I recently gave a lecture titled, “Korean Content for Korean Students”, highlighting my contention that given the new educational environment (a global village, a wired world), we need to use more local and culturally specific content in our teaching/lessons. I focused on Korea but the ideas are applicable to whatever the foreign context, wherever you are. Find readings to support this presentation HERE.
