The instructors prepared a scenario in which students played reporters and teachers played police or family members of victims of a tragic ferry accident. The scenario challenged the students listening and writing skills as they interviewed and interpreted what they heard from the teachers to formulate a news story. They then shared their news stories with their classmates. The immersion also featured Korean food such as kimbab, rice rolls, and chap jae, glass noodles, followed by a few rounds of nori bang, the Korean version of karaoke.
