Moonsook Yoon is an experienced Korean Language teacher who has taught for over 30 years in various positions. She was a Korean Language instructor for 14 years at Unification Theological Seminary and established the Institute of Korean Language and Cultural Studies in the Seminary over the period. As a director, she held the annual Korean Speech Contest and other various cultural events. She has published a learning Korean language book: “Entrance to Korean Language Q&A Style” in Japanese in order to teach the cultural aspect of using the language. Not only as a Korean Language Teacher but has she also traveled to Japan as an English instructor to teach both English and Korean language for 2 years at JUNSE International School (High School). She then traveled to Korea and worked for 3 years at Multicultural Peace Federation as a Director of Educating Multicultural Families (especially those married to Koreans) to educate the relationship of a language and its culture, and their effect on communication. She was also an active simultaneous translator at various international conferences between Korean, Japanese, and English in her earlier career time.

As a tri-lingual (Korean, English, and Japanese) with experience in learning other languages (German, Italian, French) and communicating with different language speakers, she knows the difference between “can speak” and “can communicate”. Although she received B.A. Degree in Voice from The Manhattan School of Music, in order to deepen her study in the relationship between a language and its culture she went to Columbia University as a Linguistics Major, then received an M.A. Degree in International Education Development from Columbia University. Thus, her method of teaching a language is not uninformed as ‘teacher-oriented’, but rather as ‘learner-oriented’ so that way learners will be able to use it with confidence when facing reality outside of the classroom.
