This introductory course provides an overview of detailed majors in pedagogy as a full-fledged preparation stage for teaching. It explores the overall knowledge of pedagogy as an instrumental knowledge of educational reality issues. Through this, it is expected that students will be able to form an integrated and organic perspective on education and pedagogy. The class focuses on problems discovered by educational philosophy, history, educational sociology, educational anthropology, educational psychology, curriculum, educational evaluation, educational administration, educational engineering, and educational counseling.

Through an integrated curriculum of vocabulary, grammar, speaking, listening, writing, and reading, this course enables students to: 

1) To read and write Hangul;

2) To pronounce vowels, consonants clearly and understand Korean pronunciation system through fundamental change of sounds; 

3) To understand the fundamental rules of sentence structure and syntax in Korean; and, 

4) To have basic conversations in Korean, including greetings, self-introductions, ordering food, daily activities, etc. 

This course aims to allow exchange/foreign students studying at Yonsei University to learn about Korean food and culture by exploring, experiencing, and enjoying them either firsthand or indirectly through related lectures, discussions, and research in addition to personal food experiences when it comes to Korean cuisine. It takes enrolled students on an enjoyable but also serious journey encompassing the history of Korea from the past to the present related to its food and culture and cover a wide variety of contents to offer a comprehensive understanding of K-food and K-culture. Students are encouraged to conduct original individual research and actively participate in class discussions to share their knowledge and experience with their peers.

Brain, Cognition, and Daily Life (BC&DL), formerly known as Culture and Cognition, provides students with an opportunity to learn human cognition and information processes operated in our daily life. The course covers a wide range of cognition such as perception, attention, memory, problem solving, and language and its applications to our daily life in the context of human neuroscience. In other words, students learn important concepts and issues regarding human cognition and brain and how they are operated in our living. The course focuses on how our cognition and brain are influenced by, changes in, or interacts with our living contexts.
