Start to research your summer plans for Korea! Talk it over with your family over the Thanksgiving or Winter Break. The 2015 Harvard Summer School in Seoul Program online application is due: Thursday, January 29, 2015 .
Visit the Harvard Summer School Website: http://www.summer.harvard.edu/programs/study-abroad/seoul-korea for all the details and the online application. (Application goes live on December 1st.)
Dates for the Program are: Mon. June 22 - Sat. Aug 15, 2015 (8 weeks). The Harvard Summer School in Korea Program is open to college undergraduates, usually rising sophomores, juniors in good standing. The theme in 2015 is Documentary Filmmaking, Sociology and Learning Korean Language!
In 2015, Cinema Korea: Documenting Korean Society Through Film VISU S-193 (32945) will be offered. For the most up to date information on this course, please see: http://www.summer.harvard.edu/programs/study-abroad/seoul-korea. This course combines a critical and practical introduction to filmmaking, interweaving the close study of films about Korean society with basic training in the essential stages of film production. It examines Korea’s contemporary place in the world through the lens of sociology combined with the critical study of seminal films along with practical training in documentary filmmaking. Students will create films engaging and expanding the larger themes explored in class screenings, readings and during a series of visits to major cultural and historic sites across Korea. AV equipment and editing software are provided, and students need not have any prior experience with either film or Korean language. In addition to the course on Korean film, students will study Korean language for credit. Multi-track instruction in Korean language [KORE S-Ba, KORE S-120a, KORE S-130a, KORE S-140-a and KORE S-150a] reinforces language skills and enriches students’ understanding of Korean culture.
Another unique feature of this intensive, team centered study abroad program in the dynamic city of Seoul, is the inclusion of an approximately equal number of Korean students from local universities in Seoul. Contact with Korean counterparts in class and in the dormitory offers a far deeper immersion experience and a direct avenue to life in Seoul as a college student.
