Introducing our newest SIG:
Women & Gender Equality Special Interest Group
The purpose of the Women & Gender Equality SIG is to provide a positive environment for women teachers (including women who are trans and gender non-binary, Korean nationals and Korean diaspora, and expat women of color) in Korea to discuss gender issues and to create a platform to educate teachers on gender issues in the ROK and as global citizens. The SIG is open to all supporters of gender equality, regardless of the gender of the supporter. The SIG will work to provide quality content for the classroom, presentations and panel discussions for ELT teachers at all schools and levels of English study throughout the Republic of Korea. The SIG will gather research on techniques for classroom management, classroom activities and course design with a particular focus on gender equality, and and/or informed by in-depth studies on women’s issues - the social and economic implications on gender equality - within their curricula.
Our discussion group is women (and people who identify as women) only, as a safe space to share issues particular to women, and the larger group is for everyone.
Facilitators: Minji Kim & Rhea Metituk
