Hi Dennis!   Daniel Craig   Nina, I like diagnostics for my writing and listening classes. As much for me as for them.   Nina Liakos   @Daniel, yes, plus we need to make sure students have been placed correctly into the right level.   Daniel Cross   I give them 10 answers about myself and they work in partners to think of the questions   Daniel Craig   For me, it wouldn't really matter in terms of placement. I have to work with whoever comes to class :-) However, I could advise them to go elsewhere.   Nina Liakos   I like the idea of providing answers to the questions. Students always struggle with question formation.   Daniel Cross   ex.

His uncommon understanding of Korean culture and the Korean mindset also contribute to his many insights about working at Seegene and the future of medicine in Korea and the world.Deepen your understanding of Korea by listening as David shares from his experiences and expertise!Original Post, Transcript, & Discussioncan be found on Korea Business Central

 Produced by Steven S. Bammel, and hosted by Tom Tucker.October 9, 2011The Korea Business Interview SeriesCommissioner Hank Ahn"Korea Is a Great Destination for Foreign Direct Investment"Hank Ahn is Commissioner of Invest KOREA.* * *For too long, the advantages of Korea as a foreign direct investment destination have been overlooked while overseas companies have poured money into economies of Japan and China. However, with Korea’s rise to economic strength, the US Commerce Department reports that American companies’ investments in Korea have been more lucrative than anywhere else over the past decade.It’s time for a new perspective on foreign direct investment to Korea and it is the role of Invest KOREA to help foreign investors find and execute their business plans in Korea successfully. In this interview, Invest KOREA Commissioner Hank Ahn shares with KBC listeners about the many advantages of doing business in Korea, as well as the amazing and free services provided by Invest KOREA.Original Post, Transcript, & Discussion can be found on Korea Business Central

 Produced by Eun-Shil Parkand Steven S. Bammel, and hosted by Tom Tucker.September 2, 2011The Korea Business Interview SeriesProfessor Ha-Joon Chang"23 Things They Don’t Tell You About (Korean) Capitalism"Professor Ha-Joon Chang is Professor in the Faculty of Economics, University of Cambridge, and author of the international best-seller 23 Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism.* * *The Korean economic miracle was not achieved through policies of free trade or hands-off capitalism. But, in the last decade, the Korean government has jumped on the global free market bandwagon, deregulating industries and signing free trade agreements with many other countries.One voice that has consistently spoken out to remind people of forgotten history is Professor Ha-Joon Chang. Having lived through the Korean economic boom, and studied and taught development economics in Europe, Professor Chang brings a much-needed alternative perspective to the mainstream.With a knack for explaining complicated concepts in easy-to-understand language, in his latest book, 23 Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism, Professor Chang helps KBC listeners understand the connections between global generalities and their specific applications to Korea.You may not, in the end, agree with all of Professor Chang’s conclusions, but you can’t deny that he points out many truths of business and economics that others often overlook. His compelling perspective makes the debate richer and this interview contributes to an understanding of Korea and Korean business today.Listen to the interview first, and then go out and buy the book. It’s available in at least eight languages.Original Post, Transcript, & Discussion can be found on Korea Business Central

From its early partnership with Samsung, to an extraordinary level of office culture localization, as well as matching uniqueness of the Korean consumer market, Tesco and Homeplus have achieved an amazing success.Tom Brown has been with Tesco in Asia during this time, both in Korea and China, leading the company’s efforts to locate new stores. His insider perspective leaves us with many valuable insights about business in Korea (and even a little about business in China!).This interview is a “must-listen” for anyone with an interest in business in Korea.Original Post, Transcript, & Discussion can be found on Korea Business Central
