[AEF] School Walk: Embedding Asia perspectives across the curriculum

Master classes/School visits - Homebush Boys High School

by Kyung-ae Yu

Observed a well-designed ICT enhanced language lessson at Homebush Boys High School. The teacher, ms Kyung-ae Yu is an iPad guru - she has plenty of lesson ideas and skills with iPad, and presented them in Korean workshops and PL days. The class we walked in was a Year 10 Korean background/heritage class - of course, at mixed levels and abilities. The lesson was about Korean public holidays and the story behind them: viewing an interesting but still very short 'student-made' video clip (students created the video clips as their group project prior to the lesson), and then doing the jeopardy game with iPad (Whiteboard app for students). Boys seriously engaged in this game-typed Korean cultrue lesson through Korean instructions. It was interesting to observe the class and think about how to get our boys to learn languages..., for now, put this thought for another time.
