K-Connectors 13 days ago Inha University's K-Connectors 'With Korea' Team Conducts Club Activities Utilizing K-MOOC Courses
The 'With Korea' team, part of the K-Connectors operated by the Korean Studies Dissemination Research Center at Inha University's Institute of International Relations, organized a cultural exchange and K-MOOC study club between Korean students and exchange students during July and August. Team leader Jung Dahyun (senior, majoring in Social Welfare) mentioned that they chose K-MOOC courses as a medium for deeper learning and dissemination of Korean studies. However, they observed that the completion rate of K-MOOC courses was only about 13% on average. To address this issue, they created small "pacemaker" groups consisting of Korean and exchange students to encourage mutual support and motivation in completing the courses. The Korean students acted as pacemakers, encouraging each other to keep up with the course material. The activities went beyond merely completing the courses. The team also engaged in writing study logs, hosting related events, and conducting cultural exchange activities, aiming to overcome the limitations of the online format of K-MOOC. The team leader of 'With Korea' reported that these activities not only helped participants better understand the course material but also enabled them to develop their own perspectives on Korean studies. This process also facilitated network-building among Korean students and laid the groundwork for them to act as citizen diplomats. The team selected two K-MOOC courses, “Korea and Korean Diaspora Through Food and Culture” and “Politics and Industrialization of Korea,” based on group preferences. Over about six weeks, the participants completed the courses. During the course, Korean and foreign students formed small groups, held weekly meetings to review and discuss the lecture content, and kept activity logs. This structured support ensured that all participants completed the courses without dropping out. After completing the courses, the team organized a review contest, where participants created and submitted reviews of the courses. These reviews were then used to create card news pamphlets to promote the courses further. Additionally, they conducted a street campaign to spread awareness of Korean studies using K-MOOC courses. This campaign targeted a diverse audience, including foreign tourists visiting Korea, foreign residents, international students, and Korean students. The team created and distributed pamphlets and quizzes related to Korean studies to engage participants and encourage further interest in the subject.

K-Connectors 13 days ago Inha University's K-Connectors 'Buddy' Team Conducts Korean Studies Tour Project
The 'Buddy' team, part of the K-Connectors operated by the Korean Studies Dissemination Research Center at Inha University's Institute of International Relations, organized a Korean studies tour project in August, targeting international students. The theme of the tour was modern and contemporary Korean culture, with the aim of providing international students with a deep understanding and hands-on experience of the regions in Korea known as cultural "hotspots." Team leader Kwak Dohyun (majoring in Political Science and International Relationship) pointed out that many current tour programs are one-off events and often lack sufficient information about the tour locations, leading to a lack of understanding of these areas. To address this, the Buddy team divided their activities into three steps. The first step involved recruiting international participants and providing them with educational sessions on the target areas, Seongsu-dong and Jongno-gu, which they would visit during the tour. ▲ Part of the pre-tour educational materials provided by the 'Buddy' team. In the second step, they conducted the tours to these locations, reinforcing and internalizing the knowledge shared during the educational sessions. The final step involved producing a video of the entire tour activity, which was then uploaded to social media to allow as many people as possible to experience the tour indirectly. Additionally, the team created pamphlets summarizing the tour results and shared their experiences at an open booth, where they also conducted in-depth interviews with booth participants to gather detailed impressions and discuss issues related to Seongsu and Jongno.

K-Connectors 13 days ago Inha University's K-Connectors 'Hangukdaegyo' Team Conducts Korean History Promotion Project
The K-Connectors, operated by the Korean Studies Dissemination Research Center at Inha University's Institute of International Relations, are a public diplomacy group committed to promoting Korean studies through various activities. Among the ten active teams, the 'Hangukdaegyo' team carried out the 'Discover Korea' project, aimed at introducing the history of Korea—including the Joseon Dynasty, the Japanese colonial period, and modern history—to international students. The Hangukdaegyo team noted that for foreigners who are either on short-term visits to Korea or have a low interest in history, it can be challenging to learn and understand the extensive history of Korea. As a result, many foreign visitors end up simply exploring major historical sites without gaining a deep understanding of Korean history. To address this issue, the team created a concise historical guidebook that summarizes the timeline of Korean history in a single page. This guidebook was distributed to foreigners to help them grasp the overall timeline of Korean history, from the Joseon Dynasty to modern times. The Hangukdaegyo team explained that this guidebook aims to spark curiosity about Korean history and enrich the historical experience by providing a comprehensive understanding of Korea's historical timeline.

K-Connectors 13 days ago Inha University's K-Connectors 'IKSS' Team Conducts Practical Korean Language Promotion Project
The K-Connectors, operated by the Korean Studies Dissemination Research Center at Inha University's Institute of International Relations, are a public diplomacy group committed to promoting Korean studies through various activities. Among the ten active teams, the 'IKSS (Inha Korean Studies Supporters)' team conducted a Korean language education project aimed at international students. The IKSS team identified that many international students face difficulties in their daily lives and cultural activities in Korea due to their limited proficiency in the Korean language. This language barrier led to challenges in communication outside of school and restricted their ability to fully enjoy Korean culture. In response, the IKSS team offered opportunities for students to learn Korean in an enjoyable way. They organized activities such as learning Hangul consonants and vowels through hands-on experiences, where students could practice writing their names on bookmarks. Additionally, the team produced and uploaded practical Korean language video content covering useful expressions like 'buying products at a convenience store' and 'asking for directions.' This allowed students to directly experience and internalize Korean culture by applying the phrases and words they learned through cultural activities.

The K-Connectors, operated by the Korean Studies Dissemination Research Center at Inha University's Institute of International Relations, are a public diplomacy group committed to promoting Korean studies through various activities. Among the ten active teams, the 'Gongmuwon' team conducted the 'Dive into Korea' project in July and August, aiming to enhance international students' deep understanding and positive perception of Korean studies through diverse experiences related to Korea. Before officially launching the project, the Gongmuwon team conducted a survey to identify the challenges faced by international students in Korea. Team leader Son Dahyun (majoring in Political Science and International Relationship) noted that the biggest issues were adapting to Korean culture and the lack of interaction with Koreans. She mentioned that international students were eager for projects that would allow them to experience and understand Korean culture. The Dive into Korea project included an orientation session where the team provided an overview of Korean studies and promoted the K-MOOC (Korean Massive Open Online Course) managed by the Korean Studies Dissemination Research Center. Cultural experiences were also part of the project, such as visiting a traditional folk village to explore traditional culture and participating in traditional games in Insadong. After the activities concluded, the Gongmuwon team conducted a satisfaction survey among the participating international students to assess the project's impact on their perception of Korean studies. The survey results indicated that the project had positively influenced international students' perceptions of Korea, as many expressed a desire to engage in more activities exploring Korean society and culture, and to build personal networks with Koreans.

K-Connectors 13 days ago Inha University's K-Connectors 'KTC' Team Conducts Incheon Promotion Project
The K-Connectors, operated by the Korean Studies Dissemination Research Center at Inha University's Institute of International Relations, aim to spread Korean studies through various activities as a public diplomacy group. Among the ten active teams, the 'KTC (Korea to Connect)' team carried out a project in August to promote Incheon. The project targeted foreign tourists visiting Seoul and was conducted in the Myeongdong area. Team leader Lee Chaeyeon (majoring in Political Science and International Relationship,) pointed out that Korea's essence is not limited to Seoul. She argued that focusing only on Seoul in promotions deprives foreign tourists of the opportunity to experience diverse cultures and wastes Incheon's tourism potential. Lee also mentioned the shortcomings of existing brochures, which often lack sufficient explanations in foreign languages compared to Korean. To address these issues, the KTC team created and distributed their own tourism guidebook. The front side of the guide featured a map of Incheon with important tourist spots marked using pictograms. The back side provided explanations on the history, culture, background, and origins of six selected tourist sites in Incheon. The KTC team reported that they distributed the Incheon tourist maps and provided explanations to over 100 foreign tourists while conducting the Incheon promotion project directly in Myeongdong. Foreign participants in the project mentioned that they were able to grasp the significant historical and cultural context of Incheon in a short period and expressed increased interest in visiting Incheon.
