Title: Korean University Student's MBTI Obsession & Making it work for you

Speaker: Rhea Metituk

Format: Presentation & Discussion

Abstract

Finding topics that drive conversations for university aged students is a factor language teachers should carefully consider. One hot topic heard in Korea on TV dramas, seen on bus ads, and from the mouths of our students these days is MBTI, a personality typing system which analyzes the psyche according to four basic functions forming 16 types.  The presentation will include a short overview of the MBTI obsession in Korea and how the presenter uses it and other topics in creating questions for discussion. The session will be interactive and participants will be invited to share ideas from their classrooms that get students talking.
