Something I learned in Korean is how to introduce myself and how to ask and answer questions about my identity.
To teach someone both these things, I would:
- Make flash cards with the Korean pronunciation of Korean words that relate to ‘introduction’ and to ‘identity’ on one side of the flash cards.
- Then, on the back of the flash cards, I would write the definition of each of those words in English.
- The, make the student learn the Korean pronunciation of these words with its English definition
- Finally, I would mix up the cards and have the student try to form comprehensible sentences in Korean by using as many flash cards as possible.
I think this would be an effective way of learning the Korean language because it does not make students memorize sentences. This activity will allow students to understand better what each word means, so they can be able to form sentences on their own with other words instead of having to rely on memorization.
For example:
On the front of the flash card, I will write “jeonun”
On the back of the flash card, I will write “I am”
On the front of the flash card, I will write “miguk”
On the back of the flash card, I will write “American”
*****I would do this for many different words that pertain to “introduction and identity” and the student will be able to make sentences after learning the words and their English meaning.
