110 Learning Journal #10

[Jacob Park]

For this week, I will dive deeper into Korean current events by reading and analyzing the Korean newspaper. After reading a newspaper article, I will give a presentation in front of my language partner and my fellow peers in Korean to explain the article. This will allow me work on more professional and presentational speech and reading. Since news articles have to be professionally written, it will not contain any colloquialism. This will help me to understand how formal Korean is written and how to write with no bias in Korean. With all the controversies that are going on in Korea, I believe that I am obligated to keep up with the news and what is currently going on. This can show a glimpse of the Korean history along with the culture of Korea. Through this, not only will I learn how to read and understand Korean, but I will also learn how Korean is used in the professional field.
