Ok, I hesitate to put this up here, but I thought you all might really get some use out of it. I, and a friend of mine, have been using different versions of this unit for years now. This is the latest installment, and I was hoping you could test it out for me (yes, there is an off chance that part of it might be published).

Consider it test teaching for materials.

So here's the deal. You get to use this material for free, but in return you write up a little critique after you're done. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Of course there is no way for me to really enforce this, but basically I'm saying - let's help each other out. You get some class material and I get your opinions.

Pg1


Pg2


Please keep a couple of things in mind:
-this is not the final draft so I am still open to changes
-this has a fair bit of work already put into it, so please don't just troll on it
-I am looking for reviews of people who have used it.
-it's hard to read as is, so save and paste into a word doc.
-do not publish this document Wink

So, what do you think?

My appologies to all those whose internet I busted. Embarassed

Maybe this is better?

I'd reduce the size, but I know for printing far too much gets lost in the mix.

Thank you for taking the time to post that.

One suggestion is to build the images together in a pdf document, so the print quality will be maintained and the images will be together in one document.

my suggestion would be to take down the massive image and convert your file to pdf and have a download for testers available.

What software are you using for layout?

Thanks, it looks good.. I may use it tomorrow with a teacher's class and will give you feedback if I do.

Perhaps you should edit your original post and delete the file to prevent others' internet "breaking"?! Wink

photoshop will save as a pdf... look for it under the file menu.

for layout you'll want to try indesign or illustrator for better control. Or and this is a great option for handouts for technotards (which apparently you are not) MSpublisher is excellent.

if you can't find the pdf option send me a pm and I'll pdf it for you.

If you read the disclaimer printed at the top of the first page (brown/grey box), you will see what I mean.

Nice images. I'm gald my computer has a "fit to width" option --- 30% works on the OP.

I contend that Konglish is really just Korean, used for by Koreans for Koreans, though I guess it can be a bit surprising when they find out foreigners do not understand it.

It sounds interesting, but I would heavily challenge the idea that Konglish is a "new language." It is a new element of the Korean language, but it is not a new language in itself.
