Sungkyun Language Institute
Since its establishment as "Audio-Visual Education Center"
in 1964, and its re-organizations taking place from 1996 to
the present, the institute has been working to enhance students'
foreign language skills by developing effective teaching methods
and materials and offering many language courses.
Korean Language Course
The aim of this course is to introduce Korean language and
culture to interested international students. Sungkyun Language
Institute (SLI) has highly-qualified teachers and an excellent
curriculum based on the Institute's own textbooks, which reflect
the faculty's years of teaching experience and dedication.
The SLI also offers special courses which prepare students

the Test Of Proficiency In Korean (TOPIK), college entrance
exams, and a special course on Korean movies. Classes consist
of about 15 students. With all of the cultural events, trips,
international meetings, help provided by 'Friends' and club
activities, SLI provides an outstanding environment for international
students to learn Korean both on and off campus. Most of our
students are admitted to prestigious Korean universities,
including Sungkyunkwan University, after having completed
their language course in SLI. Many SLI students pass the Test
Of Proficiency In Korean with a very high score which increases
their chances of attaining a good job in Korea and in their
home countries.
Location
SLI is located on the Sungkyunkwan University's Humanities
and Social Sciences Campus, which is situated in the heart
of Seoul near Daehakro. As the cultural, economic, and political
center of Korea, Seoul provides infinite opportunities for
foreign students. Students can benefit from the city's rich
resources, and are able to put into practice what they have
learned in the classroom. In particular, Daehakro, a lively
arts, theaters, music, and restaurant quarter in Seoul, provides
an exciting environment for student life. Another great place
for students to go to is Insa-dong, a 400 meter-long street
lined with traditional tea shops, art galleries, antique shops,
restaurants and ceramic dealers, where students can witness
both traditional and modern Korea.
