I am a native Korean speaker. I have taught Korean at various institutions including universities in the UK, South Korea as well as for the UK government. I am interested in many modern languages and how people learn and use them. This is why I studied an MA in Applied Linguistics and Language Pedagogy at SOAS. I am currently investigating teaching methodologies including learning purposes, learners’ language backgrounds and cultural aspects of learning. My main interest is in second language acquisition and the learning process for second languages. I enjoy listening to learners’ language experiences including Korean and their native languages and different cultural elements that can bring diverse language use. Sharing these things always excites me and I believe that it inspires us to understand modern languages in practice.
