CSU teacher education students head to South Korea

1 JANUARY 2003

Seven Charles Sturt University (CSU) primary education students will participate in a three week program at Hannam University, South Korea in June and July. The students will study Korean language and culture before spending a week in a Korean primary school assisting in teaching English. Alex Elibank-Murray, professional experience liaison officer within the CSU School of Teacher Education (SOTE) said, “We hope their experience will be positive so we can continue to offer this to other CSU students.” Peter Bryson, a fourth year primary student, is looking forward to travelling to Asia for the first time. “I’ve been to North and Central America, but I wanted to put myself in a position where I didn’t speak the local language, so I can experience what it’s like for someone to come into my classroom who doesn’t speak English. It will be challenging and exciting.” Nikita Mulder (second year primary) said, “I’ve never been overseas. When I saw this it seemed like a really good opportunity. I’m really looking forward to it.”
