Basic steps:

  • Tell the trainees that they will be part of a Korean lesson for the next 10 minutes. Have them imagine that they have already encountered these words in a previous lesson. So, they have heard and said these words before.
  • Chose one card and read the word on it aloud while showing the card to the trainees.
  • Have the trainees repeat it.
  • Create a sentence (oral) for each word. (The Korean word will go into the English sentence.)
  • Show the trainees the cards in the same order you presented them before.
  • Have the trainees say the words on the cards. When they don't know, supply the response for them and have them repeat.
  • Shuffle the cards and have the trainees read the words again in a different order.
  • Ask the learner to create a sentence (oral) for each word. (Once again, the Korean word will go into the English sentence.*)
  • Continue to shuffle the cards and have the trainees read them until the trainees have a fair degree of accuracy.
  • Tell the trainees that you will put these cards into a "Study" envelope and give them to a trainee to take home and practice. The trainee should practice writing the word underneath the word you have provided on the card. (Tell the other trainees who were not fortunate enough to get the cards that you have just given out and that they can make their own with the handout you are now providing.)
  • Tell trainees that there will be a quiz next session in which the sight words will be inserted! (Quiz not included in the package.)
  • Write out some of the sentences that the trainees made to insert the sight words into. (Use these for the quiz next session.)

* You may want to tell trainees that their experience with sight words is very different than what their learners will experience with this method. Learners may have to face unfamiliar sentence patterns when learning sight words in context.
