Korean Students Speak
Everyone, even if you only have a few minutes please check out this new project from a group of Fulbright English Teaching Assistants here in South Korea.
These are all real students from all over the country, given a piece of paper on which to write whatever they are feeling about school and life. There are a range of messages, from lighthearted to amazingly powerful.
Please check out the site and get the word out about this exciting new project!
I think this is exponentially great and I wish my students were at a high enough level to participate but they would probably write things like ‘My favorite Pokemon is Pikachu!’ Which is fine because feels about Pokemon are legitimate.
My only suggestion is to change the blog’s theme. It is difficult to read the student’s messages at such a small image size and the click-through leads you off the site. So, I vote for a better theme, it’s too great a project to get lost in translation. :)
Let’s send this to Korea’s Board of Education.
