This activity is being proposed to promote and enhance Korean Studies in the Philippines, which, remains at the developmental stage. Despite the growing interests among Filipinos in Korea and its culture, there have only been a handful of scholarly initiatives related to deeper understanding of Korea, especially in the academe. In response, the 2012 University of the Philippines Korean Studies Symposium with the theme ―Strengthening Korean Studies in the Philippines‖ is being proposed to call the attention of Filipino scholars and students and on the importance of expanding the domain of Korean Studies in the Philippines with the aim of better contributing the promotion of enhanced Philippines-Korea relations. This symposium showcases multi-disciplinary topics about Korean Studies and other fields, such as language /language teaching, culture, and society. One of the goals of this symposium is to establish the linkage between the University of the Philippines and Korean overseas scholars. In reality, it is relatively difficult to develop Korean Language studies and Korean Studies program due to lack of experts in the field of Korean Studies. This symposium aims to provide the pool of potential lecturers or visiting professors who are willing to share their knowledge of Korean language and culture to faculty, researchers and students in the Philippines. Therefore it will seem promising that Korean studies will steadily be offered to the Filipino students. Another major objective of this symposium is to further inspire interests in Korean Studies among Filipino scholars. In addition, it is hoped that the symposium will likewise provide a venue from which academic linkages may be established that will be helpful for further strengthening of future academic programs in Korean Studies. Comparative and contrastive studies in Korean-related topics will help scholars discuss their academic interests, further collaboration and joint researches. Eventually, this symposium aims to contribute to the development of Korean Studies Program in the academic institutions in the country. 6 message from the up president 7 message from the up diliman chancellor 8 message from the korea foundation president Distinguished Participants of the 2012 Philippine Korean Studies Symposium, Ladies and Gentlemen: On behalf of the Korea Foundation, it is my great honor and pleasure to extend our heartiest congratulations to the organizers and participants of the 2012 Philippine Korean Studies Symposium. Above all, I would like to express my personal appreciation to Dr. Mary Ann Gaitan Bacolod and the relevant staff members of University of the Philippines, whose earnest efforts and thoughtful preparations have made possible this meaningful occasion. With this being the first Korean Studies Symposium for Korea-related research specialists in the Philippines, our Foundation regards this initiative as a vital cornerstone for further upgrading the standing of Korean Studies in the Philippines. Of particular note, this opportunity to promote the two-way exchange of ideas and recent developments among the participants will serve to significantly broaden the depth of Korean Studies scholarship in the Philippines. The Korea Foundation has been greatly encouraged by the Philippine‘s fast- growing interest in Korea and the robust demand for Korean education here. This is readily evident from the increasing number of prominent universities in the Philippines that maintain or intend to initiate a Korean Studies Program on their campus. In addition, this expansion of Korea-related education includes not only Korean language instruction but a growing variety of Korean Studies courses as well. In this context, the 2012 Philippine Korean Studies Symposium is undoubtedly a most timely and significant gathering to provide support for your Korea-related specialists, and thus ensure the steady advancement of Korean Studies at the University of the Philippines and throughout the local academic community. Finally, I would like to assure you of the Korea Foundation‘s commitment to continuously assist your efforts to promote Korean Studies in the Philippines, through our various support programs, to the full extent of our financial capability. Thank you. Byung-Kook Kim President Korea Foundation 9 message from the up department of linguistics chairperson Through the 2012 Philippine Korean Studies Symposium, we were able to know the current status of Korean language and culture education and the status of Korean Studies in the Philippines, as well as the challenges we are facing today, and we were lucky enough to hear the recommendations from our Korean Studies experts. With the various multi-disciplinary topics presented here today, we do hope that this symposium was not only able to emphasize the need for establishing Korean Studies in the Philippines or strengthen the ties between Korea and the Philippines. I wish that this symposium was also able to strengthen your desire to study Korean language and culture as well as your desire to do research on Korean-related topics. The main objective of this symposium is basically to generate the interest among students, scholars, and researchers to have a deeper understanding of Korean language and culture or Korean studies, and I would say that with the number of participants who witnessed today‟s event including the support of the faculty, experts, and our guests from different universities, and with the lively intellectual exchanges we have witnessed today, I believe that in this symposium we have raised and generated not only your interest but we have also felt your passion and love for Korea and the Philippines. With this, I wanted to tell you that your presence here today made us realize more the need for creating more intellectual discussions like these in the future. Of course, this symposium will not be a reality without the support of institutions and people who really worked hard for this symposium. First, I would like to thank the Korea Foundation for their generous support and the trust they have given us to host this particular kind of symposium; the Korean Cultural Center, the Embassy of Korea, Office of the President and Office of the Chancellor of UP Diliman, the Vice-Chancellor for Academic Affairs, our guests from the University of Auckland, from Yonsei University, Australian National University, Sangmyung University, Academy
