  • An Outlook on Korea-Australia Relations

Its mandate ranges across all the dimensions of international policy debate in Australia – economic, political and strategic – and it is not limited to a particular geographic region. Its two core tasks are to: • produce distinctive research and fresh policy options for Australia’s international policy and to contribute to the wider international debate. • promote discussion of Australia’s role in the world by providing an accessible and high quality forum for discussion of Australian international relations through debates, seminars, lectures, dialogues and conferences. Lowy Institute Perspectives are occasional papers and speeches on international events and policy. The views expressed in this paper are the author’s own and not those of the Lowy Institute for International Policy. New governments, new beginnings: an outlook on Korea-Australia relations Outcomes report Prepared by Dr Malcolm Cook On 20 June, the Lowy Institute hosted a conference on the prospects for closer relations between Australia and the Republic of Korea (ROK) given the recent changes of government in both countries. The discussion during the day came up with a variety of feasible proposals built upon the strong and often unremarked upon bases for cooperation. The Institute is very grateful to the Australia-Korea Foundation for its generous support. The conference could not have been held without it. The discussions during the day were held under the Chatham House rule of non- attribution to ensure frank exchange.

  • Developing Cultural Awareness in the Korean University Classroom
    Designing and teaching a culture course in Korea : developing cultural awareness in the Korean university classroom submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts in Teaching Degree at the School for International Training Brattleboro, Vermont By Melanie van den Hoven, 2003 1 This project by Melanie van den Hoven is accepted in its present form. Date _______________________________ Project Advisor ___________________________________________ Project Reader ____________________________________________ Acknowledgments: Gayle Nelson 2 Abstract This Independent Professional Project outlines my process of becoming aware of the interrelationship of language and culture in the Korean University language classroom and the issues surrounding teaching culture in Korea at the turn of the millenium. My decisions, reflections and realizations made as an expatriate EFL teacher based in Seoul, Korea, which helped to address these concerns, are fully presented. This paper reflects on the “culture bumps” inherent in my living and teaching context, and the cultural adjustments made both in the classroom and out. It also explores the major theoretical influences that have been helpful in designing a Culture course for Korean university students. It then presents and evaluates the curriculum and lesson plans that were created and implemented.

  • Travel Lifestyle Segmentation for Korean Australians and Koreans in Korea
    Cultural influences on travel lifestyle: A comparison of Korean Australians and Koreans in Korea Author Lee, SH, Sparks, B Published 2007 Journal Title Tourism Management DOI https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tourman.2006.03.003 Copyright Statement © 2007 Elsevier. This is the author-manuscript version of this paper. Reproduced in accordance with the copyright policy of the publisher.

Downloaded from http://hdl.handle.net/10072/15786 Griffith Research Online https://research-repository.griffith.edu.au 1 Cultural influences on travel lifestyle: a comparison of Korean Australians and Koreans in Korea Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference in the travel behaviour of two groups of Koreans: those resident in Australia and those resident in Korea. A series of items measuring travel specific lifestyle were analysed using factor analysis and cluster analysis. The two groups were classified into four clustered segments based on seven travel lifestyle factors. Chi-square tests were conducted to compare the two groups on the basis of the clusters as well as demographic variables and respondents’ travel experiences and preferences. The results included findings that, when comparing the two groups, those Koreans who had migrated to Australia were more likely to avoid group travel, take longer holidays and make travel arrangements without the aid of a travel advisor. Keywords: lifestyle, travel behaviour, segmentation, Korea, Australia, immigrant, cross-cultural 2 1. Introduction Throughout the world there has been a growing trend of migration to new home countries. However, while research has considered cross-cultural studies of travel behaviour there is a lack of research that specifically investigates immigrants’ travel behaviour.
