Korean Summer Language(SLI) is a language and culture-intense immersion program, focusing on developing communication skills. The weekly program features daily language class sessions followed by cultural experiences. Language class sessions utilize oral practices through pair-work, role playing, singing songs, and listening comprehension practices through the textbook CD, K-POP and authentic vide
o skits. Between classes, mandatory lab hours are given to review materials learned in a previous class session and prepare for a quiz under the supervision of a Korean teaching assistant. Cultural experiences include learning K-Pop, calligraphy, playing a traditional game, cooking and presentations on culture and history. After daily sessions, a Korean resident tutor is available to help an individual student’s language practice based on their individual needs. During the field trip, cultural activities include visiting a Korean market and a bookstore, eating tasty Korean dishes at a Korean restaurant and learning Korean dining tips, and going to a Korean singing room to sing Korean songs learned in class. The weekend program also includes watching Korean movies, workshops on ethnic arts and crafts and visits by a Korean native speaker. Beginners will enjoy a well-incorporated language and cultural learning environment. The Korean SLI is challenging yet rewarding and worth it. (www.facebook.com/KoreanUNG)
