*How To Teach

1. First, we watch the video 30 minutes and then talking about movie.
2. We have lots of homework.
- Such as Introducing my favorite genre, actor, actress, movie, Comparing characters, Making general & Detail questions, Searching famous movie lines, Mind mapping & brainstorming about characters etc.
3. Teacher (Sam) asks us some general questions every time. We have to analyze movie, character, situation, lines and so on.

*Our Opinion
Chan-Mi Joo: My favorite thing in this class is watching movie. I like Tom Hanks’ pronunciation and intonation. We can learn many things through the movie such as English (film words, famous lines), Western cultures and history etc
Min-Jung Ma: When I want to take a rest, I usually watch the movie. I love movie so much. So, the movie class is impressing. Especially, Sam who is the teacher gives fun to students. He gives student a buzz. If you attend this class, you can learn a lot.
Mi-Seon Choi: Movie class is a chance to understand American culture. I was impressive that American people had difficulty solving many kinds of problem. Also, I had watched this movie, but I can remember only one scene that Forrest run to the place he wants to go. So, I’m glad to watch and study “Forrest Gump.”
