Program outline

The Korean Language Center (KLC) at Division of International Affairs in Seoul Women’s University was established as a professional Korean language education center to serve the purpose of providing foreigners and overseas ethnic Koreans with knowledge of the Korean language and culture.

We run regular program and summer intensive program which reflects various learning environment and demands of the students. Each curriculum focuses on the characters of individual students, and are well-organized to integrate four components of language – speaking, listening, reading, writing – while still seeking to improve each area independently.

Furthermore, we provide cultural activities as well as a buddy program to directly interact with Korean students for a more in-depth and real understanding of Korea.
