• This talk was a ‘special talk’. That It was viewed as a “special talk because volunteers planned and carried out the successful gathering of both academic and non-academic community members with the help of current foreign volunteers and coordinators. It was formed with the purpose of informing GIC talk attendees who have an interest in English, about university life. Therefore, the university English club members were invited, and the topic was geared towards their taste. It was entitled; ‘Differences between Korean and Foreign Universities’.

• Areum, Jeonnam, a National University student who studied at the university of Missouri Columbia, and Jeremy Azurin, who previously studied in American universities and now studies in at Jeonnam National University, gave a short introduction talk about the differences between Korean and Foreign universities. Unlike the traditional ways the talks are typically delivered, this special talk was mainly focused on the discussion session formed by selected panel members. The discussion portion took place after the 15 minute introductory lecture given by Areum Jeonnam and Jeremy Azuran. After the introduction the audience was divided into two discussion groups so they could take part in sharing some of their own college experiences. Even though the discussion was mainly focused on the panels, which were comprised of university English club members, the audience members also actively participated in the discussion.  After about 30 minutes of lively discussion taking place, everyone gathered again to compare the points raised in each group. This new format of GIC Talk was very fresh and it was good that the audiences could actually be part of the talk and participate themselves.
