Providing Education Services with Korean Language and Culture Programs
Koreans have a history of 5,000 years, have overcome many external challenges and have created a unique and dynamic culture. Also, modern Koreans have achieved independence and democracy over the past century and are creating a nation of advanced cultural citizens. We are trying to make public and private school students in our community know better about Korea. Students' cultural understanding will be deepened through their experience with the scientifically designed Korean alphabet, and their experience in Korean food and traditional art. We hope to link this program to school education in the form of an after-school program or extracurricular activity.
Future society surely will require more people with exceptional abilities in one field, so it is advised that you as a business representative have basic language skills and a broad understanding of the history and culture of the target country you deal with. Most of the time you will officially use English when you work for Korea-related business, but corporate organizations take it as a fact that your fluency in a language is advantageous in performing your duties. If you know the history of Korea, the trend of Korean society, and the characteristics of Koreans, it will greatly help when you make business decisions. We would like to equip you if you are interested in taking Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK) which proves your fluency in Korean by offering a personal-to-person preparatory session.
Parents with Korean-American adoptees want to educate their adopted children about Korean culture in advance so that they do not suffer from their ethnic identity confusion. We hope to reach out the adoptive families who want education on Korean culture.
Korean-American students, who are the speakers of the heritage language, grow up in a society that does not use the Korean language in a dominant manner, so their Korean language skills degenerate. We provide Korean language education by creating a social environment, whether it is actual or virtual, and operating a systematic education system that follows the guidelines of foreign language education in the United States with emphasis on Korean history and culture.
