Three months after the presidential inauguration, several polls showed that the support rates of President Lee Myung Bak were less than 30%. Given the landslide victory in the presidential election, the low support rate for Lee is rather shocking. Citizens who had voted for Lee in the presidential election started complaining about his policy stances and attitude. In particular, Korean people and the mass media are seized with panic about mad cow disease. Lee was criticized for giving away quarantine sovereignty to the US and endangering public life. Lee seems to be loosing trust from the gene

Keimyung University has a lot of education programs for English to help students receive high quality education in English and a good command of English. As an example, the International Education Center started to teach middle and high school English teachers from 2005 through the Keimyung "Intensive Teacher Training Program" for teachers of English. To apply for this program, a certificate of teaching English is required. In the case of this semester, sixty four trainees are participating in this program.

The Gazette interviewed Lee Bo-young, one of the famous English educators in Korea, and asked about the recent high interest in English-immersion, and also asked her for some advice for university students studying English to prepare for their future.

How effective is TESOL in relation to becoming a TEE teacher? A: First, TESOL (Teaching of English to Speakers of Other Lan
“Who are you wearing?” This question is often heard being yelled at celebrities – movie stars, singers, or people who are famous simply for being famous – when they attend awards ceremonies, movie premieres, or other gala festivities for the famous. The celebrities will dutifully reveal the names of the designers: Ralph Lauren, Vera Wang, Andre Kim, Donna Karan.

The email I received from Ben last November took me completely by surprise. A rather nice surprise since I had only seen Ben once since we were kids and that was on his 21st birthday. I don’t remember much about that night if truth be told; 21st birthday parties tend to be like that. My last clear memory of Ben is of he looked aged 12 in 1984 when his parents moved him to far away Melbourne to a school for “troubled boys.” I wouldn’t describe him as a troubled boy, at least not from the perspective of one his mates. The phrase “troubled boy” implies meanness or naughtiness, but even though Ben
In a little musical instrument shop in Ireland, a woman playing piano and a man playing guitar sing songs. They don’t know each other, but they share two things very certainly: they love music and can play a musical instrument. They make beautiful harmonies even though there are no people listening to their music. Later, the woman and the man meet again and they pour all their energies into making a recording in a small recording booth for their first album. Those two moving scenes are from the movie Once, which I saw on November 3. A few days later, when the deep impression of Once had faded,
Keimyung University has tried to make an environment to help students study better and has implemented various systems to assist student self-study outside regular classes. Do you know what programs our university offers students to assist with their self-study? I examined how our university and each department have supported the many programs for student self-study.
