생생영어 (11) -  I like your outfit!  옷 스타일이 멋있어요!



“I like his outfit” 나는 저 사람 옷입는 스타일이 좋더라. 


열한 번째 표현은 outfit 이다. 번역하면, '옷입는 스타일' 정도로 할 수 있다.  어제 수업 중에 영어 표현을 한국어로 어떻게 말하는지 물어보고 답하는 연습을 했는데 한 학생이 outfit 을 한국어로 어떻게 말해요? 하고 질문했다. 그 학생이 말하는 설명을 들어보니, 그 학생 왈 “ outfit means someone’s way of wearing clothes, hair style and etc.” 라고 했다. 고민을 해보니 그럼 “옷차림새, 혹은 옷스타일” 로 번역할수 있겠다고 토론했다. Outfit 단어를 알기도 알고 들어보기도 했지만 실제 일상 생활에서 쓰기나 말하기 할 때는 거의 써 본적이 없는 단어 같다. 하지만 미국 학생들은 아주 많이 쓰고 있었다. 


* Outfit 의 사전적 의미 (출처: 구글, 번역: 저자) 


a set of clothes worn together, typically for a particular occasion or purpose. 

함께 입는 옷의 구성, 특별한상황이나 목적에 맞게 고르는. 옷 입는 스타일.


"a riding outfit"    자전거 탈 때 입는 옷스타일 



캠브리지 사전 예문 


Susan wore a black outfit. 

수잔은 검정색 옷스타일로 입었다. 



An outfit is also a set of equipment for a particular purpose: 

아웃핏은 특정한 목적을 위한 장비 세트도 칭한다. 


She got a complete ski outfit as a gift from her parents.

그녀는 부모님으로부터 스키 장비 풀세트를 선물로 받았다. 




친구나 회사 동료의 옷입는 스타일이 멋지고 마음에 들 때 “I like your outfit” 이라고 칭찬해 주면 어떨까요? :) 


감사합니다!

보이스 쓰레드 작성법 - How to Create VoiceThread

이 포스팅은 보이스 쓰레드(VoiceThread) 사용법에 관한 것입니다. 보이스 쓰레드는 클라우드 테크놀로지 사이트로써 사용자들이 목소리를 편리하게 녹음하고, 편집하고, 공유할 수 있습니다. 언어 교육에 관하여 선생님들은 이 사이트를 통해 보다 효율적이고 효과적인 말하기 평가를 수행할 수 있을 것입니다. 또한 보이스 쓰레드는 말하기 평가의 구성타당도 측면에서, 브라운(2010)이 역설한 다섯 가지 말하기 평가요소 (imitative, intensive, responsive, interactive, and extensive speaking)를 모두 평가하는 데 적합한 애플리케이션이 될 것입니다. 자세한 사용법은 아래에 기술된 절차를 참고하시기 바랍니다. This posting is about how to create a voicethread project at voicethread.com. VoiceThread is a cloud-based technology that helps users to create, edit, and share voices. My suggestion for language educators is that teachers can use this application as an speaking assessment tool. With regard to construct-validity of language assessment (Brown, 2010), the scopes of speaking proficiency that VoiceThread can be used for are imitative, intensive, responsive, interactive, and extensive speaking (Brown). Details will be followed. *Reference Brown, H.D. & Abeywickrama, P. (2010). Language assessment: Princi...

Jazz Chants - Stimulating Musical Intelligence

-
Image
         Jazz Chants, invented by Carolyn Graham, is a pedagogical method using rhythms and beats to effectively teach English. For example, you can put the line "Have a good weekend. Thanks, you too" in four beats (find the moment of 3:12 at the Youtube video linked below). According to Patricia et al. (2010), Jazz Chants expose students to natural intonation patterns, idiomatic expression, and common rituals of everyday life. Also, it can make students engaged in sound of the target language in fun, authentic, and effective ways because it stimulates not only verbal-lingual intelligence but also musical one as well. Wanna know more about the method? Please click the link below. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_nPUuPryCs Jazz Chants

3 Must-Know Sites for Teachers: Edmodo, iCivics, & National Geographic Kids

             This posting introduces three web sites that teachers should know and use in order to carry out effective and efficient learning: Edmodo, iCivics, and National Geographic Kids. (1) Edmodo ( https://www.edmodo.com/ ) Edmodo is a classroom management site that offers teachers ways to create groups in which teachers can invite students, post discussion topics, upload assignments, implement polls, and post alerts. These features can enable teachers and students to form an effective learning community. On top of these in-class managing services, Edmodo has various interests groups in which teachers are encouraged to share ideas, resources, and materials via communicating with other teachers. For example, I am a member of an interest group called "Language Arts," which means all of the messages the group members post are automatically alerted to me. In order to effectively manage classes and share critical ideas, teachers should know and u...
