;Email assignment:
 
−
In this assignment, you will email me and answer a few questions. See the section in the book on writing emails. The general format and structure can be more formal, but the contents of the body paragraph can be more semi-formal (including first and second person pronouns). Your subject line should include your name, ID#, and maybe a brief subject. For the contents of your email, about 1-2 paragraphs will suffice. This will be worth 20 points. Be sure to send your email to at least two of my email accounts simultaneously, to avoid emails getting lost (and that helps my email filters to put it in the right folder). You do not (and should not) try to cover all of these questions; I would suggest that you pick 2-3 of these questions to address in your email.

# Briefly tell me about yourself: where you are from, why you chose your major, and your future plans.

# Why are you taking this course? What do you hope to get out of it? What do you expect from this course? Or, what would you like to learn, or what would you like to improve in this course?
 
−
# Tell me about your English learning experiences. What things have you found to be actually helpful and useful in learning English (habits, practices, experiences, reading materials, media materials, etc.)? What things have been unhelpful or adverse? How do you feel toward English? Do you personally like it or find it useful, or do you feel negative about it? What experiences have made you feel that way? How important is English for your future?

# Tell me about your experiences learning another language (and various aspects like those mentioned in the previous item).

A few sample case studies will be made available via the LMS or Google Form. Then discuss the following.
 +
# The study: Which case study / studies did you pick? (You can simply write the title[s] below for the samples that I've provided; if you find you own sample, please provide bibliographic info and/or a URL.)

 +
#Data & analysis: What kind of data did they use for their main analysis? How did they analyze the data?
 +
#Findings: What were their findings? Do you think their findings are reliable, interesting, useful, or relevant?
 +
# Comparison: How does your case study differ from those that your group members / classmates looked at, e.g., in organization, sources, data, types of analysis & findings, etc.? (If upu are not able to discuss this with a classmate, then you can look at case studies from two very different fields and compare them.)

;1a. Academic research project:
−
This is for those who wish to undertake a special research project in their senior year of college, or in a Master’s program. The senior research project involves an original research project in a special studies course under the direction of a professor, and this will lead to a full-length paper (or bachelor’s thesis) for the course. The Master’s project will be directed by the student’s academic advisor / professor, and this will of course lead to the standard Master’s thesis [석사논문] that is a typical requirement for an M.A. degree (in a humanities or social science field) or an M.S. degree (in science and engineering fields). You can write this to apply for a grant from your university, or it can be addressed to the Foundation.

This would be an idea for an original, final research paper, or for a special research project that you might want to undertake someday. For a case study, you can focus on a literature topic (e.g., a famous writer, and an aspect of his/her life or work), or a case study of a specific academic department, program, university, school, etc. Another option would be an education and pedagogy topic (e.g., a case study of students in a very specific learning situation); note: for this, you need training or experience in collecting and analyzing qualitative data.

This is for those who wish to undertake a research project in their senior year of college, or in a Master’s program, on a business related topic. The general requirements are the same as for the academic research project. The topic would be academic research on a business related topic, including marketing, finance, a case study of a business, or other original research. This would be for a bachelor's program in business or related fields, or an MBA (master's of business administration) or similar MA degree.

You can apply to the Foundation, or to a local or national government.
