Shadow Speaking Practice

<Shawshank Redemption>

 

I really liked this activity because it was good chance to improve my English skill.

 

At first time, I just read all sentences and found meaning of the words.

I repeated many times. In addition, I checked pronunciation key and I tried to mimic the actor.

 

I could practice pronunciation and I could listen my voice through recording.

(how I speak and read English.)

SHELF Project

My group discussed about SHELF Project. We had many ideas and I like to introduce some ideas.

1) Podcasters

- In our class, we had talked about ' The men and women can be friends?' and some of them said Yes, some of them said No. One of student posted a video about this topic. It was interview video from American. What about Korean? I wonder their thinking and opinion. So, we thought we can make this kind of video in our University!(It was one of my group member's idea) I think it will be very interesting and it will be good chance to listen Korean's opinion.

 

2) Study Group

- Dictation from any kind of video will be effective to learn English. I know we already did sometime in our class and I really liked it because I could learn vocabulary that I didn't know before, also I could improve my listening skill. In addition, I could know world news and most of video was very interesting!

Video for language learning

    I really like the message that the video is sending.
