The Dean of the School of
Foreign Languages (SFL) Professor Yousef Abu Amrieh met on Tuesday 3/11/2020 the
head of the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) office in Amman Hyo
Jin Kim in the presence of Vice Dean Dr. Dima Ammari and Assistant Dean for
International Relations & Community Service Mrs. Israa Al-Mobaideen.
Discussions
covered ways to develop bilateral cooperation, especially in terms of providing
more volunteers to teach the Korean language, providing SFL’s classrooms with
the necessary equipment that contribute to enriching the students’ leaning
experience. Discussions also covered the possibility of KOICA supporting a
Korean language radio program that the SFL seeks to air
on the University of Jordan Radio in addition to many topics that will serve the
school and the university alike.
It is worth mentioning
that the cooperation between the SFL and KOICA dates back to more than a
decade since the establishment of the Korean Language program in the Department
of Asian Languages. This cooperation has led to positive results on students’ performance
and their acquisition of the Korean language.
