22nd and part of June 23rd will be devoted to the

Proposals can be submitted by an individual as well as panel

focus on the teaching of a specific aspect, i.e. grammar, vocabulary,
reading, how best to teach advanced Korean, curriculum issues, assessment
issues etc. It will be the
organizer's responsibility to select appropriate panel members. It should also be reminded that a
workshop presentation must be ¡°hands-on,¡± accompanied by a demonstration of
simulated classroom instruction.
The proposals should include step-by-step explanation of
procedures. We would estimate

Review of Abstracts/Proposals The abstracts will be screened by anonymous reviewers. A workshop proposal that does not
include step-by-step procedures and a paper abstract that merely introduces a
particular program, multimedia or otherwise, at his or her institution will
not be accepted. Some of the criteria to be followed in reviewing the
abstracts are: (a)
Clarity of the statement of the problem or approach discussed. (b)
The soundness of the proposed approach or method, if applicable. (c)
How significant are research findings or tested methods to the teaching of
Korean language, culture or literature? (d)
An explicit statement of reason for the choice of a particular problem and
the approach adopted to tackle in the classroom. (e)
How closely a demonstration simulates an actual classroom situation. (f)
Whether or not the panel has sufficient number of participants. Abstracts and proposals should be
sent to: Prof.
Young-mee Yu Cho at yucho@rci.rutgers.edu. |
