The Korean Language Course at Yeungnam University is a comprehensive and intensive program offered through the university’s Korean Language Institute (KLI) in Gyeongsan (near Daegu), South Korea, designed for international learners seeking to improve their Korean language skills and cultural understanding. Established in 2002, the program runs four regular semesters a year (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter), with each term lasting about 10 weeks (approximately 200 hours) of instruction, typically held Monday through Friday. Students take a placement test (written and speaking) before enrollment and are placed into six proficiency levels (Level 1 to Level 6), allowing progression from beginner to advanced competency. The curriculum emphasizes balanced development of speaking, listening, reading, and writing focused on practical communication for everyday life and academic contexts, taught by qualified Korean language educators. Classes are scheduled in morning or afternoon sessions depending on placement and class availability. In addition to classroom learning, the program fosters a multinational learning environment and often includes opportunities to engage with Korean culture and student life on and around the campus in Gyeongsan/Daegu.
