Korean Language Program(Seoul Campus)
Overview
The courses offered at the Center for Korean Language and Culture(CKLC) are divided into Standard Korean programand Special Korean program. In consideration of the diversity of the students, CKLC stresses a learner-centered education program. Furthermore, to develop communication skills in Korean, the courses emphasize everyday communication.
We provide this Korean language program at no cost to all exchange students. However, as the Center for Korean Language and Culture is currently located only in our Seoul campus, exchange students in the Global campus (Yongin city) are not eligible to appy for this program.
Standard Korean Programs for Exchange Students
The Standard Korean Program is for foreigners and overseas Koreans living in Korea. There are 7 to 13 students per class with 10 weeks of class per semester for 4 hours a day (approximately 200 hours per 10-week term). Classes are held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Standard Korean Programs are divided into 6 levels and in order to successfully complete a level, students must pass a final examination and cannot be absent for more the 1/5 of the course, i.e. students must attend at least 40 days of instruction.
