2011 Sogang Korean Studies Summer Program

Dear faculties and
researchers,

This is Office of International Affairs at Sogang
University, and writing to introduce Sogang Korean Studies Summer
Program.

Please take a look at the attached brochure about the
Sogang Korean Studies Summer Program.

The program offers an innovative and flexible
combination of team-taught Korean Studies Seminars (in English) and Korean
language instruction. This year’s program is the product
of collaboration among the Office of International Affairs, faculty at Sogang
University and four of our partner universities, and our Korean Language
Education Center.

Through this collaboration, we are able to offer a
range of interdisciplinary courses and faculty-led field trips that will give
students an in-depth understanding of various aspects of Korean society and
culture and history, as well as many opportunities to experience both
traditional and modern Korea.

The experience and learning environment will be
enhanced by the collaborative teaching of Sogang University professors and
visiting professors from our partner universities, and by the daily interaction
with Sogang University students who will also be participating in all of the
courses and field trips.

This year, the topics of
are:

- Korean Studies Seminar 1:
