Program Guidelines Support for Korean Studies E-Resources (2012) Program Guidelines Support for Korean Studies e-Resources (2012) 1. Program Objective In response to the growing significance of online resources for education and research purposes, the Korea Foundation provides program support to eligible universities to offset the user/subscription fees that are required to access online Korean studies e-Resources, for the benefit of Korea-related scholars and students. This program thus serves to complement the existing materials distribution program. 2. Eligible Applicants Institutions eligible to apply for program support include four-year degree universities that maintain a Center for Korean Studies, Korean studies department, Korean studies or Korean language programs, or East Asian programs with a Korean component, which thus need to make relevant e-resources available for faculty members and students majoring in Korean studies. 3. Scope of Support Up to 50% of the user/subscription fee(s) (total amount if there is more than one database) for accessing Korean studies e-resources. Program support per university is limited to US$5,000 * The Foundation decides on the final amount of the grant, considering the criteria set below in section 5 “Selection of Recipients.” N.B. Institutions that receive e-Resources support will be entitled to apply for the Foundation’s Distribution of Resources for Korean Studies Program only once a year, with the amount of the DRKSP support reduced by 50 percent. 1 Under this program, applicable e-resources include online databases, e-journals, e-books, and other online resources offered by public institutions or private parties, such as e-Korean Studies (KISS, KSI e-book, Korea A2Z, Kdatabase, Kpjournal, LawnB), *Nurimedia (DBpia, KRpia), e-articles, Kyobo Scholar, New-Nonmun, newspapers, RISS International, etc. N.B. *Nurimedia will continue to apply the “KF Subscription fee benefit” to the institutions that subscribe to DBpia and KRpia as long as the Foundation runs the Korean studies e-Resources support program. l However, newly subscribing institutions will be eligible for the benefit only if they receive the Foundation’s support and subscribe to DBpia and KRpia in 2012. (No newly subscribing institution will be subject to the benefit starting in 2013.) l Starting in 2013, only institutions that received the Foundation’s support in 2012 and onward will be eligible for the benefit. (In case your institution is not selected as the Foundation’s support recipient after 2012 even though you received support in 2012, you will not be eligible for the benefit any longer and should contact East View for subscription.) For more information and further questions, please contact Mr. Jeha Yeon of Nurimedia by phone at +82-2-710-5311 or by e-mail at [email protected]. 4. Application Submission Please complete the program application form and submit it to the Foundation, by e-mail ([email protected]) or postal mail postmarked no later than March 12, 2012. (Please note that we cannot accept applications by fax). The selected recipients will be notified individually by late March 2012. ※ Subscription fee negotiation with the DB vendors should be finalized before the application. 5. Selection of Recipients The priority and amount of program assistance for an applicant will be determined by the Foundation’s screening, based on such factors as an applicant’s number of Korean studies scholars and students, extent of usage of Korean studies e-resources, and efforts to diversify the program beneficiaries, in terms of country and region. 2 6. Annual Report Institutions that receive program assistance are required to submit an annual report, based on the Foundation’s prescribed form as soon as an institution’s subscription expires. For any queries about this program or the application procedures, please contact: (Ms.) Kyung-Min Bang / Program Officer E-mail: [email protected] Tel: +82-2- 2151-6543 Address: Media and Public Relations Center, The Korea Foundation, West 19F, Mirae Asset CENTER1 Building, 67 Suha-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul 100-210 KOREA 3 .

The relationships between the two countries were marked at the 19th century by tumultuous episodes due to French catholic proselytism and expansionist policy in East Asia but also by remarkable and unexpected scholarly achievements. At the 20th century, the isolated initiatives to promote and study Korea in France randomly taken by missionaries, diplomats, collectors and orientalists have been progressively replaced by institutionalized Korean studies that started to be structured within French universities and other higher education institutions with the help of specialists of other areas (China and Japan).

  • Professor Martina Deuchler: the Swiss Expert on Korean Studies
    When she was only 15 years old, Martina Deuchler visited an exhibition of Chinese paintings. She was so impressed with what she saw that she decided on the spot to devote her life to Chinese studies. Eventually she extended her interest to Korea and is today Switzerland’s leading expert on Korean history and culture. While still in high school, she started to learn the Chinese language. After receiving her diploma, she enrolled at Leiden University (Netherlands), where she studied classical Chinese and Japanese. In 1959, she received an invitation from Professor John K. Fairbank, the founder of modern Chinese studies in the United States, to continue her studies at Harvard University. For her doctoral dissertation, she chose to work on the opening of Korea’s seaports to Japan and the Western powers at the end of the 19th century. It was thus diplomatic history that opened Mrs. Deuchler‘s door to Korea. In those Professor Martina Deuchler: days, very few documents on Korean history were available in Western libraries. Therefore, after completing her Ph.D in the Swiss expert on Korean studies history and Far Eastern languages with a dissertation entitled “The Opening of Korea, 1875 - 1884” (published in 1977), she went to Korea to delve into the country’s past in the Royal Archives. A decade after the Korean War, the Republic of Korea was still an agrarian country with little industry, and life was very difficult. Yet during that two-year sojourn, Mrs. Deuchler decided to change the focus of her studies to Korean social history. That was a decisive change that connected her to Korea for the rest of her life.

  • Study Abroad at Korea University 2017 Study Abroad at Korea University
    2017 STUDY ABROAD AT KOREA UNIVERSITY 2017 STUDY ABROAD AT KOREA UNIVERSITY A Message from the President Dear International Students, There has never been a better time than the present to be an international student, indeed with so many inspiring and challenging academic programs at universities all over the world to choose from, we know there are many options available to you. For this reason we are very pleased you are considering studying in Korea and at Korea University (KU). Currently, KU is recognized as the top university in the nation in the area of international education. We have made a conscious effort to provide our students with a top-quality education that exposes them to different ideas and cultures from around the world. This plan also includes an important component of sharing the best of Korean culture with international students who come and study with us here in Seoul. Over the past eight years we have seen a dramatic increase in both the number of courses offered in English (currently about 40%) and in the number of international students who have selected Korea University as their desti- nation of choice for a study abroad experience. Last semester alone (Fall 2016) we welcomed almost 9,500 students to our campus from all parts of the globe. This is certainly a strong testament to the quality of the academic experience offered at KU and to the warm hospitality and inviting environment we have created on campus. We realize that studying in a foreign country presents its own challenges and difficulties. I myself was once an international student in the US in the 1980s so I know firsthand how demanding -- but ultimately rewarding -- the experience can be.

    49 English Teaching, Vol. 60, No. 3, Fall 2005 The Effect of Elementary School English Education on Korean High School Students’ English Abilities∗ Oryang Kwon (Seoul National University) Kwon, Oryang. (2005). The effect of elementary school English education on Korean high school students’ English abilities. English Teaching, 60(3), 49-66. Since the introduction of English education into Korean elementary schools, attempts have been made to assess the efficacy of teaching the English language in elementary school (ELES) through questionnaire surveys with students and teachers. However, no large-scale comparative research has been conducted in Korea to objectively measure the long-term gains obtained by ELES. The present study investigated the language abilities of the first ELES group in their first year of high school, comparing their scores with the scores of the same graders a year before (who were the non-ELES group). The participants were 5,133 high school students in 2003 and 4,188 students in 2004. A standardized test, called GTEC for STUDENTS, was administered in 2003 and 2004 to 10th and 11th graders. The result showed that the 10th grade ELES Group in 2004 outperformed the non-ELES groups, i.e., the 10th graders in 2003, and the 11th graders in 2004. The result demonstrated that elementary school English has a positive long-term effect. Educational implications and directions for future research are suggested. I. INTRODUCTION Korea introduced English education in elementary schools in 1997 as a required subject. The decision to bring the English language into Korean elementary school classrooms was based upon outcomes of discussions concerning its efficacy and efficiency.
