Every summer, students from all over the world participate, and I am positive this serves to boost SNU's international ranking. The summer program for me is refreshing since I get the opportunity to teach students highly proficient in English. While my international students (typically as exchange students) are increasing in number, the number of the academic year international students does not compete with the number of summer program student participants. Add to that, many of these students come to Korea super excited to be here--they are ready to learn and don't think things like, for example, field trips are hokey. The summer program, for most, is a an experience in which they desire to participate. As a teacher, this is very refreshing.</span></p><p style="border:0; padding:0; margin:0; font-family:'굴림'; font-size:10pt; cursor: text;"><br></p><p style="border:0; padding:0; margin:0; font-family:'굴림'; font-size:10pt; cursor: text;">Regarding benefits for faculty coming from abroad, the majority of people who come from abroad to teach in the SNU program (some of whom are on this list) seem to participate because it provides them airfare and accommodation in Korea for a period of time. The teaching time is not demanding (my class is two credits and I only teach 2 mornings a week; 3 credit classes require 3x a week) and the pay is really, really good. If you focus research on Korea, it is a perfect opportunity to do some research as well as make a good bit of money. From the SNU side, it appears the desire to invite faculty from abroad is perhaps only slightly based on increasing global networks and really concertedly focused on raising the university's global status.</p><p style="border:0; padding:0; margin:0; font-family:'굴림'; font-size:10pt; cursor: text;"><br></p><p style="border:0; padding:0; margin:0; font-family:'굴림'; font-size:10pt; cursor: text;">I will say, however, that the majority of faculty in the SNU summer program appear to be home-based; that is, SNU full-time faculty. This makes the SNU program a bit different from other summer programs.</p><p style="border:0; padding:0; margin:0; font-family:'굴림'; font-size:10pt; cursor: text;"><br></p><p style="border:0; padding:0; margin:0; font-family:'굴림'; font-size:10pt; cursor: text;">From my own experience, there are no apparent cons. You may consider teaching during the summer 'break' a con, but other than that, I really don't see any. Every program is different, but in my experience teaching at SNU and, earlier, at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (외대) I've found teaching summer an enjoyable experience and certainly worth my time.</p><p style="border:0; padding:0; margin:0; font-family:'굴림'; font-size:10pt; cursor: text;"><br></p><p style="border:0; padding:0; margin:0; font-family:'굴림'; font-size:10pt; cursor: text;">새해 복 많이 받으세요~</p><p style="border:0; padding:0; margin:0; font-family:'굴림'; font-size:10pt; cursor: text;"><br></p><p style="border:0; padding:0; margin:0; font-family:'굴림'; font-size:10pt; cursor: text;">Hilary Finchum-Sung</p><p style="border:0; padding:0; margin:0; font-family:'굴림'; font-size:10pt; cursor: text;"><br></p><p style="border:0; padding:0; margin:0; font-family:'굴림'; font-size:10pt; cursor: text;"><br></p><div>Associate Professor</div>

Each course should have generated enough interest that a minimum of 10 students are enrolled by 19th May, 2014, however if this is not the case we will need to discuss further the feasibility of its running. As soon as the number of students exceeds 10, I will send you a confirmation letter. </span></div>
