I will teach non-specialists Korean language modules. I believe that learning and speaking a second language enables students not only to acquire a new practical communicate skills but also to adopt a new identity by expressing their thoughts in novel ways that differ from their mother tongue. In the process of learning, they constantly challenge themselves to engage in self-reflection and develop self-awareness by regenerating their values and experiences through the lens of a foreign language. Ultimately, I hope their experience in learning language helps them to grow as individuals with an open-minded perspective, facilitating greater global interaction beyond the classroom.
