Get ready to go to Korea !

Step 1 
 

1. Keep a diary 7 times as you live in Korea.

You need to keep a diary as you stay in Korea for a week.

Doing this, you will find information about Korea and places that you want to visit in Korea.

Just imagine that you are already in Korea.

2. To get information easily, you will make a groups of 4 and share your ideas about Korea.

Your group should brainstorm together.

Imagine what would happen in Korea and what difficulties you would come across when you are in Korea.
Write down your opinions and thoughts about it.

Your diary should include your daily life experience, studies and job.

Here are some suggestions you can think about:

1) You can think about whether you have any difficulties dealing with the local people and the culture shock.

2) What will happen when you're in Korea?  Your diary may involve accommodation, food, weather and so on. 

3) You can also make a contrast between your life in your home town and in Korea.

4) If you want to get a part-time job, think about what you will do and what will happen to you.

5) Is it easy to find a job some where you're not familiar with?

6) Do you know what kind of visa is allowed to find a part-time job?

7) Will you get used to the working style in Korea? What problems will happen? What difficulties will you come across?

       on account of sex, religion, or social status[the Korean Constitution, Article11].

     • The calculation of the seniority of a worker is limited to the same business entity
