Center for Foreign Language and Literature Research
Institute of Foreign Language Education
The Institute of Foreign Language Education was established to meet the needs of the information society in the era of globalization and improve theory and practice in foreign language teaching and learning systematically and efficiently. Through integrated research, development and actions in all fields related to foreign language education, including foreign language education policy and curriculum, study materials, teaching & study methods, evaluation and teacher training, it suggests more effective alternatives for the foreign language education system.
Institute of Foreign Literature
The Institute of Foreign Literature was established in March 1, 1995 to play a pivotal role in promoting foreign literature in Korea through in-depth studies on foreign literature and also in translating and promoting Korean literature for foreign readers. Leveraging the strength of HUFS - rich, outstanding foreign literature manpower - the Institute actively pursues studies on foreign literature, academic presentations, translations, publishing and academic exchanges. Through such efforts, the Institute aims to improve the level of research into foreign literature in Korea and to give an impetus to the effort to introduce Korean literature to other countries.
Language Research Institute
Established in 1969, the Language Research Institute is Korea’s first university research center specialized in linguistics. Based in research on the general features of human languages, it builds a theoretical foundation on foreign language education with studies focusing on phonetics, morphology, parts of speech and semantic structure of individual languages, which are the bases of linguistic studies. Through joint studies with some 30 language departments at HUFS, it also makes efforts in comparative studies on different specific languages. The horizon of humanities is broadened through inter-disciplinary research in related fields, such as cognitive science, computer science and IT.
Interpretation and Translation Institute
The Interpretation and Translation Institute opened its doors on September 1, 1997 to support the development of rapidly growing interpretation and translation activities in Korea by defining theories in the studies of interpretation and translation. Through systematically defining studies in interpretation and translation, it has solidified the position of Korea in the 21st century, as it takes off toward the world in the fields of economy, politics and culture, to raise the international stature of Korea and lay a foundation for the globalization of HUFS. It also enhances theory and education on conference interpretation and translation, builds a world-class infrastructure for the studies of interpretation and translation and continually promotes international academic exchanges to step up efforts in leading the studies of interpretation and translation at the international level.
