What it reported doing in 2024

In 2024, KJEC HOSTED THE Trilateral Teacher Training (T3) Program, WHICH brought together 40 pre-service English teachers from Japan and South Korea under the theme English for a Cleaner Future. Through orientations, in-person gatherings in Fukuoka and Jeju, and community teaching projects, participants engaged in lessons that connected environmental awareness with language education. Hands-on activities like beach cleanups, desalination plant tours, and cultural exchanges reinforced the importance of sustainability while strengthening cross-cultural bonds and teaching confidence. Despite challenges such as a compressed timeline and a few participant withdrawals, the program achieved strong engagement and support from embassies and partners.evaluation results showed clear growth: participants environmental knowledge and communicative teaching skills both rose significantly from pre- to post-program testing. Nearly all participants reported increased confidence, stronger teaching techniques, improved grant writing and cross-cultural understanding, and a sense of lasting friendships. Importantly, the programs impact extended beyond the 40 participants, as they taught lessons that reached 481 additional students in their local communities. Overall, T3 was considered a major success and provided valuable feedback to enhance future iterations.
