Suk Massey

As a veteran member of the Smith faculty, Suk Massey nurtures in her students a passion for learning Korean language through interactive classroom activities. She also provides opportunities to experience Korean culture and build relationships outside the classroom through her annual Korean cooking class and the Korean Lunar New Year celebration.

Massey's research interests include curricular strategies for mixed classes of heritage and nonheritage Korean language learners, as well as innovative pedagogical approaches for the digital generation. Out of her research she has developed the the Korean Language Series, electronic textbooks for beginning, intermediate and advanced Korean language classes.

 In 2018, she was awarded the Sherrerd Prize for Distinguished Teaching.
