• Listening and speaking practice through games, role-plays, and short dialogues
• Reading and writing basics (labels, simple words/phrases using Hangul, as appropriate)
• Cultural connections (Korea’s geography, traditions, food, music, and daily life)
• Age-appropriate cultural projects and presentations

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver a 10-session course with clear objectives and engaging, interactive instruction
• Use routines and activities that prioritize student speaking and listening practice
• Differentiate instruction to support varying levels of experience and language confidence
• Maintain a safe, inclusive learning environment aligned with site policies and expectations
• Communicate professionally with site staff and Concorde program contacts regarding attendance and session completion tracking
