About

As an avid EFL learner / TESOLer, I've been actively involved in ELT industry ranging from book writing, program developing, lecturing as a TESOL professor in EWHA, hosting and writing a number of English education programs on different media channels. I'm a firm believer in the impact of output in communicative language learning and teaching, and motivation as a key factor in every language learner's success. Currently, I'm developing an AI-based mobile application that provides English /Korean service according to the user's location as well as educational elements. Also, I'm hosting and writing for two English conversation teaching programs on EBS radio. KOTESOL has always been the source of my biggest inspiration professionally as well as spiritually.

Synchronous (Onsite) Collaborating in the Context of Korean EFL more

Sat, Apr 29, 14:00-14:50 Asia/Seoul

Collaborating has been strongly emphasized as a key concept to nurturing world citizenship among Korean EFL learners in school education since 2015 when the education policy was newly modified. This can be seen as a meaningful shift from EFL's conventional role in the past, which mainly focused on promoting learners of different levels to communicate actively. This study examines how the concept of collaboration is implemented in class activities, by teachers and by learners as well, to widen their horizons to become world citizens in the true sense.
