Author Topic: School Broadcasts (Read 22232 times)

For the past two semesters, my co-teacher and I have been doing biweekly morning television broadcasts at our elementary school under the surreal header "Andrew Harris English Miracle Broadcast Time".

They usually last about 10 minutes, feature myself and a student-announcer, and involve a ppt, video, or storybook along with some opening remarks. They've gone over pretty well, although some teachers consider them a distraction in the morning and turn them off.

Even if you don't do broadcasts at your school, you could re-purpose these as part of your classroom lessons.

So in the interest of giving back this holiday season, I'm posting all the broadcasts we made that didn't involve showing and reading a storybook to the camera (I love you all, but I don't have time to scan five giant-size storybooks). By the time I finish uploading, there will be about ten.

Use the Hancom Office Viewer (http://www.hancom.co.kr/hancom/eng/product/product01_01.jsp) if you don't have Hangeul on your computer.

IN AMERICA

Broadcast in which I contrast curious aspects of Korea and America-- superficial things that are so fascinating when you first visit a country, like the shape of the electric outlets, the kinds of food, whether or not people take off their shoes inside...

-ridiculous/ironic "IN AMERICA" video that students loved

C is for Cookie

Sears into the brains of Korean youth that very anthem of Anarchy Gastronomic.

I mean seriously this was like the V for Vendetta of children's daytime television

English Titles Broadcast

A broadcast overviewing the many titles by which we address each other, including Mr., Mrs., Captain, Queen, General. I thought Koreans might be able to relate to this, seeing how rich in honorifics their language and culture is.

On an unrelated note, "Andrew Harris English Miracle Broadcast Time" is probably the greatest name for anything that has ever existed. It should be the name of your solo album, and also you should get it put on a T-shirt.

Thank you. I worked very hard on that name.

Although no solo album is in the works, I will keep your T-shirt idea.

My school just informed me that they want me to do a 10 minute English segment on the school's TV system every Monday. This has potential to be good or just really boring and stressful. I have a couple of ideas but I'm currently stumped. Is anyone out there already doing something like this or have ideas for fun and easy clips? The show can have anyone I want in it (students, teachers, etc.). Your help would be greatly appreciated.

My evil side is saying 'draft some of the non-English teachers to show them speaking English'.

More realistically, maybe a story. Have student readers. Idioms, along with photos to explain them. Student 'volunteers' to sing short English songs. Role plays.

I just did my first English Broadcasting Time segment today and read a story I found else where on the site. If you search for Cloud Bread, you should be able to get both parts and scripts in Korean and English. To fill up the 10 minutes, I read Part 1 just in English, then I reread it and my co-teacher translated it into Korean.

This'll take you to a bunch of books scanned on PPT's you might be able to use, but no scripts: http://waygook.org/index.php/topic,1281.0.html

You could always do an interview segment in each show. Find a student with an interesting job/hobby/travel experience, interview your co-teacher, or have the kids come up with questions to ask you.

I thought about this too :D. I think it would be good for the students to see their teachers learning things too.
