I'm going to hang these wall decorations in my classroom on Monday.
I'll let you know how it turns out.

I think they will love it! What a great way to encourage kids to speak English! You might want to think about updating the "what they said" part every couple of days or so...just to keep them talking! |

Tomato....I LOVE your ideas, they really inspire me! BTW, do you have your own classroom? (See my poll on this...) |

You're lucky your students are so communicative....... All mine say is "teacher....... monkey and dirty..."
Incidently, has anybody else experienced the phenomenen of students reverting to grunts and and various other chimpanzee-like noises when they are forced to speak without using any korean? |

Yes, I've had grunts and chimpanzee noises.
Informal charade games too. |
