WonderGirls, Big Bang and Goo Joon Pyo appear on students’ test papers

[-ochre.livejournal.com]

This isn’t the first time such things have been reported.

“What does Big Bang DaeSung’s sentence mean in the following?” (Off year 1 mid years paper of A middle school)

“I saw Gu Junpyo with my own eyes yesterday” (Off year 1 mid years paper of B middle school)

How creative can Korean teachers get?






It has become a trend that idol group and talents’ names appear in student’s exam papers.

It has been reported that some male teachers like to use the names of their favourite So Nyeo Shi Dae members or other female entertainers for setting their test papers. Such has become a hot topic on online forums where students share their exam question with the idols’ names in them.

The responses to seeing idols or talents’ names in the exams was that it give exams a fresh feeling. And in fact, it has already become a trend a few years back.

Netizens repsonses:

* “The teachers have ’sense’.”
* “Don’t know what kind of teacher he/she is, he/she sure has ’sense’.”
* “It sure looks fun to be learning from such teachers.”
* “The teachers have to get in line with the current trends to win over the students.”
* “If I see the name of the entertainer I like in my exam papers, I would laugh out.”

That’s fanatic Korea for you.

My High School teachers did that too.
Sometimes, even using some of the more popular students' names for extra LULZ.

[afrahh.livejournal.com]

[chrestomanci]

I've had a bunch of teachers use celebrity names on my exams too. Do I get a prize?

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

You get a .gif

[walnuuut.livejournal.com]

LOL

This reminds me of my teacher last year who was a big fan of Big Bang. So in one of her true of false tests, we have to write Big if the statement's true and Bang if it's false. HAHAHAH

[biznass.livejournal.com]

lol omg that is amazing.

[incisively.livejournal.com]

Ummm...on my English Aptitude test, I had to write an essay on Facebook.

[deawere.livejournal.com]

[natacha92.livejournal.com]

LOL How awesome. The closest thing I ever got was in my final English exam in high school where the article I was supposed to analyse was about LotR.

I had a question with Hermione in it, but this was before the books and movies became really big. So everyone was like 'how do you say her name? Hermy-one?'

[gawibawibo.livejournal.com]

I wish my teachers would do that, if only they knew about K-Pop :(
I often do it though, on my Spanish language/ linguistics exam answers.

[kittykitt129.livejournal.com]

I do that on my economics tests.
No names, but the situations are true.

[deazaskia.livejournal.com]

i can't imagine my reaction would be if i'm facing that kind of exam questions. i could be flailing randomly tho. ^^

[sugardrizzle.livejournal.com]

lol. This is cool. Our music teacher includes the some k-pop & j-pop groups in our exams, too. XDD

[kawaiiairbender.livejournal.com]

lulz, I am going to somehow use my love of Kpop in teaching when I start. I'll probably have the kids learn dances for freetime XD

[yourexsilly.livejournal.com]

whenever my teachers included things like students names or celebrities, it'd make me laugh to no end. in health class we had an exam that was like "Paris Hilton has painful lesions on her genitals that keep coming back. What STD does she have?"

[kittykitt129.livejournal.com]

I think they're trying to get them to pay attention more. If they see an idol's name on their papers, they're more likely to pay attention to the subject. Just like, if I see the name of a friend on my test paper, it becomes more interesting to solve. They're generic names, not ones of people in school, but I'd LOVE it if people here did that. It would become SO much more meaningful to do a word problem featuring the name of the girl next to me.

[xradiostatic.livejournal.com]

hahah that's awesome.

my trig teacher junior year of high school was a huge fan of the chicago cubs and she would make up problems using the letters of cubs. like cu=b-s and stuff and everyone would be like "oh i see what you did there" LOL.

[le-byul.livejournal.com]

HHAHAHAHAH I used to teach Englisht to Koreans before and I always used Kpop as examples. Students would go ^0^ if you started talking about Super Junior during the lecture. LOL. xD

[samloves.livejournal.com]

LMAO. I remember I almost died when I saw 'Changmin' in my Korean comprehension.
