- 1. The purpose of the course development This course is related to global initiative competency and practical professional competency among the goals of Yeungnam University’s human resources training. Leaders in the 21st century should combine the skills to achieve industrialisation of human resources, know the importance of ours, and pride themselves on communicating with people around the world in Korean and with Korean culture. Through this course, we will cultivate global leaders with cultural convergence and cultural embracing, and global human resources who can work around the world. 2. Development Overview This is a major elective course in the Department of Global Education. Communication education is added to the know-how of Korean language education, multicultural education, and global citizenship education. To this end, full-time teachers, who are field experts in Korean language education, and adjunct teachers, who are announcers at broadcasting stations, collaborate to let students gain practical skills. Practical team teaching classes are conducted through convergence of specialised areas. As educational content, it mainly deals with purpose-oriented communication, perception and empathy for the speaking partner, generational empathy, and perception of differences between cultures. In addition, students conduct interviews, official greetings, etc. at specific speaking sites, and actually train clear and accurate pronunciation. This process includes dealing with speech anxiety and reflecting on one’s own speech. 3. Expected Effect Through this course, we develop the ability to utilise faithful basic skills and major knowledge as professsionals, and seek opportunities to cross the boundaries of universities and academic fields. As a result, students will experience a ‘major’ subject that has more practicality than the ‘culture’ subject. And through speaking that clearly conveys oneself and coexists with neighbours, students will experience “citizens of the world” beyond the concept of state.
