jefflebowWe'll be starting soon... Stay tuned. Gast 317 Hi to all from an Englishman in North Germany. Sung Hee Lim hello~~~^^ Sung Hee Lim welcome to ELT Live, Gast 317 Gast 317 Thanks! Gast 317 = Dennis (Newson) Osnabrueck, Germany. jefflebowDennis, can you hear the audio? Gast 317 Very clearly. Daniel Cross I'm now following through chat, I'm a bit too distracted to keep up with the cam Daniel Cross Why am i undefined Robert Dickey Rob Dickey is watching... Daniel Cross Why am i undefined Daniel Cross there we go Nina Liakos Hello all from Maryland, USA Daniel Cross Hi nina Nina Liakos That's a lot of preps! jefflebowHello Nina jefflebowand Rob Nina Liakos Tuesday morning for us in Maryland, because of Labor Day. Daniel Cross What apps or tools are you using for the flipping? Nina Liakos Hi Jeff! Gast 317 Hi, Nina. Nina Liakos I always start out with diagnostics, because I have to, and housekeeping tasks like student information sheet, syllabus, and of course some kind of icebreaker. Daniel Craig Daniel Cross, I've used a few different screencast utilities: Present.me has been my favorite so far in terms of quality, features, and ease. Nina Liakos I just read back in the chat and realized Gast is Dennis Newson. Hi Dennis! Daniel Craig Nina, I like diagnostics for my writing and listening classes. As much for me as for them. Nina Liakos @Daniel, yes, plus we need to make sure students have been placed correctly into the right level. Daniel Cross I give them 10 answers about myself and they work in partners to think of the questions Daniel Craig For me, it wouldn't really matter in terms of placement. I have to work with whoever comes to class :-) However, I could advise them to go elsewhere. Nina Liakos I like the idea of providing answers to the questions. Students always struggle with question formation. Daniel Cross ex. Then they interview each other with those questions Nina Liakos :-) Gast 317 My wife always loved grouping people into what position they hada in their families - oldest, younger brother , only child etc. Robert Dickey fatherhood duties call. enjoy folks... Nina Liakos In writing, so they can't claim you never told them. Nina Liakos Give them an inch and they take a mile. True all opver the world, I suspect. jefflebow Doctopus Nina Liakos Are there expectations that American teachers have which Korean teachers do not have, or vice versa? How do you deal with this, as a teacher from the "target culture" in the students' educational culture? Nina Liakos How do you spell that--doctopus? How do you find it? Nina Liakos Actually I use Canvas here at UMD Nina Liakos What kind of picture file did they use? Nina Liakos I have had a lot of problems with adding timed handwritten essays to electronic portfolios. James Buckingham cowchat? Nina Liakos kakaochat? jefflebow Kakao jefflebowhttp://www.kakao.com/services/8 James Buckingham Thanks Jeff Daniel Craig Sorry, yes. Doctopus. Go to a Google Doc and go to Add-ons for find and install it. Nina Liakos Do you train your Korean students to participate orally, or do you adjust your expectations? James Buckingham Have you used Doctopus Dan? What's the chief advantage... Daniel Craig The pictures worked really well. Zero complaints about that. I didn't have a lot of other complaints :-) Nina Liakos Thanks Daniel Craig Document management Nina Liakos I have heard that Korean (Asian, actually) students do not want to make a mistake publically Nina Liakos whereas here we tend to think of mistakes as how you learn Nina Liakos Some of my students are reluctant to open accounts with google, and although I use google everywhere I certainly sympathize with their desire to remain off google's grid James Buckingham I agree Nina... jefflebow http://powtoon.com Rob Whyte Jeff, any sense of what % your students use your quizzler vocab review files? Daniel Craig Jeff, I like the animation sites as well. brian dean Any thoughts on Socrative? Daniel Craig Nina, I struggled with the Google monster a little, but I decided that it was something I was willing to have them do. Daniel Craig Brian, I was just going to write about that. Daniel Craig My students have really liked Socrative both in terms of using as a student and as a teacher brian dean It has been good but little more than a game - not every student was able to connect - some had phones with low batteries... James Buckingham would like to learn more about it .. but more from the point of view of the data it collects on students ... jefflebow http://socrative.com/ brian dean I use it mostly to test comprehension - I post the questions on my powerpoint slides. Nina Liakos Low-tech way to do this: have students hold up cards with A, B, C, or D on them (front only so students are not influenced by others' choices) Nina Liakos Confession: I do not have a smart phone. James Buckingham the really power of these apps (i.e. Socrative) lies in the data collection.. error analysis James Buckingham ... that can be used to check a class' general understanding of a question or set of questions Daniel Craig Apps like Socrative are great for quick and dirty assessment. Best for anonymous assessment jefflebow (Admin)If anyone would like to join the hangout, we're at:https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/hoaevent/AP36tYcgbDfqF5-yrOBBumg2hBJz0Upx2lBFDU9kTpYQCWPIA1_OeQ?authuser=0&hl=en
Remember to mute the Youtube stream before joining. James Buckingham Apparently the data collection is there and with some depth.
From the Socrative site.. http://socrative.com/features.php
Review student understanding in a variety of report types: whole class overview, student specific results or question by question breakdown. All the reports can be downloaded, emailed or delivered to your google drive folder at any time. They are always accessible in your Reports section. jefflebowhttp://www.kamall.or.kr/?r=Eng James Buckingham ... must be off. Wish I could have come sooner .. and could stay longer. Many thanks for sharing. jefflebow (Admin)Thanks for stopping by James Daniel Craig by James. Thanks for your input Nina Liakos That must have been an awesome experience for those students! Nina Liakos Thank you for inviting me. I've enjoyed listening in and commenting. Nina Liakos Have a great fall semester! brian dean Thanks for doing this, Jeff. Daniel Craig Thanks for your participation Nina. Nice to (virtually) meet you :-) Daniel Craig Take care, Brian. Daniel Craig Thanks, Jeff. It was fun. brian dean Remember all that the international conference is crazy early this year - Oct 3 or 4 to 5. KOTESOL, that is. brian dean You too, Dan.

Dr. David Dolinger
"A Participant in Korean History and in Korean-Led Innovation of the Global Medical Industry"
Dr. David Dolinger, Vice-President at Seegene, Inc. in Seoul, Korea
The contrasts between the Korea of the 1970s and the Korea of today are vast and few people bring as unique a perspective to these changes as Dr. David Dolinger, who, having spent nearly 30 years outside Korea, returned in early 2011 as vice president at Seegene, one of Korea’s most dynamic and forward-looking companies.
With an academic and professional background in the medical field, Dr. Dolinger shares about his work as a US Peace Corps volunteer in Korea in the late 1970s, including his incredible involvement in the Gwangju Incident of 1980. His uncommon understanding of Korean culture and the Korean mindset also contribute to his many insights about working at Seegene and the future of medicine in Korea and the world.
Deepen your understanding of Korea by listening as David shares from his experiences and expertise!

Commissioner Hank Ahn
"Korea Is a Great Destination for Foreign Direct Investment"
Hank Ahn is Commissioner of Invest KOREA.
For too long, the advantages of Korea as a foreign direct investment destination have been overlooked while overseas companies have poured money into economies of Japan and China. However, with Korea’s rise to economic strength, the US Commerce Department reports that American companies’ investments in Korea have been more lucrative than anywhere else over the past decade.
It’s time for a new perspective on foreign direct investment to Korea and it is the role of Invest KOREA to help foreign investors find and execute their business plans in Korea successfully. In this interview, Invest KOREA Commissioner Hank Ahn shares with KBC listeners about the many advantages of doing business in Korea, as well as the amazing and free services provided by Invest KOREA.

Professor Ha-Joon Chang
"23 Things They Don’t Tell You About (Korean) Capitalism"
Professor Ha-Joon Chang is Professor in the Faculty of Economics, University of Cambridge, and author of the international best-seller 23 Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism.
The Korean economic miracle was not achieved through policies of free trade or hands-off capitalism. But, in the last decade, the Korean government has jumped on the global free market bandwagon, deregulating industries and signing free trade agreements with many other countries.
One voice that has consistently spoken out to remind people of forgotten history is Professor Ha-Joon Chang. Having lived through the Korean economic boom, and studied and taught development economics in Europe, Professor Chang brings a much-needed alternative perspective to the mainstream.
With a knack for explaining complicated concepts in easy-to-understand language, in his latest book, 23 Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism, Professor Chang helps KBC listeners understand the connections between global generalities and their specific applications to Korea.
You may not, in the end, agree with all of Professor Chang’s conclusions, but you can’t deny that he points out many truths of business and economics that others often overlook. His compelling perspective makes the debate richer and this interview contributes to an understanding of Korea and Korean business today.
Listen to the interview first, and then go out and buy the book. It’s available in at least eight languages.

Korea News Talk#3 - Stock Market Dive, Union Protests, & Sodium Level
Produced bySteven Bammel and hosted by Tom Tucker.August 9, 2011The Korea Business Interview Series
Tom Brown
"Homeplus: Tesco’s Success Story on Entering the Korean Market"
Tom Brown is Site Research Director at Homeplus Korea, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tesco of the UK.
Tesco’s entry into the Korean market contains valuable lessons for anyone doing or wishing to do business in Korea. While other foreign brands like Wal-Mart and Carrefour have failed, Tesco’s Korean brand, Homeplus, is moving from strength to strength as it closes the gap with the market leader, E-mart.
This interview covers many fascinating aspects of the Homeplus story in Korea. From its early partnership with Samsung, to an extraordinary level of office culture localization, as well as matching uniqueness of the Korean consumer market, Tesco and Homeplus have achieved an amazing success.
Tom Brown has been with Tesco in Asia during this time, both in Korea and China, leading the company’s efforts to locate new stores. His insider perspective leaves us with many valuable insights about business in Korea (and even a little about business in China!).
This interview is a “must-listen” for anyone with an interest in business in Korea.

[11:33] DolsotDan: The tancheon in Bundang was about 2 metres higher than usual on Wednesday, yet the soccer game at the Tancheon Sports Complex went ahead.
[11:34] Steven Bammel: What's "tancheon in Bundang"?
[11:37] DolsotDan: The Tancheon is the large stream that runs through Bundang and Seongnam and joins the Han at Olympic Stadium
[11:39] Scott: agree with Josh completely

[11:50] Scott: or having to redo things 3 or 4 times
[11:51] Scott: let's not talk about the re-calls then
[11:53] Scott: it also has to do with the fact the customer support is MUCH stronger in foreign markets, than the local doemstic market, and that is why Koreans are usually complaining about Hyundai
[11:53] Steven Bammel: I think the Genesis importing was mainly due to the price difference.
[11:54] Jeff: http://www.recentpoker.com/news/hyundai-gamblers-2351.html

Korea Business Talk #1
Produced bySteven Bammel and hosted by Tom Tucker.July 13, 2011The Korea Business Interview Series
Yong Wook Jun, Ph.D.
"Business Lessons in Hallyu & Globalization at Solbridge School of Business in Daejeon"
Yong Wook Jun, Ph.D. is Dean of Solbridge School of Business at Woosung University in Daejeon, Korea, as well as Director and Advisor to many Korean corporations.
Korea has been on a roll lately, and the Hallyu phenomenon that’s swept Asia, and is now making an impact in the West too, is a visible and powerful symbol of this success. In many ways, Korea has thrived on niche strategies, and no other educational institution in Korea more exemplifies both a niche strategy and efforts to maximize the benefits of Hallyu than Woosung University and Solbridge International School of Business.

Dick Warmington
"Uncovering Korean Potential at Chadwick School in Korea's New City of Songdo"
Dick Warmington is President of Chadwick International in Songdo, Korea, and previously CEO of Hewlett-Packard Asia Pacific, and before that, President of HP Korea.
When Korea Business Central asked Dick Warmington to do an interview for us, we just expected that he'd have great insights about Chadwick International School, Korean education and Songdo New City. We didn't realize he'd also previously run the operations of Hewlett-Packard in Korea during the late 80s and early 90s, and then HP's entire Asia Pacific operations through the Asian IMF Crisis of the late 1990s. We also didn't realize that Chadwick School breaks the mold for international schools by mostly educating Koreans AND bringing a new, pioneering model to education in Korea. One also can't help but get a little more excited about Songdo after listening to Dick gush about its uniquenesses.
This interview is inspirational as well as enlightening... It covers lots of ground as Dick shares insight after insight about Korea, Korean education and Korean business.

Didier Chenneveau
"Global Expertise Within the Korean Business Framework at LG Electronics"
Didier Chenneveau is President - Asia Pacific for CEVA Logistics, and previously EVP and Chief Supply Chain Officer for LG Electronics from 2008 until the end of 2010.
From 2008 until the end of 2010, LG Electronics did what's never been done before in Korean business. The company brought in five foreign executives to help bring the company up to international standards in a variety of areas. The experiment is over though; all the non-Korean executives have moved on, and LG Electronics is back in the hands of Koreans only, leaving a lot of unanswered questions about how prepared Korean multinationals are to become truly multinational.
Didier Chenneveau was one of the foreign executives and he served as Senior Vice President and Chief Supply Chain Officer for over two years. His insights from the experience are valuable for anyone interested in doing business in Korea, because they explore the limits of Korean business culture, the ways for Korea to improve and implications for others in making a success of their positions within Korean corporate business.
