Today
I complied 4 YouTube videos for Soojin to watch. The videos are all from
popular channels that cover social and cultural topics and get millions of views.
The objective for this lesson is to show Soojin videos that should be interesting
enough to encourage in-depth discussions to practice conversational English. The
first video I showed Soojin was Jubilee’s famous ‘Odd Man Out’ series where 7
contestants all claim to be U.S. citizen, but one is a liar and they have to
figure out who that is in order to win a cash prize. Soojin seemed really intrigued
with the game. We had a good conversation about diversity. We talked about how
the contestants all looked to be from different racial and ethnic backgrounds,
reinforcing the fact that the United States is very diverse, and you can’t really
tell who a citizen is just by looking at them. The next video was from Cut and
it had people guess what language someone was speaking while blindfolded. We
also had a good discussion and this video was fun to watch. This pattern continued
for the other two videos. Whenever there was a word or phrase Soojin didn’t understand,
for example, coming-of-age and vice, I paused the video to explained and gave
examples.
