The participants were 37 students from a local middle school. Throughout the five-day camp, various topics related to Korean cultures have been used in the lessons during teaching, such as Korean Festival, Korean Landscape, Korean Food. At the end of the camp, students have to use English to give a three minutes presentation comparing Taiwanese culture with Korean culture. Through the presentation, students will be able to apply what they have learned into the presentation.
