Will you please help me on a complex idea?

Question

I am thinking of putting up informative English Propaganda/great information that would ignite thought to South Korean students studying English. Please give me some creative ideas on what or how i could manage a revolving weekly type changing board of informative information. Perhaps the style of tool that i can divise to drive that tool of Education (something similar to a mandex). Please all comments and ideas are welcome; no matter how short or long they may be. Thanks..............Joe here

Answer 1

The word "propaganda" generally means information put out by one side in a conflict promoting their point of view while completely ignoring the opposing side. It carries connotations of lies and falsehoods. I don't think that's what you mean.

If I understand you correctly, you're looking for a way to put some kind of provocative information in English up for your students to read and think about, and presumably to discuss. Do you mean put it up on the Web? A free web site would probably do you just fine, then - even one from geocities (and trust me, I rarely recommend them). Or you could do this on a bulletin board in your classroom.

I'm not really sure what a "mandex" is, so I can't really comment there.

You might consider having them read a political website and comment on the articles there. On the conservative side, there's

On the liberal side, there's

Both publish things certain to (and, I think, designed to) drive the other side stark, staring mad.

Hope this helps.
