TED- I listen to color
Listening to color sounds fantastic but it is a little bit sad not to feel and enjoy colors through my eyes.

A Simple Survey for feedback from my students
3 weeks have passed since the first semester started, but I'm still busy in preparing for classes and making some documents for my tasks in my department.
Anyway, I finished Lesson 1, trying to change the ways of teaching, wanted to know students' opinion, and did small, simple survey above.
The outstanding reactions were...
- the speed of reading and interpreting textbook was too fast.
- at first, couldn't adapt herself to the class in English but now like it.
- want more games and more cultural activities
- more academic reading materials
Even though it is difficult for me as a teacher to make my students 100% satisfied, I want to be a teacher who keeps trying for new things.
+ self- feedback about Celebrity Heads
My students and I played 'celebrity heads' but the numbers of the students were about 31. It was very difficult to manage students and help all of them to participate in the activity.
One more thing, students were using only the verb 'be' to ask questions. It needs for me to teach some possible asking formats, using various verbs.

Take a bow
The song one of my students want to learn and sing together.

Dictogloss images from my students
They did a better job than what I had expected.
The students who were accustomed to listening lecture styles- just listening grammar explanation and writing down important points on their textbooks sometimes feel stressful on doing something new. But I believe creating something new by themselves can improve their real English skill even it is not suitable for the current entrance exam.

Frozen OST
The songs my daughters and my students love the most these days.
I believe Pop Songs have a power to help people to get interested in English and learn English words unconsciously. Even my daughters learned the phrases- let it go, build a snowman something like that.
