Panel Discussion: Environmentalism in EFL #2426

Sat, Nov 6, 19:00-20:15 Asia/Seoul | LOCATION: Room KT

The industrialization of South Korea and other developed economies has enabled a higher standard of living for most citizens, but not everyone benefits equally, and, some pay more by having to live or work nearer sources of industrial pollution, or areas of higher climate incident risk. This is the challenge of environmental justice. How can we best prepare our students to tackle these enormous interrelated issues? Questions will be focused on motivation and practical outcomes in terms of language acquisition, awareness raising and behavioural change, and will include wider environmental themes. Participants will have the opportunity to contribute information, ideas, experiences, and questions. MYSTERY EASTER EGG

Educational Bias: A Management of Change Perception in South Korea`s Private Educational Sector. #1813

Sun, Nov 7, 18:00-18:20 Asia/Seoul | LOCATION: Room RM

Examining the negative connotations related to the perception of change, the study shall explore the mechanics involved in creating a knowledge sharing workplace to combat workplace deviant behaviour. Many factors contribute to such unwarranted behaviour and one of key importance is the relationship between organizational leadership and the employee. This relationship is critical for successful change management. Additionally, the scope of information shared in relation to the change management process will either hinder or enhance positive perception to change. Therefore the working environment is critical for cognitive influence and decision making. Change itself happens in the workplace due to external market pressures, internal policies, and sometimes a combination of both. However, resistance to change also occurs at a cognitive level, where the fear of the unknown, job insecurity and feelings of helplessness are factors that contribute to the negative narrative perception.
