Personal Projects: Student Speeches - Interview Two (2)

The second interview was done with 17th waver Ko Geun-Hyeong. A student who once spoke in front of the whole school because of student speeches.

Interview Questions

1. What do you think is the purpose of the student speech program?
A: The obvious purpose would be participation. As the morning student speech is a part of a class, as its meaning suggests that students must participate.

But my motive was different. I wanted to  the head master. I wanted to fight him. Student speeches are the only way to express our criticism towards the school. There should be a function that allows students to show and tell their discontent. 

2. Do you think the purpose is being kept well?
A: Looking at the past speeches the obvious purpose is being kept well. There were a few nice topics that the students should focus into.

3. Some believe that the delivery of the message was somewhat lacking as to the use of English. Do you think that the student speeches should be limited to English?
A: I believe that the student speeches should permit Korean. The teachers can't understand if the students use English with their speeches. The speeches would be limited to the people who are good at English. As delivery is essential I believe that using Korean should be allowed.

4. What measures should we take to improve the student speech program?
A: First, the students must not be stopped during the speeches.
Second, there should be no censorship to the speeches.
Next, the audience should practice listening to the speeches. When I was doing the speech the seniors were yelling at me "Do it right!!"
Finally, even though the speaker is bad at English they should still try to intently hear the speeches.
