The best instructors in South Korea will provide tailored solutions for students and families struggling with academic performance on Channel A's "Please Help with Grades: Teachers 2," where 'elementary school mom' Han Hye-jin and Jang Young-ran will be captivated by 'overzealous mom' and current high school Korean language teacher Yoon Hye-jung's children's Korean language education methods.
In the episode airing on the 25th, 'Mokdong mom' Jang Young-ran will meet with the 'emperor of public education' and top Korean language instructor Yoon Hye-jung to ask her numerous questions. Jang Young-ran expressed her eagerness, saying, "There’s a saying that children should be attending essay academies from a young age, but what should I do to help my elementary school child achieve a level 1 grade in Korean on the college entrance exam? We have to start now." This astonished Jo Jung-sik, who remarked, "How can I know everything?" Another 'elementary school mom' Han Hye-jin also focused on Yoon Hye-jung's responses along with Jang Young-ran.
To this, Yoon Hye-jung responded, "I also have a 6th-grade and a 2nd-grade son, so just have them read books happily." The surprisingly simple answer left Jun Hyun-moo, Han Hye-jin, and Jang Young-ran perplexed. Yoon Hye-jung advised that parents shouldn't just wait for their children to read on their own. She recommended that they start with fun books to develop good reading habits, focusing on various books that the children enjoy.
Another parent, Jo Jung-sik, requested, "Please recommend some specific books." Yoon Hye-jung suggested, "When they are young, start with traditional folktales, then move on to more substantial classic novels like 'Kim Won-jeon,' 'Geumbul-jeon,' and 'Jeon Woo-chi.' These classical novels, which are often featured in the college entrance exams, have engaging illustrations and an appropriate amount of text," noting that even knowing the plot in advance can be helpful.
In response, Jun Hyun-moo admired, "If the 'Jeon Woo-chi' I read in my childhood appears in the college entrance exam, not only will the content come to mind, but it will also provide psychological stability." Furthermore, Yoon Hye-jung recommended a Hanzi mind map study method that kids can engage with as if they were playing, saying, "Even if they don't know how to write the characters, it’s beneficial to know what the meanings of the characters are in advance." In response, Jun Hyun-moo quipped, "Even the teacher is an 'overzealous mom,'" eliciting laughter.
The tips from Yoon Hye-jung, the 'number one expert' in Korean, on how to build valuable Korean language skills in a fun way from a young age and the solutions for students who have only been studying for 6 months will be available on Channel A's "Please Help with Grades: Teachers 2," airing at 7:50 p.m. on Sunday the 25th.
