It was 9 am. Students had English written test in 10 minutes
and they are very focused memorising how to write in English to introduce
themselves.
We observed 2 classes today.
First is History lesson. The content of the lesson is very interesting. The
topic was about French Revolution. The lesson was taught in Korean of course,
but I recognised the year as the teacher mentioned “Marie Antoinette” and
“Napoleon”. The teacher used pictures and informs the students thoroughly on
French History. Most students paid attention,responded and understood the
lesson. I am amazed with the History
syllabus as students’ as young as 15 years old (Korean age) are learning about
Europe. When I asked the teachers, they said that history is taught based on
years. So, for example in the year 1880, the syllabus explains about what
happen in Korea, Europe, Asia during that year.
Then, we observed Music class. The teacher introduced
students to various types of instruments using Youtube. The teacher chose
interesting performance, such as performance by deaf musicians and autisme.
Besides, the teacher also showed celesta, which is rarely known. Then, the
students filled in a handout given on descriptions of instruments and which one
they like. This has proven that types of videos that we show to students played
a big part. They showed videos that teaches students to have big dreams.
Moreover, the way they handled the lesson is by showing videos or experiment
that could explain a lot, in other other words, short demonstaration but means
a lot to the students.
