I was wondering if any of you guys use Korean in the classroom, and what you say if you do use it. It may be useful for us PS teachers!

Some phrases I use (apologies for poor spelling in advance!):

따라해 Repeat after me

야! Hey!

야! 바보야?! Hey! Are you a fool? (it's actually more lighthearted than that)

왜그래? What's wrong?

뭐해요? What are you doing?

기억해요 Remember

했어요? Did we do this?

이거점봐! Look here! (good for getting their attention)

왜요? Why?

앉하! Sit down!

말썽꾸러기! Troublemaker!

야, 인사자. Greetings (signals class leader to call class to attention)

수업끗! Class is over!

Anything else that might come in handy?

Parts of speech come in handy - myeongsa, dongsa, busa, etc., becuase most of them don't know what they mean in English.

I don�t really see the point in saying simple things to the kids in Korean, especially things like `sit down`. Surely you can teach them what that means in English. I think that things you say frequently in class are some of the things that even the slower kids will learn since you repeat them so often.

Yes, you would think...but you forget, we don't see these kids every day (or even, every week!)!

And the truth is, nothing grabs their attention like speaking to them in their own language--especially with high school kids who tend to tune everything out anyway!
