking but very good Lesson.
8000 dollars for a meal? damm! they're balling in China!
+Royal ...thank you, for his clearifacaition.Yes, mine as well.
Good activities great teacher!....i think it could have been more dynamic for example leaving all the other kids to sit and watch instead of having them do something take notes, or maybe have 2 or 3 groups do the activity at the same time while other groups list and report what was said how much was spent and ordered...I always encourage more groups doing the activity while I take notes for feedback and anonymous corrections..then listen to the other groups give the report and see if they missed something...it takes more effort and skill but not impossible...plus it creates a real life situation and not a sterile class room set up that they will never encounter....i'm just saying :)
Rick Adan great point!
she teaches highschool?
You can demo a good idea in less than sixty seconds, no need to record an entire class. Imagine if every teaching tip or technique required 30 minutes. Gotta get to the point.
I disagree. If you are wanting to become a teacher, it's helpful to be able to watch an entire class because it gives you a sense of what it's actually going to be. Not just the highlights, but the whole thing.
04:57 and 22:20
There are a lot of flaws with her pronunciation. I don't buy her teaching method as well.
She is a native speaker. What did you specifically not like about her pronunciation? You have imperfections in your diction as well. Your sentence should be, "There are lots of flaws in her pronunciation." Remember the subject of a sentence never lies in a prepositional phrase. So, your subject and verb agreement (grammatical number) is off. Perhaps, you can post a method you think is better.
You pronounce words differently depending on where you come from it's like saying british people's pronunciation is wrong, just because you're American
her accent sounds a non-native speaker...i think she's indian.
She's Indian from South Africa. She's probably African mix too, but I don't know.
***** I agree, but no one said it made her less of a teacher, tho. :/
Indians and South Africans both attend school in English and are, for all intents and purposes, native speakers of English.
joanjoanjoanjoanbd I'm a native English speaker. I'm Indian South African...The South Africans have very diverse accents.
most boring class ever
+Martin van Kampen
...most boring class ever!EVER,. You gotz to be B-s+ing....You obviously have not taken Economics, and are so young. Good luck, keep the faith...and do you home work!.
even the dang walls are beige!
Problem is.. they're just repeating what they're told. No explanation to most phrases. No role play in front of class, everyone sitting down crowded. Create a big circle and act it out.. have the scenario so people understand.. have the teacher get involved in the scene and say it while acting it out... lol
Haha Cabbage
