Foreign Language Course Abroad Training Program launched

Seoul National University has launched a new course for winter session, ‘Introductions to Foreign Languages 3’. Its goal is to offer an enriching study opportunity for about 3~4 weeks abroad through training in advanced level foreign languages and subsequent cultural experiences, for students who have already finished introductory courses of each language.
This program will be an effective opportunity in the mid-to-long- term view, bringing up the inheritors of the academics which need preservation and support, and producing experts in each foreign country or region.

All students who have completed and received grades above B+ (3.3) in one or more advanced foreign language course(s) (the titles of advanced lectures are described below) can register for these courses upon selection following an interview with professors of each language.

The total lecture hours will be about 75 hours (45 hours for 3 credit course rules + practical training over 30 hours), and students will be taught under the guidance of full-time faculty from each language department.
