English Teachers in Korea Teaching Global History and Culture

English teachers in Korea are expanding the scope of what is being taught to Korean students. For instance, in Chungbuk Province, Chungbuk International Education Center has been operating ‘World Citizens Learning through History and Culture’ since April 26th.

The course aims to help students in the province grow into global citizens with international communication skills through classes with native-speaking teachers.

Students participate in various class activities of native-speaking teachers focusing on topics such as history, culture, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

By communicating in English on topics such as poverty and quality education, global peace, gender equality and inequality reduction, terrestrial ecosystem protection, and global cooperation, students can naturally think about the meaning and role of being global citizens.

The 13th class will be operated in the first half of the year for students in Cheongju-eup/myeon area and Jincheon/Eumseong/Goesan/Jeungpyeong elementary/middle/high school until November 30th.

A total of 535 students from 12 schools, including 159 students from 5 elementary schools, 56 students from 3 middle schools, and 320 students from 4 high schools, will participate.

Elementary and middle school students go to the Center for two days, and high school students go for one day. Buses are provided to elementary and middle schools participating in the commute-to-school program, while high schools dispatch middle schoolers, and English teachers in Korea visit to conduct the program.
