李主圣博士

Ju Seong Lee (Ph.D. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) is the architect of the Informal Digital Learning of English (IDLE) model. This model breaks away from traditional classroom methods and uses digital tools to foster self-paced, natural learning of English. The result? Less stress, more motivation, and improved language skills and cultural understanding for students. In collaboration with global experts, Lee has adapted the IDLE model to empower teachers. His efforts have led to successful training programs in Hong Kong, Mainland China, Indonesia, and Iran.

Lee’s passion for equal education was sparked during his volunteer work in 25+ countries. His experiences – from teaching Korean/English language, serving as an army translator, to representing Kazakhstan at a UNESCO conference – fuel his commitment to educational equity. Since joining EdUHK in 2018, Lee has been pushing for equal education opportunities. His work with colleagues has benefited 8,000+ EFL students and teachers across seven countries. He’s also worked on capacity-building projects in Kazakhstan, Brunei, and Indonesia and kickstarted the “Global Empowerment Project: English for All in Indonesia.”

Lee’s ambition extends beyond academia – he seeks to make a real-world impact. His ultimate aim is to help students improve their English skills and open up global opportunities. If you share his vision for a more equitable education system, Lee is ready to collaborate and mentor.
