초등학교 교실 영어

Every teacher and classroom has a plastic coated sheet of classroom English, plus 2 or 3 small books, with many of the same phrases, which they can carry around and study, like pocket books. This school produced one of the small books. The Korean equivalent is written beside the English. So, I have had many hours studying the Korean as it s sometimes necessary to communicate in Korean in the classroom. Very few teachers can use English and classroom English for an entire class. I have heard from teachers in Elementary school English training, that they are developing more confidence in using classroom English. This may also be explained because they are also learning what and how to teach. Just by repeating the classroom English over and over is OK, but I often feel this is kind of superfluous. It has helped me be more self-conscious about the English I use in the classroom. Every word counts it seems. I often read the little classroom English books to help improve my Korean comprehension, but also to check and see if there are other, or better, expressions I can use in my class. Sometimes these expressions will become too habitual like “good morning everybody”. When grade one students were saying “good morning everybody” to me when I met them outside of class, I knew I had to be more careful, somehow, in how I put words in “context”.
