Interests

Teaching Interests:
I aim to teach not only the Korean language but also Korean culture, society, and daily practices in ways that are appropriate for each proficiency level. To support this approach, I develop level-specific instructional materials and strive to create engaging and meaningful learning experiences that enhance students’ motivation to study Korean while helping them enjoy the learning process and build confidence.
Research Interests:
My research interests include Korean language education, second language learning, and multicultural education. I have recently collaborated on research examining immigrant students’ experiences as they adapt to new cultures and languages in the United States. This work informs my teaching by helping me design culturally responsive and inclusive Korean language instruction.
