Learning Journal 5: Post (a) an evaluation of your First Artifact conversation, and (b) an assessment of how well you met your learning goals for weeks 4 and 5.
Artifacts are evaluated for accent, cultural appropriateness, and linguistic accuracy.
My first artifact was a recording of my mom and I speaking briefly in Korean. I would evaluate the recording as moderately good. I said hello to my mom, and she asked me politely what my name was in Korean. I responded back with the polite term, but I realize now that I was supposed to reply in a nonformal matter. I told her it was nice to meet her, and she said it back to me. I then said that I would talk to her later. However, the phone call connection was poor, so we were not able to communicate well at the end. I told her goodbye and that we should talk again later. I think that, overall, it was a good start. However, I would like to further improve.
- I have met all of my learning goals for weeks 4 and 5. I have been watching one video from SCOLA once a week. Then I have also been journaling about it in my Korean notebook. I have also been listening to one song throughout the week, trying to understand what it means. Then I write about what the song is about in my Korean notebook. I also have ordered my book online, and it is currently in the mail. I do not think I am at the level of reading chapter books, so I chose a children’s book that was translated into Korean. Instead of choosing one book a month, I think that I will just focus on this book the entire semester due to Korean books being difficult to find and also due to my skill level in Korean. Lastly, I have been skyping my parents twice a week. I have been practicing talking about my day without reverting back to English.
