Haechan Lee, left, and Jehyeong Ahn are in a group of South Korean students studying English at UTC for two weeks and also seeing the sights of Chattanooga.<\/p><\/div>\n

Haechan Lee has only been in the United States for three days, but he\u2019s already noticed a big difference between here and his home in South Korea.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe food is really heavy. I mean, bacon and sausage for breakfast? C\u2019mon!\u201d he says. Breakfast in South Korea might be rice, fish and kimchi, which is salted and fermented vegetables.<\/p>\n

But then Lee admits: \u201cI love all the food here.\u201d<\/p>\n

As you can tell, Lee speaks English very well, but he\u2019s at UTC for two weeks with a group of 20 Korean students who are taking a crash course in English as a Second Language. The high school students live in Gangneung, a sister city to Chattanooga, and the two cities and UTC collaborated to bring the students here. It’s the first time for the program and the first time most of the students have been to America.<\/p>\n

In the morning, the students are on campus, taking the same classes college-age and adult ESL students attend. The afternoons, though, are filled with such activities as trips to Rock City and Ruby Falls, taking in a Lookouts baseball game, the Tennessee Aquarium, the Hunter Museum of American Art, bowling, biking and other fun pursuits.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re hoping they will improve their English and maybe understand American culture a little bit better,\u201d says Anna Savary, director of the ESL Institute at UTC.<\/p>\n

An additional goal, says Savary, who\u2019s also assistant director for university\u2019s Center for Global Education, is that \u201csome of them will like UTC so much, they\u2019ll come back and start an undergraduate program here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Plans to bring the Korean students to campus began in January with talks between UTC and the Sister City Association of Chattanooga. The local groups then worked with the Youth Learning Center in Gangneung, the students\u2019 regular school.<\/p>\n

Boseul Kim, a 15-year-old who just started high school, says she wanted to come to the U.S. after her sister visited the country and told her that it\u2019s an excellent place to improve your English. While English is a standard course in Korean schools, it\u2019s a good idea to learn more, says the soft-spoken Kim.<\/p>\n

Beyond the language, one thing she\u2019s learned in the short time she\u2019s been here is that Americans \u201care all kind.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I love their smiles. I really love their smiles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Along with the differences in cuisine, Lee\u2014a college student who is one of the chaperones on the trip\u2014 says he\u2019s discovered another significant difference between Korea and the U.S. In his country, there is an \u201cage hierarchy,\u201d he explains. As a 20-year-old, he says he simply could not speak to someone who is a good bit older than him, say a 40-year-old.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat gap would ban us from being friends,\u201d he says. \u201cBut here, when someone is speaking English and I\u2019m speaking English, I can feel that atmosphere that, \u2018We don\u2019t care about your age. We don\u2019t care where you\u2019re from.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
