Summer Intensive Program

Changnyeong English Village's Summer Intensive Program

This year our summer intensive program was three weeks long. Our program is available for elementary and middle school students in the Changnyeong area. 

On the first day all of the students are interviewed and split into class according to how they scored. Three teachers taught the middle school group and three teachers taught the elementary school group. 

This year our program was very unique because we found that teaching a group of students for three weeks could get boring so instead we decided to do a rotation. Each teacher came up with a topic and made relevant material. Each day for first period the students would go to their homeroom class, then for second through fourth period they went to the other teachers to learn about their topic. We also made sure each week had an activity day. Our activities included: golden bell quiz, talent show, movie with trivia, and a field day. I think the students and the teachers had a great time getting to know each other and having fun learning English together. 

Some pictures of our classes:
In classroom six the students learned how to set up a tent. Then they talked about first aid, shared camping stories, and ate S'mores
In classroom five the students learned about fairy tales and they also practiced and performed a short play based on a Korean Fairy Tale
In classroom four the students learned how to play different American sports.
In classroom three the students had a great time talking about food and restaurants.
In classroom two the students learned about many things including pirates, body parts, and colors.

 In classroom one the student learned and talked about hobbies and jobs.

Pictures of the talent show:
 Limbo, how low can you go?
 The Fairy tale play.
 The Ukulele player won the talent show. She was good.
This boy played 'Let it be' on the recorder and he came in second place.

Golden Bell Quiz:
During the quiz we had some visitors from a TV show come and interview some of our students.

On the last day of summer intensive we had a field day and it ended like this.
