Summary:///

Professors Salerno and Margolies will each give a 15-20 minute 
presentation on their experiences teaching American History in Korea.  
Professor Salerno will focus on pedagogy (the science of teaching), 
since Korean Universities have very different teaching styles, student 
and faculty expectations, and course goals than in American 
Universities.  She will briefly discuss course content in relation to 
these issues.  Professor Margolies will focus more directly on the 
question of content, considering which historical narrative to choose, 
which historical schools to emphasize, and how to acquaint students with 
the context we can take for granted in the United States.  The speakers 
are expecting a lively discussion with the audience about how and what 
to teach Korean students about American history.
