Students must keep track of their coursework in order to finish assignments on a weekly basis and finish the entire coursework within the school year. Students should also be responsible for checking and responding to any email correspondences using the email address indicated on their registration form. Teachers will generally expect students to respond to emails within 48 hours of receipt. ● Students are not to print or save the online materials other than instructions and worksheets, unless approved by your teacher. ● Some of the assignments will be graded automatically as they are multiple choice assignments with exact answers. Other assignments, such as open-ended questions and free response sections, will be graded manually by instructors. ● After successful completion of this course, students will be able to receive a progress report and a final report. A transcript will be issued upon student’s request. Technical Requirements: ● Students can access the online coursework via personal computer, laptops, smartphones, and/or tablet PCs. ● The laptop should have working speakers and microphone access as there will be listening and speaking activities. ● Students will need to be able to type in Korean using their device.

Be sure to have Zoom software downloaded from https://zoom.us/ Course Policies: ● Withdrawal: Request for withdrawal must be sent to the instructor during the 1st week of the course. ● Plagiarism: The term plagiarism includes, but is not limited to: o Receiving or knowingly supplying unauthorized information. o Using unauthorized material or sources. o Using the Internet as a means to copy work or post work for other students to copy. o Plagiarizing work in any form, including plagiarism committed by a member of a group in which the group is responsible for the assignment. In such a case, all members of the group have violated academic integrity. ● As determined by your instructor, the International Korean Educators Network, aka IKEN administration, or school and/or district administrator, if evidence of academic misconduct on assignments or exams is established, or if your submitted work is found to be profane or unduly disrespectful of others, the following consequences may apply: o You will fail the lesson o You will fail the lesson and be denied the opportunity to resubmit the lesson o You will fail the lesson and the class o You will fail the lesson, fail the class, and will be ineligible to enroll again. ● Academic Honor Code o The values of honesty, learning and the pursuit of excellence are central to the mission of this course. The Academic Honor Code is the system through which students taking this Korean Online Course uphold these values by assuming individual responsibility for integrity. An environment that encourages personal responsibility facilitates one of the highest aims of education, the free pursuit of knowledge. o At its core the Academic Honor Code is based on trust. Because trust is the bond that forms among all members associated with this course, it cannot exist independently or in a vacuum. Thus, it is essential that all members associated with this course in a way that exemplifies integrity. Students taking this online course are trusted and expected to be honest in their academic work. Any 2 violation of the Academic Honor Code destroys the value of the work, erodes the spirit of trust, and negatively impacts the mission of this course. o It is a basic assumption that credit is awarded for the work of the individual student and judged according to its quality by a designated teacher and the course as a whole. Violations of the Academic Honor Code thus involve an infraction of that basic assumption. Such violations include but are not limited to: ▪ Giving your log-in ID and password to someone so that he/she has access to the contents. ▪ Giving any material in any online materials to anyone, ranging from pre- reading activities to final exams. ▪ Someone else does your work for you and you submit it. ▪ Someone else does your work for you and he/she submits it for you. ▪ Downloading, copying, or printing the contents in part or the whole. ▪ Capturing images of the contents of the course in part or the whole. ▪ Using someone else’s voice when speaking. ▪ Looking at any materials when taking a test. ● Nondiscrimination Policy o The International Korean Educators Network, in compliance with the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1664, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, does not discriminate in matters of admission to this course and any activities because of race, color, national origin, marital status, religion, age, handicap, or sex. The organization will take steps to assure that the language not be a barrier to admission and participation to this course. ● Late Assignment Policy & Netiquette: Points will be deducted for late assignments. ● Community Standards and “Netiquette”: Each student is expected to conduct himself/herself in a professional manner during the class - taking full advantage of the learning opportunities available.

Rain or shine, however, the preparations for AKSE activities continue. On 21 August, 2008 the Fifth Korean Studies Convention for Graduate Students in Europe will begin, this year to be held in Leiden. Originally this was not an AKSE activity, the graduate students themselves taking charge of the entire organisation together with local teachers. This will not radically change, but AKSE will every year at the end of July include a request for funding of the convention of the following year to the Korea Foundation in its request for other activities and when necessary encourage graduate students to organise a convention. This will facilitate the work of the graduate students who are organising next year’s conference and promote continuity. Preparations are also under way for the 2009 AKSE Biennial Conference in Leiden.

  • 1. Korean Zodiac the Chinese Zodiac Signs Are Used by Cultures Other Than Chinese, Too
    EDIÇÃO Nº 07 NOVEMBRO DE 2014 ARTIGO RECEBIDO ATÉ 30/09/2014 ARTIGO APROVADO ATÉ 30/10/2014 ZODIAC ANIMALS IN KOREAN PROVERBS Arevik Chačatrjan Charles University in Prague, Department of Ethnology, Prague, Czech Republic SUMMARY:There are a lot of animals we can meet in Korean folklore, but in this paper are described the animals that are most commonly mentioned in the Far Eastern zodiac, better known in English as the Chinese Zodiac. Here are described the role of the zodiac animal images in Korean folklore: proverbs, sayings etc. Each animal has its allegorical form and expresses various traits of man. Dealing with twelve animals of the Korean zodiac such as rat (jui), ox (so), tiger (beom, horangi), rabbit (tokki), dragon (yong), snake (baem), horse (mal), sheep (yang), monkey (wonsungi), rooster (sutak), dog (gae), pig (dwaeji), this article represents a contribution to research in Korean paremiology in the specific field of animal idioms. Besides referring to proverbs and sayings about these animals, surely I also try to give some examples of their role and importance in the history of the Korean nation and in other genres of Korean folklore. For this article, are used both North and South Korean sources, mainly dictionaries and books of proverbs, in order to disprove the point of view that there are profound big language differences between the two Koreas. 1. Korean zodiac The Chinese zodiac signs are used by cultures other than Chinese, too. They are used in some other Asian countries that have been under the cultural influence of China and also in countries that have not been under influence of China.

  • Proverbs As a Means of Crossing Cultural Borders
    ACTA UNIVERSITATIS SAPIENTIAE, PHILOLOGICA, 10, 2 (2018) 85–97 DOI: 110.2478/ausp-2018-0015 Proverbs as a Means of Crossing Cultural Borders Elena BUJA Transilvania University of Braşov (Romania) Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics [email protected] Abstract. “The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence/hill” is an old English proverb which shows that people tend to appreciate more what others have, just by crossing (with their eyes) the border represented by the fence/hill. Though the afore-mentioned proverb is a strong piece of advice against comparing what we possess with what others have, the aim of my paper is exactly that: to compare proverbs belonging to the Romanian culture to those of the Korean one, not for the sake of highlighting the wisdom or beauty of the Romanian over the Korean proverbs or vice versa but rather for identifying similarities and differences in terms of structure, vocabulary, and, above all, meaning, being aware that proverbs are elements of language that best reflect a culture’s beliefs and values. To this aim, 50 Romanian proverbs selected from two memorable Romanian sources (Iordache Golescu’s Proverbe comentate ‘Commented Proverbs’ and Anton Pann’s Proverbele românilor ‘The Romanians’ Proverbs’) will be compared with their Korean counterparts. Keywords: proverb, internal and external markers, cultural characteristics . Motto: To truly know a people, know their proverbs. (Chinese proverb, Lau, Lau, and Lau 1995: viii) 1. Introduction For some centuries now, people of different cultures have been able to travel and meet each other for various reasons: to trade, to conquer, to visit, and, more recently, to study and cooperate on various international projects.

  • A Critical Autoethnography
    Constructing a multivocal self: A critical autoethnography Juria (Julie) Choi Thesis submitted for Doctor of Philosophy in Education Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences University of Technology, Sydney September 2013 CERTIFICATE OF ORIGINAL AUTHORSHIP I certify that the work in this thesis has not previously been submitted for a degree nor has it been submitted as part of requirements for a degree except as fully acknowledged within the text. I also certify that the thesis has been written by me. Any help that I have received in my research work and the preparation of the thesis itself has been acknowledged. In addition, I certify that all information sources and literature used are indicated in the thesis. Signature of Student: Date: Acknowledgements I have been so privileged to have had the opportunity to work with my amazing supervisor, to share intellectual conversations with my close friend after work each day, and to have been supported and encouraged in the most caring and inspiring ways by my partner. Each of these individuals has patiently listened to me telling and retelling my story endlessly over the last six years and when this is all over, I am sure they will welcome the break! This is a long-winded way of conveying my gratitude to Professor Alastair Pennycook, Professor David Nunan and Dr. Emi Otsuji for their amazing support, professionalism and friendship. I have taken much more than their advice and conversations over the years; their voices and ways of seeing are also deeply intertwined with who I see myself becoming. Bakhtin’s work around inner dialogues also reminds me that it isn’t only the visible that counts in the construction of new selves.
