- Teaching interests
-
My dream as a child was either to be a writer or a teacher. I am very pleased to be a teacher in the prestigious 91̽»¨ University and enjoy teaching and meeting students. I strongly believe that learning languages should be fun. Therefore I do varied activities in the classes where students could use the language in the simulated situations. I use a lot of games, songs as well as using my own video and audio materials. To help the students with their speaking Korean, I arrange language exchange programmes with the Korean people in 91̽»¨. I feel that if somebody is interested in culture, the motivation for learning the language would be boosted.
As an experienced translator and a language learner of several different languages myself, I feel that I am aware of the difficulties that students might face when they learn Korean. I endeavour to help students to ease the difficulties with their learning Korean.
