Minutes of the meeting on 6/15 

   We had 9 English Talkaholics on 6/15, Me, Alyssa, Andy, Seokjun, Hyoju, Law, Kevin,   Simon and a new comer  Yeongdan~ (Welcome!! :))

   We had a lot of fun disccusing and debating as well, especially the debate over the issure of punishing students who uploaded racy photos on Myspace to share with a group of their friends. One believed sns media like facebook and Myspace is no longer private so they have to be responsible for the inappropriate behavior which chould affect the other students negatively. But the other side thought their purpose was only to share with friends not to spread whole school and given the characterisctic of teenagers, it is not really efficeint way of teaching, so teacher has to choose different way of educating like discussing on the issue all together in a classroom so they can learn that kind of behavior is not the right thing to do.

   We had lunch all together as usual except Law who had to leave early, and grabbed a coffee afterwards.

   Our big welcome again to Yeongdan and Have fun with Kevin this coming Saturday! :)  

 Itinerary (Every Saturday morning 11:00~14:00)

11:00 ~ 11:40  Introduction / catching up each other and grouping

                      Each group will consist of no more than 4 talkaholics for the second class.    

2. SECOND CLASS - speaking chance in a small group

11:40 ~ 12:20   Each English Talkaholic will be given the chance to present their topic

                            and we will have a discussion in a group.

You could simply throw a question, for example 'when is your happiest moment in your life?'.

It could be your personal issue, could be news that you found interesting in the last week.

12:30 ~ 12:40  Time for a break!

3. THRID CLASS - Bloody debate!!  

12:40 ~ 13:00  Time for Vocabulary check relating to the debate topic

13:20 ~ 13:50  Let the fun begin - time for a bloody debate between the subgroups!!

13:50 ~ 14:00  Final comments by each member

Preparing yourself for debate beforehand will display you as a good speaker and debater. :)

  ONLY 2 RULES YOU HAVE TO ADHERE TO in the study

SPEAKING ONLY ENGLISH

Why we're deflying the strong desire to sleep in

and struggling to come and study

is

to improve our English, isn't it?

Then I want you to have as many chances as possible to practice English!!   

BE PUNCTUAL

Due to the nature of the study, Punctuality matters.

The late arrival means you're intrupting others 

which will lead us to using our precious time inefficiently. 

Please, be on time. :)
