Language Usage Checklist for Exhibition
What will discussion sound like in Grade 5?
- We will use English in our groups UNLESS we need to translate the meaning of a word or phrase that needs clarification or elaboration.
- Then we will remember to switch back to English once we have clarified or elaborated our ideas.
- In partners, we will use English.
- When we are thinking solo we can use either English or Korean/Chinese.
- In teams, we will use English for all conversation unless we are clarifying the meaning of something.

This week I am most proud of: I was proud that I took a notes with English and if I had social conversation, I spoke English.
Next week my goal is: My goal is to speak more English and less Korean in class than this week because it I don't do that, I can't be the good bilingualism.
Ellis, I agree with your goal for next week. You are at a level of bilingualism that you do not need as much Korean to understand English. The more you use English the stronger it will become. But, remember, your Korean is a valuable tool! Use Korean to help you understand difficult concepts, then switch back to English to continue to conversation. Doing this will strengthen both of your languages!
