Overview of the Project:
The purpose of this grant is to fund the printing of an Anthology of FanFiction authored by students in the third year Korean language course. This project, underway this Winter 2016 semester, is motivating third-year Korean language learners to be engaged in writing and simultaneously enhancing the four elements of language learning: speaking, reading, writing (grammar knowledge), and listening. In particular, the element of writing in a second language acquisition is known to be the most challenging for language learners to improve in a set time frame. Within this limited condition, this research-proven project provides the following opportunities to our learners: motivation, authenticity, multimodal literacy, balanced language learning, and real publication.
