A comprehensive seminar focusing on Korean language education and research took place at Sapienza University of Rome on Wednesday, October 29. The academic event brought together professors, authors, and Korean language specialists to discuss innovative approaches to teaching Korean to Italian students.
The seminar was organized through a collaborative partnership between three major institutions: the Korean Cultural Center in Italy, Sapienza University of Rome, and the National Library of Korea. This tri-institutional cooperation demonstrates the growing international commitment to advancing Korean language education in Europe.
The event's primary focus centered on the presentation of Korean language textbooks specifically written in Italian for local students. These educational materials were designed to serve both current students pursuing Korean language studies and those planning to embark on academic careers in Korean language and culture. The textbooks represent a significant step forward in making Korean language learning more accessible to Italian-speaking students.
Several distinguished professors and authors participated as presenters during the seminar, sharing their expertise and research findings with attendees. The presentations covered various aspects of Korean language pedagogy, including effective teaching methodologies, cultural integration in language learning, and academic career development opportunities in Korean studies.
The seminar represents part of the broader international effort by Korean Cultural Centers worldwide to promote Korean language education and cultural understanding. Such events play a crucial role in expanding the global reach of Korean language studies and fostering academic collaboration between Korean and international institutions.
