Elementary First Day Self Introduction and Class Rules
« on: March 01, 2014, 03:52:18 PM »
I know i'm a little late for first day stuff, but I'll be flying back to Korea in a couple days and starting a hagwon soon, so it'll be the first day for me.

So, getting to the barebones, some info about the lesson.
  • Was made for a solo ESL teacher (if no co-teacher is there to help)
  • Very basic sentences and three sections: self-intro/review/rules
  • Should fill a 45~50min class

So, if you have a co-teacher, work with them to do something a little more festive than the picture filler I got in the slides for the "Whats your name" bit. The rules I use are for my classroom, but feel free to chop that section or change it. And if you change it, post up what you did in its place, i'm always curious what other teachers do.

Hope this helps someone on their first day! More to come from me as I make them!

I like your rules, and how bright and colorful the presentation is! Your Korean on some slides is a bit strange though, so I would like to suggest some changes, if that's okay.

On the slides when you're writing "This is my mother/ father/etc," the "이" is unnecessary. Also, if you're using the formal endings 습니다, 습니까, etc, you should also use the more formal 저 instead of 나 (so, 제 어머니 instead of 나의 어머니). Also, DEFINITELY drop the 것 because what you wrote reads as "This thing is my mother!"

So: 제 어머니입니다.
제 아버지입니다.
제 (여)동생입니다. (The "여" is optional; it will be obvious that she's a girl, so...)
제 형입니다. (Please use "형" and not "오빠" because "오빠" is a term for females to use!)
제 고양이입니다.

I just briefly skimmed the rest, so I might be missing other errors, but "주세요" directly translates to "Please give it to me" and not just "Please" (I'm not sure if there is a single word for "please;" at least, I've never used it myself).

Again, replace your 나s with 저s if you want to use the formal sentence endings.

If you know a native speaker or someone with very strong Korean, perhaps have them check it over! Some other sentences seemed off to me, but I wasn't confident with my corrections, so I didn't bother to write them here.

Thank you for the feedback! I mainly used google translate for the bulk of the Korean. The rules were translated by my co-teacher my second year, so I hope those are accurate. Everything else though, yea. So much thanks :D!

There is no exact please word.  Merely the usage of 으세요 as part of a request usually covers it.  Jondenmal supersedes a need to have a vocabulary word for please.

I believe that's correct anyway.

This is pretty awkward

당신은 애완 동물이 있나요?

To ask a 3rd grader...당신 is soooo polite. 

복습하다 would be better to use for review.  Your usage refers more for re-examining things, the kids might not even know the word themselves in Korean.

복습합시다! Is what I'd probably write.  Additionally, you swap between friendly language 의 올해 재미를 보자! and total 'talking to the principal' polite form, presumably that you got from the translator mentioned.

In this case I guess I'd probably write 복습하자! then because you've already gone as farm as to include banmal.

I really like the presentation though, colourful and engaging.

For 'Do you have any pets?' I'd probably write...

애완동물 기르시는 거 있으세요? (to keep it with the current polite form).

It roughly translates to do you have any animals which you love and have raised?

Slightly off topic, but are you sure 당신 is polite? I once used it in a text message to my girlfriend's mother, and my girlfriend called me a few a few minutes later and told me that 당신 is only used to small children or someone far below you.

당신 is used as a placeholder for more specific names and titles.  You wouldn't use the much more informal 너 with -요, so 당신 is okay, but completely unnecessary in the question being asked.  당신 is very rude to say directly to someone, because, in general, if you aren't close enough to use 너 to them, then you shouldn't be saying things like "Hey, you." If you want to start a fight, 당신 can get the job done.

It's also used between old married couples who use 존댓말.

The information comes from my girlfriend and a couple other various source (TalktomeinKorean, etc.)  I may be wrong, but this is my understanding of it.  Long story short: Avoid 당신 wherever possible.  Drop it whenever you can, or if you need it, use the person's name.  It's only really used in textbook example sentences and between married couples.

Nice work! Are private elementary classes typically 50 mins?

I am just starting public elementary (40mins), and this is what I came up with...

Fantastic slide show :) :) I was wondering what kind of activities would you throw in to get your co-teacher more involved?

Just used a modified version of your powerpoint for my first ever classes, it went down a storm. Thank you so much for uploading it. 

I used the three corners game with A,B & C written on the walls to get them to guess who the pictures were of. Burned off some energy and got some them laughing while using the target language.

Thanks again
