Writing Books and a Closing Chapter
September in Yongin will be a chance to meet a published Author and to hear from couple KOTESOL veterans who will be sharing their wisdom from years of experience in Korea.
Session 1: "Target Focused Writing - How I Came to Write My First Book"
The focus here is on how Emmanuel came to write my first book and about the challenges he faced. It also highlights the importance of writing and how teachers and students can benefit from writing (teaching, learning, experiencing).

Session 2: “Decolonizing pedagogies: Some practical examples from intercultural educators in Korea”
In response to the increasing internationalization of Korean higher education, questions are arising about how educational professionals should respond creatively and effectively to changing demographics and citizenships in classrooms and universities (Kim & Chun, 2015). Lecturers are increasingly facing the challenge of educating young people from diverse backgrounds — from the global North and the global South. It is important in this changing context that intercultural educators in Korean universities adapt their theoretical and pedagogical approaches to transcend the limitations of the previous generations of multicultural education, human rights, language, peace and citizenship education to approach interculturalism from diverse traditions (Andreotti et al., 2015; Connell, 2007). This workshop will begin with a critical review of the literature and share findings from previous workshops. This will be followed by guided inquiry to collectively re-imagine strategies for decolonizing higher education in Korea today. The strategies in turn will be shared with the KOTESOL community in The Korea TESOL Journal.
