Special programs -- Teachers from Seoul, South Korea

Teachers from Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education

A program for teachers from South Korea sponsored by the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education (SMOE) brought nine Korean teachers to UD and the ELI at the end of August. In addition to attending a university graduate class and taking English classes in the ELI intensive program, program participants developed their language teaching skills through a series of teacher training workshops and seminars. The program also includes an experiential learning component with visits to a variety of American schools for classroom observations and hands-on experience. The six-month program has allowed the SMOE teachers to gain a deeper knowledge of American English in its cultural setting and a broad exposure to classroom and teaching practices in the United States.
