When I used to teach and was doing a group project I would get them to type their names into the computer during class. If they did it in pinyin it would take about 5 minutes for 50 students, if they used characters it would take 30 minutes - 1 hour since they have to find the right character, realise that it isn't the correct character and that they can't spell their own name and repeat. I'd try to get them to use pinyin but if you have one kid use hanzi early on in the process everyone else will do it no matter how many times you tell them not to because that guy used characters so it means we should do it like that too.

That's got me wondering...



How popular is internet for aiding ESL education? Are students receptive to it as a selling point?

Worst thing is that slavery/sex slavery is everywhere, including the US. It's pretty much the most low-profile major problem out there, and it is everywhere.


p.s. kill slavers


Edit:



quote:

Researchers estimate that 21 million are enslaved worldwide, generating $150 billion each year in illicit profits for traffickers.
  • Labor Slavery. About 78 percent toil in forced labor slavery in industries where manual labor is needed—such as farming, ranching, logging, mining, fishing, and brick making—and in service industries working as dish washers, janitors, gardeners, and maids.
  • Sex Slavery. About 22 percent are trapped in forced prostitution sex slavery.
  • Child Slavery. About 26 percent of today’s slaves are children.
Slavery today is a hidden crime, making it harder for the public to see and for those in slavery to call out for help.

Is the internet a big motivator for English learning? If you can read, there's Reddit, Facebook, etc. If you can listen, there's podcasts, tv, movies and documentaries.

Frankly, if I were a Korean kid, my only personal motivation would be access to English-language content.
