<p style="margin:0cm"><span lang="EN-AU"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">With its biennial workshop, EAKLE provides a stage for scholars and teachers in the field of Korean language education to discuss and advance methods of teaching Korean that best suit the different students in the various
countries of Europe. The workshop fosters collaboration among scholars and teachers and is also open to researchers on Korean linguistics and Korean literature insofar as their work pertains or can be connected to language education. It will feature presentations
and discussions on a wide range of topics related to the teaching of Korean as a second language. The participants will discuss evergreen topics against the backdrop of new trends and insights gained through recent language education scholarship and experience,
thus getting updates, fresh input and inspiration. We also encourage performances outside the box. Presentations may be “shows of best practice”, involving the audience and demonstrating hands-on solutions for actual challenges encountered in classroom.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Presentation proposals can be submitted in either Korean or English, with a maximum of 300 words in length. The proposals will be evaluated by a council of EAKLE board members and the organizer. Presentations must not
exceed twenty minutes, ten minutes are reserved for discussion. Korean language instructors and Korean language acquisition researchers employed at European universities are the main target of this call. Our call is worldwide nonetheless, as we intend to include
contributions from </span><span lang="EN-US">other parts of the world</span><span lang="EN-US">. We also encourage presentations of graduate students who work on topics pertaining to the areas covered by the EAKLE workshop.
