Language Usage Checklist for Exhibition


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.


Weekly self-assessment for language usage (Put an X next to your answer.)
This week I was able to use English and Korean/Chinese as per the class expectations.
  • Yes
  • Mostly O
  • Not always
The part that was most difficult for me to do was:
  • Class discussion
  • Teams in English O
  • Pairs in English
  • Solo in English
  • Switch back after using Korean/Chinese
Strategies I used this week:
  • I used Korean/Chinese when I:
    • Asked a question
    • Expressed an idea
    • Clarified a word
    • Clarified a phrase
    • Elaborated my ideas
    • Took notes
    • Worked in a team O(Depends on who I work with I change)
    • Worked in a pair O(Depends on who I work with I change)
    • Worked alone
    • Joked around O
    • Had social conversation
  • I used English when I:
    • Asked a question
    • Expressed an idea
    • Clarified a word
    • Clarified a phrase
    • Elaborated my ideas
    • Took notes O
    • Worked in a team
    • Worked in a pair
    • Worked alone O(Depends on who I work with I change)
    • Joked around O (Depends on who I work with I change)
    • Worked alone
    • Had social conversation O

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.

  1. 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!
