Purpose : The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the overseas volunteer activities of university students on changes in global citizenship. Methods : This study was conducted as a one-group pre-posttest design. The study's subjects were students who participated in the 37th World Friends Korea Youth Volunteer Corps in 2018. Among them, 158 students who completed the survey were included in the analysis. The tool for measuring global citizenship was comprised of knowledge, skill, attitude, and willingness to practice. The data were analyzed using the SPSS 26.0 program, and the statistical significance was set to p<.05. Results : Among the study's participants, there were 123 females (77.85 %). By grade, there were the most juniors, with 68 (43.04 %). There were 53 (33.55 %) seniors, 28 (18.35 %) sophomores, and eight freshmen (5.06 %). Among all participants, 52.53 % had experience in global citizenship education, and 63.92 % had experience in activities related to global citizenship. Because of analyzing the changes in global citizenship before and after overseas volunteer activities, "skill" increased the most, from 3.51±.65 points to 4.34±.56 points (p< .001). Due to analyzing changes in global citizenship before and after overseas volunteerism, the knowledge and attitude of freshmen were statistically significantly positive, with 1.17± 1.23 (p=.011) and 1.41±1.22 (p=.008), respectively. Participants with global citizenship experience had a significant change in attitude (p=.018). Conclusion : It was confirmed that the overseas volunteer activities of undergraduate students in the university brought a positive change to global citizenship. Providing opportunities for global citizenship education and activities in elementary, middle, and high schools in the future will maximize the effects of overseas volunteer activities to improve global citizenship.

In an attempt to shed light on the effects of overseas internships on foreign language development, this study investigated the differences in English compositions written by 10 Korean university students who joined an overseas internship program for 15 weeks. For data collection, the participants each wrote an English composition before and after the internship. Data collected was analyzed to discern differences in the two writings, and statistical analyses were carried out of the results. Results showed that the participants appeared to have attained lexical fluency, generating longer sentences embedded with multisyllabic, more diverse types, more complex and less redundant words in more complicated structures after the internship. This study revealed that overseas internships facilitated the growth of linguistic abilities. Korean SMEs need to enhance the global capacity of their human resources via overseas internships to strengthen their global competitiveness, apart from improving their industrial competencies such as productivity and product quality.

This study aims to discuss the basic foundations to set levels and language skills for developing a Korean Proficiency Test for young and adolescent learners. Recently, there has been an increase in demand regarding young and adolescent learners from multicultural and overseas backgrounds. However, the current Korean Proficiency Test lacks the appropriate means to determine the Korean proficiency of young and adolescent learners with general purposes of language learning. Therefore, there is an urgent need for developing a specialized and new form of language assessment for young and adolescent learners who are exposed to a foreign language or a second language learning environment. The study examines and analyzes cases of foreign language examinations for young & adolescent learners; furthermore, the objectives and target were set based on the results of a needs analysis and in-depth interviews conducted among teachers and education officials in overseas Korean Hangeul Schools, international schools, elementary and secondary schools. Finally, the levels and language skills appropriate for the objectives of a proficiency test and target learners have been suggested.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the degree of perceptional change of career education through overseas training of specialized high school teachers who take the leading role in applying Korean vocational education to reality. To accomplish this purpose, the following method were employed: 25 specialized department teachers of Keyngido educational institute who visited career education institute in USA and Canada were selected, and pretest and posttest were taken. Collected data were analyzed by Windows Korean version SPSS 14.0. M, SD, t-test and significant level p<.05 were employed for statistical analysis. The result of this research was as follows: There was significant difference in the degree of perceptional change of vocational education by overseas training of specialized high school teachers. But There was no significant differences in the management of vocational education curriculum(${\alpha}=.327$), reinforcement of preparatory training for technique contest(${\alpha}=.327$) in the statistical significant level(p<.05). The perception level of the trainees varied respectively in these domains. And means of posttest were relatively low in the comparison with those of pretest in the domains of visit of educational institute, educational facilities, scholarship and financial support, and reinforcement of preparatory training for technique contest. It is attributed to the Korea's uniqueness of culture, emotion, school system, educational facilities and financial support different from U.S.A. and Canada. The vocational education program of vocational education training institute in U.S.A. and Canada is mainly composed of industrial department, so there was no statistical significant difference(p<.05) in some questions taken by subjects of agricultural and commercial department. In conclusion, The overseas training program is very helpful for the perceptional change of vocational education and it is desirable to be expanded continuously.

This paper seeks to use case studies of training programs for teachers at US K-12 schools to provide a model for developing training programs in South Korea for Korean language teachers overseas, and to consider directions for the future. Toward the end, we review examples of professional development programs for Korean language instructors at US K-12 schools that we have developed and conducted between 2011 and 2016. By comparing these programs with the results of post-program assessments, we explore ways of improving those programs. To respect teachers' wishes, these training programs have attempted to strike a balance between cultural and linguistic education while focusing more on workshops, debates, and field trips than on theoretical lectures. The difficulty of operating such programs is the difference in the teachers' individual circumstances and educational context, which necessitates giving teachers an opportunity to discuss the content of the program and find ways to apply it to their own circumstances. To resolve such difficulties, the training programs that we develop should avoid predetermined curriculums and should not be focused on simple drills or the trainer. Instead, these programs should take the approach of proactively incorporating contents desired by the participating teachers by starting with the situations, needs, and tasks of each of those teachers.

From responses to individual written survey questionnaires answered by 439 students who are studying Dental technology at colleges in Kyung-ki and Chung-cheong. The following are the results regarding their satisfaction levels with their majors and their interest in working abroad: 1. Regarding the motivating factors to major in Dental technology, students(37.7%), particularly most juniors(43.5%), have chosen this major to get a this professional job. The most common source of information in choosing majors is the Internet(44.4%). There was a slight difference in their knowledge about the major before college among freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. 2. Most students do not want to change their majors even if they are provided with the chance to do so(69.2%). They are in general satisfied with their studies. The result shows that the Dental technology majors are positive toward their major. 3. Many students have heard about overseas employment, particularly in case of juniors(98.5%), and there was a difference among different years of studies. They want to work abroad if they are given the chances(79.3%), which indicates that the Dental Technology majors have much interest and positive attitude in overseas employment. 4. The most significant barrier to their overseas employment is the language, and thus the Dental technology majors should improve their language abilities to be more involved in working abroad.
