Brainstorming what type of year-long project I wanted to complete was how I started my process. Part of my process was recognizing the current interests and skills I possess was the beginning of a tough process. Not only did I gain an understanding of what people I want surrounding me, but also recognized my interest in foreign languages, especially Korean. While preparing for the minicourse I had to search online for information and inspiration. I looked up, “What makes a good teacher?” and “Example lesson plans for teaching foreign languages.” During Adventuring into Korean freshman students will be introduced to Hangul, the Korean writing system. I began to create a slideshow that included all of the lesson plans for eight weeks. Eight weeks is a lot! Each week, I used two hours to teach students. I always came with a lesson plan that was ready for the students each week. Freshman completed activities using visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning. To create an interactive way of learning a foreign language. Which might seem intimidating to the young students. Together students will be able to successfully match individual Korean letters to their phonetic sound, understand proper syllable format, and recognize frequently used words/phrases.
