OX Konglish Quiz

The Konglish quiz sounds like a great idea. I can't wait to try it!

The game is decent.  Thanks.


I just had to make a few corrections.

One of them is that some people do refer to actors/actresses as "talent" outside of Korea.

This is a game-based lesson that I've been using for a couple of years now to teach Konglish. It has worked really well with both high school and middle school students. To do this game, you need an open area for the students to stand and move around in. The classroom is divided into O, or true, and X, or false. Show the students one of the slides, which will have a picture and a statement on it, and they will move to the X or O side depending on whether they think it's Konglish or real English. The students who are on the wrong side get eliminated. However, these student can get back into the game if they answer certain questions at the end of each slide. The game ends when there are three of fewer students left, at which point you can declare them the winners and start a new round. It might sound a little complicated, but it'll be clearer when you read my comments in the PPT file. Also, the students shouldn't have any problem with it because they've all played this kind of game before. Just be sure to say "OX Quiz" and they'll understand.

The PPT file contains a short introduction to Konglish, the rules of the game, and the game itself. This should take up most, if not all, of the lesson. Try to finish it five minutes early so that you can give them the worksheet to review what they've learned.

I hope you guys like it!

This is very interesting and active activity for students.
Thanks. I should use this method myself.

Thanks for this!  You have a lot of good examples on here.  I do tend to take change my wording though when talking about Konglish.  I favor the use of "different" as opposed to "wrong". 

I certainly do enjoy the surprised faces on students when they learn the difference in meaning between how a word is used here and used in another country.  "Panty" is always a good one.  When the students get an image of a man wearing panties (our understanding of the word "panties / panty") they always have a good laugh.
