During the past two weeks in Seoul and five days in Jeju, the program exposed me to South Korean cultural practices and language with the intent of developing my cultural competence. As for me, the biggest gain from this program is multicultural understanding. I explored different aspects of the South Korean culture, language, and education. Studying at SNUE gave me a brand new experience that is totally different from U.S. university. It helped me examine the historical background of Korean education and its impact on current social, political and educational policies. In addition, I enjoyed visiting and observing historical sites, especially Jeju because it provides me a chance to watch the beautiful views and feel the different culture by my eyes.
