Sponsored by Korea Foundation (KF), American Association
of Teachers of Korean (AATK) is pleased to announce a call for proposal for
a teaching fellowship for graduate students teaching Korean language. The
purpose of this program is to expand and enhance Korean language education
in America
by providing stipend for graduate teaching assistants (TA) in those
institutions which cannot afford to hire regular instructors to offer
Korean language courses. The funding priority will be given to those
institutions which:
1) Want to develop a new Korean language program from the scratch, or to
upgrade an existing tutorial/self-instructional/critical language program
to a regular program
2) Need an extra instructor to expand Korean language course offerings
3) Cannot afford to provide a drill instructor for a faculty such that the
faculty is overloaded with too many teaching hours
4) Want to create separate tracks between heritage and non-heritage
students.
The funding is initially for one year with the possibility of renewal for
the second year pending the evidence of the effectiveness and promise of
the program. The application should be submitted by a faculty who is in
charge or support of Korean language program. The application material
should include an application letter along with the application form in the
attachment, as well as an endorsement letter from the head of the academic
unit in which the Korean language program is housed. All application
material should be submitted electronically to Prof. Hyo Sang Lee, the
Executive Secretary (korean@indiana.edu)
The application deadline is March 1. The application will be reviewed by
the evaluation committee which consist of AATK officers and some executive
board members, and the evaluation result will be notified by March 15.
If you have any inquiry, send your inquiry to:
