The King Sejong Institute Foundation (hereinafter KSIF, President: Lee Hai-young) operates THE “Training Center for Educators” for future Korean educators starting this year.
Teachers who are employed at the site of Korean language education in a foreign country, such as those who major in Korean education or KOICA Korean volunteers, need to quickly adjust to the practical affairs. In the future, KSIF will help them improve their practical skills through the Training Center for Educators.
Last September, the Training Center for Educators had already conducted its first training session for future Korean educators. The first training session in which 16 trainees participated included theory of teaching method and evaluation of Korean language, curriculum design practices, and understanding and practice of Korean culture education. In consideration of the COVID-19 situation, the training was operated completely non-face-to-face, and the efficiency was improved by combining online self-learning and real-time interactive education.
Meanwhile, 42 persons were selected out of the 97 who applied for the first session of cooperative training for KOICA Korean volunteers. The first session of cooperative training received a great response from the trainees with programs that meet the needs of KOICA volunteers, such as special lecture on career path by Professor Yoon Kyung-won (Korean Department, Sejong University), understanding of non-face-to-face Korean language classes, etc.
One trainee who participated in the first training said, “It was a great opportunity to strengthen my practical competency as a future Korean teacher. I was able to enhance my understanding of the roles and duties of a dispatched Korean educator.”
The second training session for future Korean educators was operated until October 30. In November, the third and fourth training session and the second session of KOICA cooperative training will be operated.
