...well sort-of.

I teach TOEFL prep classes, and now were focusing on the new IBT speaking tests. These tests require students to speak for a given amount of time with a specified amount of time to prepare (read as, little).

My director and I came up with the plan to get some sort of highly-visible, digital clock which counts down the time for students. This is similar to what the computer would display during the test.

Unfortunately, I have thus far been unable to locate one of these. The clock? section of Yongsam got me a lot of 'ahpsayeos' and I haven't had much luck with department stores either. Any ideas?





Please don't flame for this being on the job board..

I use a good ole egg timer.

Alternatively, use a stop watch or hour glass. Or, as my (bright) brain sparks - there is perhaps a technique of finding a digital clock in the style you are suggesting on a website. You can display the computer screen in front of the class, or if you have more sophisticated equipment, use a projector to project computer screen image on the wall. Sounds good?

All are available in large grocery stores. - the former ideas, I mean!

Hotpants ideas are good. Here's an online one that might do the trick:

Shot Clocks- if anywhere, I'm guessing you could find them around the sports stores next to Tongdaemoon stadium.

I just recalled some fancy clocks I spotted on line - maybe not quite what you;re looking for, but look good all the same:
