Score: 5 Teacher: Hyeryung Osburn By: steve p April 27, 2012 Lead Acquired: April 27, 2012 Hours of Instructions: 120 |
Excellent Teacher Kate is an educator--not just someone with a textbook who knows Korean and English. She uses good teaching techniques to reinforce each lesson. Kate incorporates a lot of conversation in her lessons, and uses conversation to reinforce grammar, vocabulary on whatever the lesson topic is. She uses a very good textbook series (Sogang). She uses the written and audio portions of the textbook wheN appropriate. Kate strikes a good balance of 1. teaching grammar and vocabulary and 2. engaging in conversation during her lessons. She answers questions directly and succinctly and is very good at keeping up with the sometimes seemingly random order of questions from me. Kate is very knowledgeable of Korean; it is her native language. Kate’s English skills are excellent and she is able to thoroughly explain grammar, definitions and translations in a way that is easy to understand. In addition to the Sogang textbook series, Kate uses other teaching materials where appropriate, and is able and willing to depart from her textbook-based lesson plan. Some examples are: 1. She has used news articles and videos from the Internet, providing translation help and cultural insight. She also helped me practice what I learned from these news articles by making conversations using the vocabulary and grammar that I learned from the articles. 2. She has used teaching material and explained concepts from other textbooks (e.g., Kleartext) that I have been studying. 3. She has provided internet-based and ipod-based instructive materials (e.g., talktomeinkorean.com) for me to use on my own time for studying. She has also explained concepts from these lessons when I needed help. 4. She has offered to provide translation for K-dramas. Kate has been diligent and punctual for our lessons. She is always prepared at the beginning of the lesson time, and rarely needs to reschedule a planned lesson. Kate is friendly and easy going, and genuinely wants to see her students learn Korean. She is an excellent teacher and a pleasure to work with. Add a folllow-up message (steve or Hyeryung Osburn only) |
