How to Improve Youth Literacy by Making Studying Easier
For the digital native generation, fast-forwarding and three-minute synopses are familiar ways to enjoy content.
For those who routinely experience brief, intense stimuli, understanding them in various contexts, interpreting them with the right criteria, and expressing them wisely is a tedious and cumbersome task.
In "Literacy Special Lecture for the Dopamine Generation," the author identifies those who respond to the powerful stimulation of short-form content as the "dopamine generation," and provides a special lecture on improving literacy using media content as an example.
The author emphasizes that the ability that young people must possess to survive in this era of constant change is none other than 'literacy.'
Literacy is the same as problem-solving skills that are essential for young people who will survive in the future.
However, in literacy classes for teenagers, we face sharp reactions like, "Why are you only doing this to us?" and "Even adults don't know the buzzwords we use." So we plan literacy classes that are not ignored by teenagers.
The animated film "K-Pop Demon Hunters," the book "Cherry Shrimp: Secret Message," Samyang Foods' "Buldak Bokkeum Myeon," and even the entertainment program "Please Take Care of My Refrigerator."
By actively utilizing media content familiar to youth, we stimulate their interest and guide them to develop their own literacy skills by comprehensively covering 'how to listen well and respond appropriately', 'how to gradually build vocabulary and background knowledge', 'how to grasp the core of speech and writing', and 'how to appropriately express my own thoughts' in accordance with the communication that occurs in everyday life.

Prologue: It's all on YouTube and ChatGPT?
Have you ever heard that the first special lecture is dark?
The beginning is concentration
Sorry! I was thinking about something else | How to piss someone off in 15 seconds | Are you a top-tier complex? | Is there a difference in study methods? | Why did I run out of rice? | Double-speed playback and multitasking?
I hear as much as I know
Give me some Iero Cider │ Are you a carrot? It's a carrot! │ Please don't write a novel │ You're like a fluorescent light
Understand the situation and context
Let's try this │ I bought bread because I was upset │ Automatic door vs. wall │ A rough errand │ Huh? Huh? Yes? │ Not spicy? A can of beer!
[Dopamine Shelter] Reading: Read Aloud
Second special lecture: Building vocabulary and background knowledge
Vocabulary is basic
Chicken Towel vs. Kitchen Towel │ Duffed vs. Covered │ Date Courses Near Seoul │ Mixed-Gender Accommodations Are Prohibited │ Burgers Are Folded │ Which Hospital Did Doctor Ahn Jung-geun Go to? │ The Disappearing Drug Kimbap │ The Word "Flat" Doesn't Mean "Flat" │ Initial Game and Crossword Puzzle
Background knowledge is gradually accumulated.
Are you F? Are you T? │ The greatest catfish of all time appears │ The coolest summer of your life │ Event Horizon │ No Kids Zone │ Frogs can't remember when they were tadpoles │ No○○○ Zone │ Become friends with a criminal record
What you don't know, you infer
Ordinary vs. Genius │ Sorry, Mom and Dad │ Eating seaweed soup │ Tying shoelaces │ It's better to wear out than to rust │ Don't even bother a dog while eating │ Too many cooks spoil the broth
[Dopamine Rest Area] Transcription: Write slowly
Read the third special lecture to understand its key points.
There are stages to reading too
Impatient Koreans from 25 seconds │ Why didn't I see it before? │ How to write neatly │ A bed is not a piece of furniture │ Before & After │ Eating a hamburger with chopsticks │ Let's go all out for slimness!?
Let's figure out the other person's intentions
What if I suddenly became a bug? Cherry shrimp? Chili shrimp? Colorful paint? Plain? Fiery? Samyang Ramen vs. Buldak Bokkeum Myeon │ The sanitation workers would scout me.
Utilize surrounding elements
"Elemental" is a Korean film? │ The evolution of Disney princesses │ Song selections, delicious restaurants, soccer broadcasts │ What's the identity of the customer at Burger King? │ Speed limits │ Car-free car commercial
[Dopamine Rest Area] Schematic: Reading while Drawing
Express your thoughts in the fourth special lecture in an organized manner.
Think before you speak
Oh, but... │ Avoid the dick │ Lesson from daily instructor Yunho Yoo │ Picked it up on the way? │ Take care~!! │ Who did what and how? │ I haven't gotten off yet │ Beginning-middle-end │ My own bookshelf in my head
The listener and the reader are important.
A speed quiz with good breathing │ Bread that makes you float to the sky when you eat it │ Grandpa, the fashion king │ The difference between Nodam and quitting smoking │ If you're Nodam, you can play games well? │ The curse of knowledge? │ If beauty is a crime, you are innocent │ Please wear a mask!
Expressing thoughts by connecting them to my experiences
A love letter written by AI? │ Kikni Naming Studio │ Sunple Dalgi Movement │ The Power of Happy Music │ Babamba, Nugabar, Candybar │ A Tale of Two Stories │ Please Take Care of My Refrigerator
[Dopamine Shelter] Reading Group: Reading and Conversation
Epilogue: Literacy for the Future

Into the book
Short-form content, with its short, powerful stimuli, numbs our minds.
If you're just fiddling with your smartphone, hours can fly by in the blink of an eye, but this isn't just the fault of short-form content.
It's up to us how we utilize that content.
So, we used this media content as a literacy education resource.
--- p.6
Intentionally increase the amount of time you focus on one activity without doing anything else.
First, start with what you like.
I watch 1-minute short-form humor videos, 5-minute music videos, 10-minute entertainment content, 1-hour dramas, and finally, 2-hour movies with great immersion.
Immerse yourself in the content and enjoy it while laughing and crying.
--- p.24
These days, many words are abbreviated.
Even when reducing, you must clearly understand what has been reduced and what words have been added.
Because the meaning changes a lot accordingly.
--- p.60
I enjoy watching JTBC's cooking variety show "Please Take Care of My Refrigerator."
You bring the guest's refrigerator and use the ingredients in it to cook a meal for the guest in 15 minutes.
This process is similar to writing.
--- p.214
Many students find the keywords 'books, reading, and literacy' boring and tedious.
Although the number of people reading books is decreasing, the ways to enjoy books are becoming more diverse.
In this rapidly changing reality, literacy is essential.

Publisher's Review

How Teens Can Survive in the Short-Form Era
Today's youth are a digital native generation born and raised in a digital environment.
For these people, fast-forwarding and 3-minute plot summaries are familiar ways to enjoy content.
For those who experience brief, intense stimuli on a daily basis, understanding them in various contexts, interpreting them with the right criteria, and expressing them wisely is a tedious and cumbersome task.
The author views those who respond to the powerful stimulation provided by short-form content as the "dopamine generation," and provides tips for teenagers to survive in the era of short-form content that causes dopamine addiction.
The ability we need to survive in this era of constant change is none other than ‘literacy.’
Literacy is the same as problem-solving skills that are essential for young people who will survive in the future.
"Literacy Special Lecture for the Dopamine Generation" covers the communication that occurs in everyday life, such as "how to listen well and respond appropriately," "how to gradually build vocabulary and background knowledge," "how to grasp the core of speech and writing," and "how to appropriately express my own thoughts," helping young people cultivate their own literacy skills.
The power of thinking developed through media!
Literacy classes for teenagers that make studying easier
What makes "Literacy Special Lecture for the Dopamine Generation" special is that it uses media content familiar to teenagers as lecture material.
The animated film "K-Pop Demon Hunters," the book "Cherry Shrimp: Secret Message," Samyang Foods' "Fire Chicken Stir-fried Noodles," and even the entertainment program "Please Take Care of My Refrigerator."
By using diverse media content as examples, we stimulate the curiosity of young people and guide them toward the goal of 'improving literacy'.
Additionally, this book motivates young people who find deciphering long texts particularly difficult by breaking them down into learning units and stimulating their interest with engaging media content.
By gradually lengthening the breath of short thoughts, we encourage students to develop the stamina to think deeply, and by tying up previously learned content to help them remember it, we complete the big picture of literacy.
This book helps students understand the world around them through literacy, interpret it correctly, and express themselves wisely.
“Literacy gives us the power to adapt to the present generation and live happily, and it also guarantees the power to live happily in the future.
People who are curious and inquisitive and adapt well to their current environment will continue to diligently learn and utilize new things in the future.
And I believe that power will play a big role in the future as well.” _From 'Epilogue'
