Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review 1) The first session will focus on preparing students for the field visit. Students will watch a documentary about a Korean school in Japan to develop a more multifaceted understanding of the school context prior to the visit. Following the screening, students will have an opportunity to discuss the film and ask questions. This preparatory session will also include a general course orientation and guidance for the fieldwork activities.
2) A lecture will be given by a school graduate, providing background knowledge on the history and context of Korean ethnic schools in Japan. Students will then participate in fieldwork at an ethnic school in Hiroshima to observe teaching and learning practices. After the observations, students will engage in guided discussions to reflect on their experiences and discuss the lecture and preparatory materials.
3) The session will conclude with structured discussions, student presentations, and reflective activities aimed at synthesizing the learning from the fieldwork and connecting it with broader themes of intercultural understanding and education.
