Cyber Hankuk University Chinese students train as art docents

Students from the Chinese Language department at Cyber Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (CUFS) recently participated in a specialized training program designed to enhance their skills as foreign language docents. The group attended a session focused on Chinese exhibition commentary at the Seoul Museum of Art's Seosomun main building.

The training, led by Lee Geunsuk, a docent from the National Asian Culture Center (ACC), provided students with practical knowledge essential for guiding Chinese-speaking visitors. The curriculum covered the structure of effective Chinese docent scripts, including how to introduce exhibition concepts, present artists, and explain artworks. It also emphasized practical techniques for engaging audiences and handling questions during tours.

Professor Lee Sun-hee, head of the CUFS Chinese Language department, along with 11 students, participated in the program. The session delved into the specifics of crafting compelling exhibition commentary and shared real-world expertise from a practicing docent. Participants also examined case studies of multilingual services and foreign visitor support at institutions like the Seoul Museum of Art and the ACC, gaining insight into the growing demand for Chinese language services in cultural and artistic fields and potential career opportunities.
