Our topic is K-pop (Korean pop culture). I find this video from YouTube, and the purpose that I would like to share this video with learners is related to the teaching question, which is associated with the public view about K-pop.
In what way are they likely to respond to the video on their own, e.g., make notes, do an activity, think about the topic (learner-generated)?
Before sharing the video, instructors would raise a question, and students are asked to find their answers from the video. The question would be how Londoners view K-pop, and what different views do they have? Learners are encouraged to write down the keywords about their impression that the video left them.
What activity could you suggest that they do, after they have watched the video (designed)? What type of knowledge or skill would that activity help develop? What medium or technology would students use to do the activity?
After watching the video, there would be a small brainstorming activity, which is the learner-learner interaction. Learners are encouraged to write down the keywords about their impression that the interview left them to answer the question.
Then, learners can share their words with their group members (the groups have been divided already). The group discussion is meant to be a process of learner-learner interaction. The instructor would draw a tree as an example on the blackboard. Each group would generate a word list and then share with the class how their trees would be like (each word is a leaf on the branch of the tree). They can also share the reason why they came up with the answers. Through this activity, learners can better understand the class topic from the perspective of public views.
How would students get feedback on the activity that you set? What medium or technology would they and/or you use for getting and giving feedback on their activity?
Students can get feedback right after they share their answers in class. It would be provided as verbal comments by instructors, which would be an interaction between instructors and learners as well.
How much work for you would that activity cause? Would the work be both manageable and worthwhile? Could the activity be scaled for larger numbers of students?
The biggest cost for this activity would be the time that spends on sharing answers. However, since the response would be made as a group unit, and the instructor would give the feedback immediately, it would not cost too much time for class with a scale less than 40. It would not be suitable for the class with students more than 40 because discussion and sharing could be a significant part of the class.
What is more, this kind of interaction in class can help students refresh their understanding of course materials by knowing others’ thoughts. Therefore, this activity should be manageable and worthwhile for small and medium-sized classes.
