This is the book my school will be using this coming semester. Does anybody else use this text?

Yeah, we just got this. We were previously using the J.L. Haas book, which was terrible. I'm not sure what I think yet. The chapters are disturbingly light on content. There's two grammar points in the first chapter. Who knows? It may end up being a good thing.

I just got this book. It's new for this semester. It's the same kind of setup as the last book we used (Thomas Orr) with 2 dialogs/grammar points per chapter. However, my school chose not to get the cd rom or the workbook, so I'm not really sure what their expectations are for the listening/speaking class.

The topics at least seem to be more relevant than the Thomas Orr books. Like talking about "what's your favorite...?" lends itself to fuller lessons than other things, but there are still those awkward topics such as Chapter 2's "Let me think." If anyone can think of a fun or interesting way to teach "let me think," "hold on a minute," or those types of expressions, please post it!

Yes, I also hav this book too. We've been using Thomas Orr for the past two years, and just now switched. I'm not sure what expectations my co-teachers will have for me with the book. I'm assuming I will be in charge of the 'Listen and Talk' portion.

Our school also didn't get the listening CDs. But if you can read the Korean instructions (I know most people can't, so don't worry!), you can easily create your own dialogue by inferring what the original was probably saying for the "Listen and Talk". I plan to look at the answers in the back and write my own simple listening exercises to go along with my lessons. [EDIT: as the next poster also said, the scripts are in the back! I just found them today. Huzzah! I'm just gonna read them myself].

I used to use the Thomas Orr grade 1 book, which required me to basically create all of my own material. thankfully I borrowed a bunch from waygook for editing. This semester this textbook has some short activities already in it--I'm going to rely heavily on the textbook for the first month and see how it goes. If I create any outside materials I'll post them here!

Just for everyone to know, the scripts to the listening section for this book start on page 202 of the Appendix. I can't read the Korean instructions to the listen and talk so those activities will skipped until a CD arrives.

I'll try to incorporate listening another way. Maybe I'll speak the dialouge myself with the Korean co-teacher.

I have this book as well... its my first time using a textbook because last year i was in charge of formulating my own curriculum for conversation class so im quite anxious

We got a few CD-ROMS from the publishers but some of the multimedia didnt work after installation so my teachers said we could access the audio and video through the website www.vivasam.com. You do however need a login to access the content but its all there, (downloadable apparently) or to be played through the website.

My new co teacher has been on the phone with the 'book people' every time she runs into a hiccup so maybe your co teachers can do the same to get a username and password

Here is a simple power point for lesson 1.

My plan is for the Korean teacher and I to read the script listed in the back 2 times for the students. First have them listen, then have them follow along in their book. We will discuss the answer after.

I was thinking about typing up the script in the power point so that students can see it on a large scale until we get the CD.

I'd like to have a worksheet or game with the lesson next week, but haven't gotten that far yet.

are we expected to do the whole page as one lesson? i was under the impression that part A and B are to be taught separately. At least, that's what I'll probably do

I think it really just depends on how you prefer teaching your lessons.

Just thought I'd drop this here, too: if the CD is loaded onto your computer, click on the questions and they translate into English. In fact, click on just about anything in Korean and it translates in English.

Roslyn · « **Reply #12 on:** March 08, 2013, 04:41:03 PM »

I also have this book. Will see if I can find any good games cutieturtle07. I love your effort! I am new with this and am a bit nervous. I REALLY appreciate it that you posted it here. Going to use it as a refference. :-) Thanks again!!!

cutieturtle07 · « **Reply #13 on:** March 10, 2013, 09:11:07 AM »

No problem Roslyn! By the way guys, how did you get the CD loaded onto the computer? Is it the two CD's? The first one Pre-install and then the second one is the actual software? I've tried it two times, but it doesn't seem to be downloading the software, just random programs like QuickTime and adobe.

Do I have the right CD?
How did you guys install it?

A simple version I made. It went pretty quick.

James Hatchard · « **Reply #15 on:** March 11, 2013, 06:24:09 PM »

This lesson has students interview each other (with a focus on 'What's your favorite...?) and is based on the functions "How are you doing?" and " What's your favorite .....?" It's mid range in difficulty level at best as I don't want to lose them in the first real lesson of the year. The ppt. goes through the interview questions with example answers. The worksheet has them fill in the answers given to them during the interview process and they use this information to make a profile of the person interviewed which they can present to the class for points. I finish with a "What's your favorite ...?" Mario game where the students are given a picture and must complete the sentence. Not difficult so make sure the whole class repeats the sentence before you reveal the points / bombs etc. You should remove the picture of me in the ppt, and this is not all my own work, the interview sheet I got from someone else on here, and the Mario game is from here but heavily modified with my own examples.

nwgurl · « **Reply #16 on:** March 12, 2013, 12:00:04 PM »

Here is a lesson that I modified from a previous textbook to make it work for this chapter. It's using the dialog, "How are you doing, Paul?" and it gives the students some vocab and then practice time in the end.

Kirsten.s · « **Reply #17 on:** March 12, 2013, 12:19:41 PM »

here my contribution - it includes some reworked slides borrowed from another users ppt, some 'how are you + response' dialogue between anime characters and a 'my favourite things section'. basically used to introduce the content before doing the listening activities

This mario game is awesome!! I'm going to use both the Mario game and the other powerpoint today as well, thanks so much for posting this!! You're a lifesaver!!

ChristinaDunigan · « **Reply #19 on:** March 19, 2013, 04:18:02 PM »

I used the Mario Bomb Game template to do a "What's your favorite..." Game. The only problem I have is that if you get the monsters or turtles, it resets the choice page. I did a workaround by just listing the numbers/letters and holding up the page for the students to choose from.

I also had done feelings PPT for another class. I haven't converted it into a proper game yet but I'll be doing that soon.
