Implementation of Universal Design for Learning in South Korean Universities

My name is Kristen Svenstrup. I have been teaching English as a foreign language for more than eight years. My first experience with EFL was in Rennes, France where I studied French at a local university and taught English a few days a week at Jean Moulin Collége (middle school). When I graduated from university with a degree in international studies and a minor in French and linguistics, I set out to teach English in South Korea. Since that time, I have worked with many different age groups. I even took a short break from South Korea to obtain my CELTA (Certificate of Teaching English to speakers of other languages) in Cape Town, South Africa where I taught English to French speaking Congolese refugees as part of my training. I am now working at Ulsan University in Ulsan, South Korea as a native English Instructor. Through my teaching experience, I have gained some insight into other languages and cultures.
