Casual conversations. Shared interests. Real connections.
Join our informal online seminar groups for relaxed discussions on topics that spark your curiosity. These small-group sessions are all about connecting with fellow educators, sharing insights, and exploring what fascinates us about Korean language teaching — no formal presentations required.
Curious about ChatGPT in the classroom? Wondering how AI will change Korean language education? Join us to explore emerging technologies, share experiments, and discuss what the future holds. Whether you're tech-savvy or tech-curious, all perspectives welcome.
Explore language as an adaptive, holistic system from a cognitive sociolinguistic perspective. Korean offers a fascinating window into both cognitive universals and culturally specific aspects of human communication and evolution. From dialects and onomatopoeia to colour and spatial perception and Konglish — this is a space for candid conversations about how Korean really works in the real world.
Swap ideas, share resources, and troubleshoot together. Whether you're creating worksheets, designing activities, or adapting existing materials, this group offers a supportive space to discuss what works (and what doesn't) in your classroom. Bring your questions, wins, and works-in-progress.
Team leads set dates based on member availability — no rigid timetable.
