Dear Students, Faculty, and Staff,   I hope you are all safe and healthy as we approach the latter part of the semester.   We still remain at Government Social Distance level 4. Taking various important factors into consideration, we have decided to continue the current mode of instruction for the remainder of the semester.   All of our current Covid-19 restrictions on campus gatherings remain the same. Any changes will be announced when available. Our buildings are open for students to use for individual or small group study sessions. Please follow best practices to protect against Covid-19 as you use the spaces.   As we continue with online classes, please try to maximize your learning experience by interacting with your instructors and teaching assistants through their office hours. The university offices (advising, counseling, academic affairs, student affairs, etc.) are all open as usual, so try to get help as you need it.   We all hope to have 100% in-person classes in Spring 2022 at the latest. Getting vaccinations will help us get there.  So, I encourage you to get vaccinated when you get a chance.   Please stay well and enjoy the rest of the semester.   Sincerely, Arthur H. Lee Provost  

2021 Intensive English Teacher Program (commissioned by East Asia Global Education Institute of Incheon Metropolitan City Office of Education) is taking place online from July 26 to August 6. 12 teachers who are teaching English in Incheon public middle and high schools are participating in this training program. With SUNY Korea DTS Professor Neal Dreamson as the director, the event is hosted by SUNY Korea to train teachers to expand their knowledge base in various areas of English as a second language.   The program explores innovative teaching methods through a mentoring system that is led by three SUNY Korea faculty (Professor Andrew Lasher, Professor Timothy Adam Fletcher, and Professor Joseph Cabuay) and one other professor. The program also offers a series of forums with SUNY Korea international students, CMIS Canada teachers, IGC faculty, and a Myanmar refugee community.Moreover, four special lectures were delivered by three SUNY Korea professors (Professor Sira Maliphol, Professor Clovia Hamilton, and Professor Neal Dreamson) and one other professor.   Throughout the program, the teachers are engaged with critical-pedagogical understanding of learner needs and instructional methods and strategies with the following four approaches: community-based learning, project-based learning, technology-integrated learning, and discussion-based learning.  Furthermore, teachers in groups develop innovative teaching strategies by addressing issues in the 21st century learning skills known as the 4Cs: critical thinking, communication, creativity, and collaboration, and reflecting four learner engagement aspects. The strategies are ensured to be directly applicable to their teaching and used by teaching colleagues with minimum assistance, and they will present the strategies on the last day of the program.
