The Yonsei University Korean Language Institute (Hangul: 한국어학당 Hanja:) provides instruction in Korean as a foreign language for international students and businesspersons in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul. Established in 1959, over 62,000 students from more than 120 countries have studied at Yonsei KLI. Most students have come from Japan (over 18,000), USA (over 16,000) or China (over 3,000). ==Program Overview== Using a six level series of books published in-house, the institute implements its instruction through its A or B course. The A course moves at a quick pace and completes one book per semester term, while the B course is paced a bit slower. Usually, students native to other Asian countries or having some prior knowledge of the Korean language opt for the A course, while students coming from Western language backgrounds are encouraged to take the B course. Due to a lack of demand, however, the B course may not be offered every term if there are not enough students enrolled. Level one starts with the most basic skills of reading and pronouncing the Korean alphabet and various character combinations while providing a foundation of elementary grammar. Levels two and three build on these with increasingly complex sentence structures and vocabulary. Levels four through six are notably more intensive than the first three and deal with refining speaking and writing skills for everyday fluency, Korean university entrance, or professional application. Each level consists of 10 weeks of instruction, totaling 200 classroom hours. If a student accumulates more than 40 hours of absences from class, he or she cannot move on to the next level without exception. Students are graded based on a midterm and final exam and must receive at least a 60 percent score in each subject (writing, reading, listening and speaking) in order to move on to the next level. If a student fails to achieve this score during the original testing period, the option of retesting the trouble subject is available as long as he or she failed three or less of the subjects. If all four test scores were substandard, the student must repeat the level. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Korean Language Institute」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
