Lights, Camera, Korean! A Mini Studio for Student Voices
Help me give my students a mini broadcast studio with wireless microphones, lighting, a green screen, and a mirror, so they can speak Korean with confidence, share their voices beyond the classroom, and grow as creative communicators.

My Project
Imagine a classroom that transforms into a small broadcast studio — lights on, microphones ready, and student voices rising with confidence. In this space, Korean is no longer confined to worksheets or scripted dialogues. It becomes alive, moving beyond classroom walls and out into the world.
Language learning reaches its full potential when it has purpose — when students use it not only to complete assignments, but to express who they are, to share stories, to connect across cultures.
That’s when learning feels real. That’s when it inspires pride, excitement, and joy.
With this project, our Korean classroom becomes more than just a room — it becomes a stage, a studio, a platform. Students will create cultural news reports, perform role-play interviews, and deliver heartfelt introductions — all in Korean. Tools like wireless microphones, ring lights, a green screen, and even a mirror will support their performance, expression, and growth. A storage cart will keep this creative space student-run and well-organized.
As members of the National Korean Honor Society take the lead in managing our studio, they will inspire their peers to speak up and step forward. And as students hear their own voices — clear, proud, and powerful — they’ll realize that Korean isn’t just a subject they study. It’s a language they live, and a story they’re ready to tell.
