Jiyoung Kim

Jiyoung Kim serves as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Indiana University Bloomington's Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies. She teaches elementary and third-year Korean courses (EALC KOR 101/301) and holds a PhD in Linguistics from the University of Hawaii at Manoa (2014), specializing in Korean language structures and pedagogy.

Her academic background includes:

• PhD, University of Hawaii at Manoa, 2014

Dr. Kim's research centers on Korean grammatical phenomena—including imperfective aspect markers and modal verbs—and their acquisition by second language learners. She develops project-based curriculum frameworks for college-level Korean while integrating visual culture into pedagogical approaches, bridging theoretical linguistics with classroom practice to address learner challenges in morphosyntax and discourse.

Publication analysis reveals consistent focus on Korean linguistic structures within acquisition and discourse contexts, with evolving emphasis from grammatical analysis (2009-2013) toward curriculum innovation through project-based learning (2015), demonstrating applied scholarship for Korean language education.
