June 18 Topic: In Tandem: Foreign English Teachers Representing and Witnessing Cultural Diversity in Korea Speaker: Leah Kabigting Sicat (Fulbright English Teaching Assistant Grantee at Changpyeong High School) Korea is becoming increasingly diverse. With changes in the Korean education system and its English language education curriculum, there are more English teachers from various countries in Korea. More foreigners are immigrating to Korea as factory workers, college students, and immigrant brides. Transnational families with mothers and children living abroad and multicultural households with Southeast Asian mothers and mixed heritage children reflect the changing landscape of the Korean classroom and an ethnically heterogeneous society. This Talk will present an American English conversation teacher’s perspective on how foreign English teachers – as a diverse group - are witnessing a critical point in Korean society and will provide suggestions on how they must therefore find new ways to grapple with Korea's burgeoning multiculturalism.
