GIC Talk Review

GIC TALK TITLE: Bringing Learning and Fun Together
Tony is British and his father was a British soldier, so he can knew about South Korea since he was a child, and that was how he came to Korea to teach English at 1977. When he taught younger people, they gave him energy so he could teach them more of what he had prepared. But when he taught in similar ways to the older generations, they seemed burned out because of their lives. The older students only looked at their desks or books. And these days, 70 percent of middle or high school students think that English is useless, as they are taught less in conversation and more in grammar or spelling.
So Tony wanted students to have more fun while studying English. His GIC Talk of “Bringing Learning and Fun Together” was visible, as he studied how and discovered great methods for creating interactive games.game. Inspired by Bingo, Memory, and Scrabble, Tony thus created his own versions of games, such as Alphabetony, Numberotony, and What's-itony. These games help people have fun while studying English, even the GIC Talk Audience Members. While playing these games, people should talk with each other and there is a sense of healthy competition.
