曹蕾東北大学大学院教育学研究科

AEL Course aims to nurture internationally-minded educational professionals (IMEP) who have aninternational perspective and are able to address educational challenges in contemporary East Asia.
Specifically, it nurtures (1) Education researchers capable of undertaking a comparative analysis ofeducational issues in East Asia; (2) Teacher leaders who are practicing educators capable of engaging withresearchers, policymakers, and other practitioners; (3) Education administrators with knowledge and skills
required to collaborate with partners across the region.
AEL Course is set up by consensus among, and its summer/winter courses are hosted in turn by, six
partner institutes of five universities in East Asia from 2014. 2022-2023 was the fourth round of the AEL
Course. Due to the improving situation regarding the Covid-19 pandemic in 2023, we have restarted an onsite course. Summer Course 2023 (SC2023) was the 17th AEL summer/winter course. SC2023 was hostedby the College of Education, Korea University, between August 16-26, 2023. Under the current AEL
Course curriculum frame, SC2023 opened the following three subjects (Table 1). Forty-five participantsfrom five partner institutions took part in this course. Table 2 shows the number of students in SC2023.
