The Korean Language Course at Ajou University in Suwon, South Korea is a structured and intensive program offered by the Center for International Education (CIE) for international learners who want to improve their Korean communication skills for everyday use, academic study, business, or career purposes. The regular Korean language course runs four terms a year (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter), with each term lasting 10 weeks (about 200 hours); classes are typically held Monday through Friday for about 4 hours a day and have small class sizes (around 15 students per class) to support interactive learning. Students are placed into six proficiency levels (Levels 1–6) based on a placement test, and the curriculum covers balanced skills in speaking, listening, reading, writing, vocabulary, and grammar, with practical activities tailored to real‑life communication and deeper understanding at higher levels. Completion of Level 3 often qualifies learners to apply for undergraduate admission at Ajou University.
