Currently there are seven American Spaces - one American Center Korea (located in the Embassy Annex in Seoul) and six American Corners in Busan, Daegu, Gwangju, Pyeongtaek, Gangneung, and Jeju. One of the key programs at American Spaces is the English language program, which is delivered through a program series called English Lounge. The English Lounge Series is a programming vehicle for the Embassy to foster communication with emerging voices both in and outside of Seoul. The goal of the program is for Koreans to gain a better understanding of U.S. policy, culture, and society while practicing their English. The topic of each program session will be drawn from PD priorities as identified in the section-wide strategic planning process. English Lounge grantees will conduct sessions monthly at the American Center Korea and bi-weekly at the six American Corners from October 2021 to September 2022 for a year. There will be a total of 24 sessions at each of the six American Corners and 12 sessions at the American Center Korea. · Specific goals include: 1. Participant’s understanding of topics related to U.S. society, culture, policy, and U.S.-ROK relations will increase by 30%. 2. Participants will learn at least two reliable web resources from USG or U.S. organization for each topic so that they can get accurate information about U.S. society and culture. 3. Participants will have a motivation to create a sustainable network/engagement with the American instructor and American Spaces team.
