Korean

We currently offer progressive (evening) and customised courses in the Korean language, and also a specialized business course. 

All our Korean language courses are designed according to what our learners need to enable them to use the language.  We strive to develop our learners’ language skills in the areas of Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing. We recognise that language takes place with the context of culture.  Students will be introduced to Korean cultural aspects of the language throughout different stages of the courses.

All students who have studied Korean before will be asked to take a placement test, of approximately one hour, to enable us the place them at the correct level of their course, or in the case of customised courses, to help us tailor their course to their precise needs.

Progressive Korean (evening class)

We offer a progressive Korean evening class on Tuesday or Thursday evenings from 7.30 until 9.30 pm.  New students can join for an introductory 24-hour course over 3 months, at a cost of RM360, payable in two installments. 

As for all our progressive courses except English, the Korean course consists of six levels (from beginner to advanced), with nine modules per level.  Each module takes 4 weeks (i.e. it takes 9 months to complete a level).  The introductory course covers the first three modules.

A certificate will be presented to students on completion of the first 3 months, and then with the completion of each level, providing their class attendance is a minimum of 75%, and that they obtain a minimum of 60% on the examination.

Our classes run with a minimum of six students and a maximum of 15.

Customised Korean (anytime)

We are also able to deliver training courses tailored to the needs of businesses, small groups and individuals.  Our reputation amongst corporate clients is steadily growing and the repeat business we are offered is a sure sign of customer satisfaction.  We have delivered customized Korean courses to local companies, mainly in the manufacturing sector.  Visit the ‘Corporate services’ page of this site, under 'What we do', for more information.

Basic communication with a business emphasis

For newcomers to the Korean language, we also offer a basic communication course for people wanting to conduct business communications in Korean. This course takes place over seven weeks with 4 hours of class contact time per week, on Mondays and Wednesdays from 7.30 until 9.30 pm (28 class hours total), at a cost of RM350.

By the end of the seven weeks, students are able to understand the Korean Alphabet, handle introductions, request and offer assistance/help, make reference to the workplace, ask and give directions and simple instructions, use numbers, currency and time, understand and use statements and questions related to persuasion, information and humor applicable to business negotiation, and they will have participated in conversational exercises through role playing in given business contexts.  You will not reach a level of being able to conduct all your business in Korean, but will be able to communicate in simple contexts and will have developed the cultural awareness you need to relate to Koreans in business.

To register your interest in this course, please call the administration office.  The course always starts on the first Monday of a month, and will next be scheduled to run once a minimum of six students have registered.

A certificate will be presented to students on completion of this course, providing their class attendance is a minimum of 75%, and that they obtain a minimum of 60% on the examination.
