Department of Korean Education
Department of Korean Education
The Department of Korean Education was established in March 1979. Since that time, students have accumulated their elite knowledge of Korean language and literature, polishing their teaching and leadership skills. Faculty members believe that Korean language and Korean culture represent the root of Korea as a nation, and strengthening the field of Korean education will enable the country to better participate in globalization. To this end, the Department conducts various activities such as direct investigations, folk custom excursions, academic exhibitions, and literary investigations and seminars. These activities are meant to connect studies with practical experiences on the field.
The goal of the Department of Korean Education is to cultivate teachers who understand and will be able to teach the correct usage of the Korean language in secondary schools and in society at large. The Department accomplishes this by enabling its students to analyze linguistic phenomena and appreciate literary works. The whole range of Korean language and culture is covered in the academic curriculum. Many types of courses are opened in the Department to allow for the study of specific subjects according to such majors as Korean Linguistics, Korean Language Education for foreigners, Korean Classical Literature Education and Korean Modern Literature Education, Korean Folklore and Culture Education, Korean Creative Writings Education, and Korean Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing Skills Education.
Graduates receive a secondary degree teacher's certificate in Korean education. Students have a broad range of career options from education to journalism.
