Example of a Communicative Lesson for a Mixed-Ability Online English Literature Class
I developed this 5-lesson plan for the Overseas Educational Institution Portal—Remote Class Materials Contest (재외교육기관포털—원격 수업 자료 공모) hosted by Seoul National University and the Korean Ministry of Education. It involves many small steps that are simple enough for students at lower levels (A2+) but that can be extremely expressive and rewarding for advanced students. It takes advantage of technology by utilizing breakout rooms and a variety of applications from Google. In this lesson we’ll be focusing on ekphrastic poetry. *** Part of the Graduate Student Showcase; this presentation, itself, is ~25 minutes long. ***
