Participants will work with specialists to learn about the Korean peninsula beyond the media coverage, drawing on Korean narratives and texts to enrich their teaching about contemporary South Korea in the classroom.

Learning in summer is great, yet controversial idea. Japanese and Koreans have always fascinated me with their non-traditional ideas, still, these nations seem to have shown great results in getting good education and keeping up with the progress. The well-known Essay Online Store service states that teacher also have to develop themselves in order to discover some new methods and techniques in teaching. I hope I will have enough time to get ready to the following seminar in 2017 and apply for a position in the program because I always wanted to work with professionals and top professors to get an ahead step in my teaching.
