Course Description
This course is designed to familiarize students with the topic of English translation of Korean films through a selection of movies of the world-renowned Korean director and Yonsei alum Bong Joon-ho. Note that the course is based mainly on movie viewing, individual research, and class discussions in addition to the instructor's lectures. Thus, active participation on the students' part is crucial. This course allows enrolled students to think about the difficulties and sophisticated nature of Korean-English translation for movie subtitles through the examples of Korean films by Director Bong Joon-ho. The course helps observe various problems regarding translation from Korean into English and vice versa through Bong’s films such as 'A Higher Animal (2000)', 'The Host (2006)’, ‘Snowpiercer (2013)’, ‘Okja (2017)’, and ‘Parasite (2019)’. Students are also expected to understand the complicated nature of numerous variables in play when it comes to crossing from one language to another in the world of cinema such as one’s understanding of context, culture, history, and tradition on top of the basic linguistic competency. Through this course, students gain not only confidence in bridging different languages based on a solid control of languages and cultures but also a cosmopolitan outlook as world citizens incorporating diversity, flexibility, and open-mindedness which are indispensable in modern society.

Course Description
The extensive independent study field research paper produced by the student is both the centerpiece of the intern's professional engagement and the culmination of the academic achievements of the semester. During the preparatory session, IFE teaches the methodological guidelines and principles to which students are expected to adhere in the development of their written research. Students work individually with a research advisor from their field. The first task is to identify a topic, following guidelines established by IFE for research topic choice. The subject must be tied in a useful and complementary way to the student-intern's responsibilities, as well as to the core concerns of the host organization. The research question should be designed to draw as much as possible on resources available to the intern via the internship (data, documents, interviews, observations, seminars and the like). Students begin to focus on this project after the first 2-3 weeks on the internship. Each internship agreement signed with an organization makes explicit mention of this program requirement, and this is the culminating element of their semester. Once the topic is identified, students meet individually, as regularly as they wish, with their IFE research advisor to generate a research question from the topic, develop an outline, identify sources and research methods, and discuss drafts submitted by the student. The research advisor also helps students prepare for the oral defense of their work which takes place a month before the end of the program and the due date of the paper. The purpose of this exercise is to help students evaluate their progress and diagnose the weak points in their outline and arguments. Rather than an extraneous burden added to the intern's other duties, the field research project grows out of the internship through a useful and rewarding synergy of internship and research. The Field Study and Internship model results in well-trained student-interns fully engaged in mission-driven internships in their field, while exploring a critical problem guided by an experienced research advisor.

Course Description
This course focuses on the question of which cognitive, biological, and environmental factors are responsible for the acquisition of mother tongue knowledge of language and the ability to use this knowledge in a natural and creative manner in daily life. Several of these factors are studied, starting from the linguistic perspective that reveals the variable and invariant characteristics of sound structure, word and sentence structure and meaning. This basis leads to develop further insight into the distinction between domain-specific mechanisms for language acquisition and general cognitive skills in development. Characteristic of the chosen approach is the language-comparative perspective. The process of acquiring different languages is covered and students consider what that indicates about the interaction of the cognitive systems of knowledge involved in that process. Signs that characterize the incredible development children go through in all linguistic facets is discussed. From the first distinctive skills relative to sound patterns, through word and sentence structure, to dependencies and meaning relationships within sentences and in context .

Course Description
This course evaluates the evidence, theories, and practical issues associated with stuttering in early childhood and into teenage years and beyond. Factors that affect the onset and course of stuttering are examined from various perspectives. After preliminary description of the patterns of stuttering, how it is measured, who it affects, and what its symptoms are, lectures examine evidence that stuttering is associated with a range of biological and psychological factors. Particular emphasis is given to how language and motor demands affect stuttering. Theoretical accounts that attempt to integrate these findings are critically assessed. The final part of the course applies the knowledge to practical issues (treatment, diagnosis, and prognosis). In addition to giving a comprehensive coverage about stuttering, this course also has relevance to other speech-language disorders.
