Study plans to improve foreign languages(Korean, English, etc) required for taking a bachelor’s degree course

BEFORE and AFTER you come to Korea.

Growing up amazed by the diverse culture difference from all over the world and gradually influenced by their media, I developed interests in Korean, English, and Japanese. Achieving a goal, especially one as challenging as mastering foreign languages, requires much planning. Still, my primary focus, of course, is to become fluent in Korean, so I have developed a detailed plan of actions.

In preparation for studying in Korea for 4 years of bachelor's degree, the Korean language is essential. Thus, before taking off from Iran, I made sure that I acquired basic Korean language knowledge. I could not go to any Korean classes due to the fact that there were none in my little city. Only by using free online courses and the books I started self-studying. To evaluate my Korean knowledge I took the TOPIK exam and I placed level 2 by scoring 146. My Korean speaking skills are basic since I did not have access to anyone who can speak Korean to practice, but I tried my best to be able to have a simple conversation with the local people upon arrival in case I face with any problem.

Although I have already attained TOPIK 1, My goal is to be able to receive a TOPIK 6 certificate within the first year of Korean language training in Korea. First and foremost, I will attend my language training classes which will expand my knowledge about the structure of Korean grammar and improve my vocabulary. On the other hand, being immersed in the culture itself and having Korean friends will surely allow me to become a proficient speaker. Moreover, I will be active in the language exchange and culture experiencing programs, in order to improve my general language skill and adapt in the culture quickly.

As I was always in touch with English contents such as English animations, movies, and books, I had to learn English in order to understand them. I used the same method that I used for studying Korean to learn English. To prepare myself better for this scholarship I took the TOEFL exam.

Although I scored 100 in TOEFL, I am willing to enhance my English Speaking skill by communicating with my international classmates in the first year of my stay in Korea. Also, once settling down in Korea, I am going to start an English YouTube channel to record my life and to share my studying experience in Korea which can help a foreigner to get to know more about this country.

Another language that I am interested in is Japanese. After learning simple Japanese words and sentences through their animations, I taught myself Hiragana and Katakana. On the other hand, I only know a few Kanji. I hope I would be able to attend Japanese language courses or a Japanese community and excel in this language. After my Japanese studies, I would like to take The Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JPLT). By the end of the first year, I will have TOPIK 6, JPLT N2 and also speaking English fluently.

Study plan for a bachelor’s degree course (Please state the reason you choose such universities and departments (or majors), your academic goals, specific plans (including timeline) to achieve them, and future plan after completion of your study. In case that preferred departments (or majors) of the preferred universities are different, please mention about them separately.)

The reason that I want to enroll Ewha woman's university is that it has the ideal academic environment for me as a passionate student and a feminist.
As a girl who grew up in a developing country, I always fought for my own rights. Reading about Ewha women's university and its foundation brought tears to my eyes and I felt emotionally attached to this university. I was truly amazed by the fact that how all the individual student of Ewha gathered together for educating and women's rights.
My long-term goal is to pursue my education in Media interaction design major because I want t to concentrate on a specific aspect of the field of animation. Media Interaction Design is an intense and rigorous program which gives me the opportunity to explore the design implications of emerging technologies and the evolving connections between technology, design, and the human experience. I found this major versatile and completely suitable for my abilities and future career
After finishing my first year of Korean language training, I will start my first term at the university. As a short-term goal, I planned to enhance my academic language skill in this year and focusing on the lectures. Also Getting to know about my major and my own abilities and potential is one of the priorities. Moreover working a part-time job will be great. It helps me to be involved in the society and finding a stable financial position as a student.
In the second year when I completely embrace my new life and gain enough experience, I will start my own YouTube channel to record my life. Sharing them on my page would allow me to help other people who are interested to study and live in South Korea. I will talk about my daily life and show how South Korea helps me to continue my studies. I will also talk about the challenges that I will experience as a foreigner and the ways to cope with them. Creating such these contents helps me to understand more about media and their ways to work on a minuscule scale. Having a YouTube channel will be an experimental project for me to reach bigger ones.
In the third and the last year of my studies, I will work on my thesis. I have an idea about bringing the Kushnameh: A 1,500-year-old Persian Epic about Korea into the animation world. It will demonstrate a series of events during the Silla dynasty.

After finishing my bachelor's degree I would like to come back to my country and pursue my graduate degree in Tehran Art University. Moreover, my main intention is to use my knowledge and experience that I will achieve in South Korea in my own country, and by creating animations help both nation, South Korea and Iran, to remain friends.
