Description
The Ewha Language Center: Korean Language Program offers six levels of language coursework supplemented with extracurricular cultural activities. This program emphasizes high level reading and writing and may be well suited to students who already have a high level of speaking proficiency. Students seeking opportunities to improve spoken fluency will need to be proactive about finding language partners outside of class. Most students live off campus in self-arranged housing. Although hosted at a women's university, the Ewha Korean language program is co-ed.
