In this course, students apply their Korean language skills in supervised academic internship placements across education, nonprofit, business, and cultural sectors. Through structured opportunities to use Korean in real-world workplace settings, students develop practical and sector-specific vocabulary, enhance intercultural communication skills, and build professional networks. Students complete 35-40 hours of placement work with a partnering organization, such as local high schools, community organizations, or Korean businesses, in addition to in-class seminars, readings, and assignments. They engage in workplace communication scenarios such as outreach, project coordination, teaching support, or cultural programming. Seminars emphasize goal-setting, professional skills, networking, teamwork, and critical reflection. Students produce a final capstone portfolio and presentation. This course integrates linguistic, professional, and intercultural competencies, culminating in a meaningful, high-impact experiential learning experience. Not eligible for CR/NCR.
