program overview

location

academic programDuring this 6-week summer program, students will teach English at the Kyung Hwa Private Girls’ School in South Korea while earning practicum credit. The program will begin with a series of on-campus seminars prior to departure designed to introduce KU students to the Korean language, engage students in cross-cultural activities relevant to South Korea, and provide an opportunity for students to learn more about the school and their Korean hosts.

The program as a whole will engage students in a study of theories of second language acquisition and models of English as a Foreign Language practice. In addition, students will have exposure to issues related to English as an International Language, with particular focus on the role of English in contemporary South Korea.

While in South Korea, students will participate in two group excursions: an extended visit to the coastal city of Sokcho, famed for its beautiful natural environment and seafood (or harbor); and a weekend trip to Seoul, including visits to Namsan Tower, Namdaemun Market, and Kyungbok Palace,

Six hours of undergraduate or graduate level credit are granted by the University of Kansas upon successful completion of the program. This program fulfills KU Core Goal 4.2 and replaces the “Non-Western” ANTH 160/SOC 130 requirement for Education majors.

Undergraduate students will enroll in the following courses:

South Korea has a 5,000 year history with ancient palaces, pagodas and stunning green landscape with majestic mountain tops. It also has ultra-modern skyscrapers and a fast paced city life. In addition, it is one of the world’s most technologically and scientifically advanced countries due to companies such as Samsung and LG serving as global leaders in electronics.

Seoul, with a population of over 20 million in its metropolitan area, is one of Asia’s largest cities and is the political, financial and cultural center of Korea.

The Kyung Hwa Private Girls’ School campus is located in Gwangju Gyeonggi, a southeastern suburb of Seoul. The residential school comprises a high school, a middle school, and an English business high school. The campus is on a hillside overlooking the city and well-appointed with classrooms, dormitories, dining facilities, gardens, tennis courts, a swimming pool, and gymnasium.
