On Nov.22, hosted by foreign teacher Mr. Im Jang Soon from Korea, the fist Korean Corner of this semester was held by Business Foreign Languages Department at lecture room B3. This event was to further enhance the understanding of Korean culture among freshmen and to deepen exchanges of students in different grades.
At the Korean Corner, an introduction of traditional Korean culture including differences between ancient and current clothing customs and cuisines as well as the social developments in Korea was given by the host. The abundant use of body language accompanying the account of Korean history, customs and lifestyles made the students present all enthralled and more aware. A heated discussion ensued between the teacher and students, which pushed the event to new heights.
This event boosts students’ enthusiasm in learning Korean and opens a window on Korean culture, which will in turn stimulate students to study harder.
