[KS] Teaching English in Korea

[sethmj at jmu.edu]

Do people have any recommendations for U.S. college students who would like to teach English in Korea?  I am looking for information about reliable programs I could comfortably suggest to interested students.

Thanks,

Michael Seth

>deliveries of food aid from China -- was a spy. 
>So for more than 40 days, Kim languished in a  North Korean prison. An

>North Korea for the dedication of the first  privately funded university ever 
>allowed in the Democratic People's Republic of  Korea: the Pyongyang 
>University of Science and Technology (PUST). 
>The school will have an international faculty  educating, eventually, 
>around 600 graduate students. Kim dreams ultimately of  hosting an industrial 
>park around the PUST campus, drawing firms from around the  world -- a North 
>Korean version, as bizarre as it sounds, of Palo Alto or  Boston's Route 128. 
>There will be Internet access for all,  connecting the students to an 
>outside world that they've heretofore been  instructed is a hostile and dangerous 
>place. And among the six departments will  be a school of industrial 
>management. 
>"We ended up not calling it an 'MBA program,'"  jokes David Kim (no 
>relation to James), a former Bechtel and Pacific Gas &  Electric executive who has 
>relocated to Pyongyang to help set up PUST, "because  they [the North 
>Koreans] think it sounds vaguely imperialistic." 
>That the North Koreans are permitting this to  happen -- that they have 
>given James Kim the nod to create his university, just  as he intended -- is 
>remarkable. 
>It's hard for outsiders to understand just how  backward, isolated, and

>Ben Rosen, the venture capitalist who co-founded  Compaq Computer in 1982, 
>befriended Kim last year on a visit to Pyongyang with  the New York 
>Philharmonic Orchestra. After touring the 248-acre campus with Kim  as it was under 
>construction, Rosen became a believer. The university, he says,  will give 
>students "a window to the outside world and will create a new  generation of 
>technocrats with the potential to lead a post-Kim Jong Il  government." 
>The man behind this masterstroke of  international relations consciously 
>creates a bit of an air of mystery around  himself. Ask him two very basic 
>questions -- how old are you, and where were you  born -- and Kim (whose Korean 
>given name is Chin-Kyung) cheerfully demurs. 
>As for his age (public records in Florida, where  he was a small-business 
>man for more than a decade, say he was born in September  1935), he says it's 
>all in the mind -- a function of your health and your  attitude. "And I am 
>very healthy," he says with a grin. 
>As to where, exactly, he was born, he declines  to say, without much 
>explanation. Kim's father -- himself an educator -- was  very much a product of 
>the tumultuous history of colonization and war that  engulfed Northeast Asia 
>in the first part of the 20th century, and thus very  much on the move. 
>During World War II, Kim's father fled the Japanese occupation  of Korea, 
>escaping to northeast China -- not far from Yanji, where his son's  dreams took 
>shape half a century later. 
>That dream -- to bring Western education to his  countrymen -- first

>Science and Technology (YUST). 
>Twice this summer I met at length with Kim in  Yanji, which abuts the North

>After arriving in America in 1976, he started a  wig business. "In those

>Kim says he came to the U.S. for a  straightforward reason, the same reason

>But money, for him, was always only going to be  a means to an end. "I knew

>Korea -- and do what I wanted to do, it would not only  provide me with some 
>wealth, but a U.S. passport as well. You guys are the Roman  Empire of your 
>day; you can go pretty much wherever you want." 
>His commercial landlord at the time, Frank Webb,  recalls two things about 
>James Kim: that he was a devout Christian, and that he  always talked about 
>setting up schools in China and North Korea. 
>Kim added a clothes store in the 1980s, then  bought a chain of women's

>wife, Grace, who helped him run the  business, were living the American 
>dream: They were recent immigrants who worked  hard and were more than making a 
>go of it. They were prospering. "By the  mid-1980s we had three good 
>businesses," Kim says now. 
>And that's when he decided it was time to get on  with his life's work. 
>Leaving his wife behind in Florida to sell the family  business and join him 
>later, Kim headed for the northeastern part of China,  where his father had 
>been before him. 
>Support from the Christian community
>Of all the nations in Asia where Christianity  has tried to put down roots, 
>Korea has been the most fertile ground. Roughly 20%  of the population is 
>Christian. Westerners who come to Seoul for the first time  are often 
>surprised by the number of neon crosses that glow atop churches in the  city at 
>night. 
>But it is not only South Korea where Christian  missionaries worked 
>successfully to find converts. Long before war divided Korea  at mid-century, 
>Christian missionaries had gone to North Korea. Ruth Graham, the  late wife of 
>evangelist Billy Graham, went to prep school in Pyongyang in the  1920s. 
>Kim is emblematic of just how deep those  Christian roots run in Korea. His 
>father converted to Christianity as a young  man and attended a university 
>in Pyongyang started by Presbyterian missionaries  in 1897. 
>He was running a Christian school near Busan, in  the South, when he fled 
>the Japanese occupation "rather than bow to Shinto  gods," as Kim now says. 
>In 1939 his father went to Heilongjiang province in  northeastern China, 
>where he opened another school for girls; he returned to  South Korea in 1945, 
>with the defeat of Imperial Japan. 
>When James was 15 years old, he tried to enlist  in the army as the Korean 
>War broke out, but a recruiter first turned him away  as too young. "I cut 
>my finger and wrote in blood, 'I love my country,'" so the  recruiter changed 
>his mind and accepted him. He joined an army unit of 800, and  by 1952 only 
>17 remained. The rest had been killed. 
>Until that point, Kim had not himself been  particularly religious. He had 
>watched his grandfather "persecute" his father  for his conversion to 
>Christianity. But on the battlefield one night, Kim read  from the Gospel of St. 
>John, which had been passed out by a U.S. Army chaplain  to the troops who 
>remained. Having watched so much of his unit get wiped out, it  was verse 3:16 
>that spoke to him: "That whosoever shall believe in Him should  not perish, 
>but have everlasting life." 
>Then and there, says Kim, "I vowed to God to  work with the Chinese and the 
>North Koreans -- then our enemies. I would devote  my life to it, if I 
>survived the war." 
>For Kim, this was not a convenient "atheist in a  foxhole" moment: He 
>studied his newfound faith assiduously. In the early '70s  Kim traveled to 
>Europe, where he attended a school set up in Switzerland by an  esteemed American 
>evangelist, Francis Schaffer. He then went to England to study  at an 
>evangelical seminary before returning to Seoul in 1972. 
>His plan upon arriving in China was to follow in  his father's footsteps 
>and to do sort of a dry run for his ultimate goal:  setting up a university in 
>Pyongyang. Using some of the money he had made from  selling his small 
>businesses in the U.S., and then raising money from private  donors -- drawing 
>heavily on the evangelical Christian community in South Korea  and abroad -- 
>Kim in 1992 began YUST. 
>To date, more than 90% of the graduates get  jobs, and South Korean 
>companies operating in China are particularly aggressive  in hiring its students. 
>"They just line up to recruit them," says Malcolm  Gillis, the former 
>president of Rice University who is on the board of PUST. 
>Kim and his wife now live in faculty housing, in  a small two-bedroom 
>apartment. Though not officially a Christian school, which  would be illegal in 
>China, both the faculty and the students tend to be drawn  from the devout. 
>Many faculty members go without pay (as some will in  Pyongyang). And the 
>provincial government allows YUST to have a chapel on campus  accessible only 
>to university-affiliated personnel. 
>"There was a lot of suspicion from the  [government] at first," Kim 
>concedes. "But as the school has grown we've shown  them that we are not in any way 
>a threat to them." Left unstated is the obvious:  that the small school on 
>the North Korean border was Kim's model for his  Pyongyang project. 
>He had two challenges: funding it and getting  the North Korean government 
>to agree to it. Kim's deep roots in the South Korean  Christian community 
>have given him a lot of contacts among Seoul's corporate and  educational 
>elite. He has the presidents of two prestigious Korean universities  on PUST's 
>board of directors, and on a recent weekend in Yanji, Kim had two  senior 
>executives, including vice chairman Heon-Cheol Shin from South Korea's  biggest 
>oil company, SK Energy, visiting him to check on the progress of the  
>Pyongyang project. 
>Kim has the energy of someone half his age --  and he never stops plumping 
>for the university. Venture capitalist Rosen recalls  that on his tour of 
>the campus in Pyongyang early last year Kim kept pushing him  to join his 
>board of directors. At one point he pointed to one of the buildings  under 
>construction and joked, "Look, Ben, there's your new office!" (My wife,  Rosen 
>jokes, "just about died.") 
>North Korea, not surprisingly, is the object of  intense passion among the 
>evangelical Christian community in the South. 
>South Korean churches have done much good work  publicizing human rights 
>abuses in the North -- to Pyongyang's intense  displeasure -- but they have 
>also raised funds for food aid and helped  distribute it via a variety of 
>networks. But to say that a good portion of the  evangelical community in the 
>South -- and indeed worldwide -- is hostile to the  Kim Jong Il government is 
>to state the obvious. 
>It is into this diplomatic minefield that Kim  has stepped. "If you had 
>told me that [Kim] was going to raise money from  evangelical churches 
>worldwide to help fund a new university in Pyongyang, and  that he'd get the North 
>Korean government to go along with it, I'd have told you  that you were 
>nuts," says a state department official. "Remember, in 1998 Kim  Jong Il had him 
>held in detention." 
>That fact does raise questions. Ask him how he  has been able to pull this 
>project off, and Kim says, "I have unlimited credit  at the Bank of Heaven." 
>The suspicion, voiced by some skeptics in Seoul and  elsewhere, is that he 
>also must have had to make a pretty hefty deposit at the  Bank of Kim Jong 
>Il. 
>To the extent that any business gets done in  North Korea, the piper has to 
>be paid, foreign businessmen and diplomats say.  "I'd find it hard to 
>believe otherwise," one Seoul-based executive who has done  business in the North 
>says, "but who knows?" 
>Asked directly whether any of the roughly $10  million he raised to fund 
>PUST has gone to the regime in Pyongyang, Kim says:  "Every brick we used, 
>every bit of steel, every bit of equipment, we brought in  from China. I have 
>never brought any cash into North Korea." 
>So why did the North Korean government come to  trust him? "When I was 
>detained, I was very calm. I wrote that I was not afraid  to die, because I knew 
>I would go to a better place. And I wrote that if I did  die, I would 
>donate my organs for medical research in North Korea. I told them I  was at pea
>ce." What he heard back, Kim says, is that the Dear Leader was touched  by 
>that sentiment. 
>There are so many horror stories about Kim Jong  Il and the country that he 
>rules that it's hard to know what to make of that.  Suspicions linger that 
>some sort of deal was cut. That somehow Dear Leader Kim  is using University 
>President Kim. Or being paid off by him. Or that Kim has  divided 
>loyalties. 
>There is no evidence that any of that is true,  and Kim Jong Il, despite 
>his recent diplomatic charm offensive, isn't giving  interviews. 
>And for the record, though Kim is excruciatingly  diplomatic in terms of 
>what he says publicly about the regime, Fortune, having  spent a considerable 
>amount of time with Kim and his team in Yanji this summer,  is pretty 
>convinced that his loyalties lie in only one direction -- to the man  upstairs. 
>And by that, we don't mean Kim Jong Il. 
>PUST Board member Gillis believes that Kim's  lack of guile may ultimately 
>be what convinced the North Koreans. "This is a guy  who is doing this for 
>the reasons he says: that it would be a good and helpful  thing for North 
>Korean students to have a modern, international university, with  faculty drawn 
>from abroad. Through many years of hard work, [he's] been able to  convince 
>the government that that's the case. And it has the added benefit of  being 
>true. He's open and transparent. There are no hidden agendas here." 
>With the formal dedication set for Sept. 16 --  Kim and his staff are deep 
>into trying to hire faculty and settle on  nuts-and-bolts issues, like which 
>textbooks will be used in courses that will  begin in a few months. As 
>David Kim, the Bechtel alum, relates, very little of  that stuff is 
>straightforward in North Korea. 
>How, for example, will economics and finance be  taught? While students at

>North Korea, Western economics is not only alien to most citizens  of the 
>Communist state, it is also downright threatening. 
>This is a government whose underlying philosophy  is known as Juche, or  
>self-reliance, and everyone is supposed to be a servant of the Dear Leader. 
>How  you square that with Adam Smith's invisible hand and enlightened 
>self-interest  is not at all obvious. 
>"If we're just going there to teach things the  way they teach them now,
