Congratulations to Professor Heeyeong Jung of East Asian Studies.
The EAS department warmly congratulates Heeyeong Jung on being appointed the Yoon Se Young Assistant Teaching Professor of Korean Language and Literature.
Professor Jung's research currently focuses on two main areas: the development of a performance-based digital textbook for intermediate and advanced Korean learners, and a sociolinguistic study on speech style shifts among native and non-native speakers of Korean during cooking club activities. This project investigates how factors such as ethnicity, gender, and language proficiency shape patterns of speech style use.
