Elementary School English (YBM Kim, 2020)

 

I found another South Korean clips on YouTube from uploader Jayedu. Playlist 2020GH English Class. Not exactly sure about the title. Grades 5 and 6. Original source are from YBM digital textbook (webdt.edunet). Pic from Grade 5 Lesson 7 What Time Do You Get up? unit 2. YouTube title 초등학교 5학년 영어 ybm(김) 7단원 2차시 디지털교과서 활용 학습 안내.

Different clips "Think and Talk" including songs "Let's sing". Few and short clips. Not sure if there's a CD-ROM/DVD version as well. Hard to research. I don't know Korean.

Elementary School English (later edition)

 

During research for the Kevin and Ann series, I found some other clips on YouTube assuming for another course, but it's also the same South Korean public course Elementary School English by Genius Education Co. Ltd. (천재교육) / Ham Soonae (함순애) grades 3-6 but a later edition. I think not the current edition by EBS. Maybe a late 2010s edition.

Pic 1 from grade 5 lesson 8 (How much are the shoes?) showing Tony, pic 2 from grade 4 lesson 8 (I'm a pilot) showing Kevin. Some girls are Lisa and Ubin. Most or all units still have the same title like "Whose Sock is this?". Clips are 10-20 minutes but have 2 very brief live-action scenes each, about 1 minute total. 2020 uploads by TV-rw4gg (방콕TV). One clip is called  5학년영어#Where are you from?#디지털교과서#천재교과서#함순애#1과2차시.
