The Korea Society’s Korean Language Program offers students the opportunity to learn Korean at six skill levels ranging from the introductory to the advanced. Starting dates and class times vary by the level of instruction.

The classes emphasize conversation, listening, reading and writing skills. Each class is offered two evenings per week for 6 weeks, totaling 21 contact hours for the semester. The instructors are native Korean speakers with advanced degrees, extensive teaching experience and university affiliations. All classes meet at The Korea Society, 950 Third Avenue, Eighth Floor, New York, NY 10022.

Summer Session I, May 12 – June 18, 2008 (*a make-up class will be held for Memorial Day 5/26)

 

Summer Session II, July 7 – August 13, 2008

Registration for Summer Session 2008 is now open. There will be a $40 service charge for all cancellations of enrollment. No refunds or cancellations will be made after the second day of class.

Note: The Korea Society reserves the right to cancel any course if sufficient enrollment is not obtained. In such cases, students already enrolled will receive full refunds.

Textbooks

One textbook is required for each level. The cost is not covered by the tuition for the class. All books are available through The Korea Society for $30. It is suggested that students pre-order a copy at the time of registration.

We have adopted new textbooks for all of our classes. Beginning with the Fall 2007 semester, we will be using only the Korean language textbooks published by the Language Education Institute at Seoul National University. The following are the required textbooks for each class level:

Introductory 1 & 2: 한국어 1 (Korean Language 1)
Intermediate 1 & 2: 한국어 2 (Korean Language 2)
Advanced 1 & 2: 한국어 3 (Korean Language 3)
