Dong-eui University International Language Education Centre Busan

Dong-eui University’s International Language Education Centre teaches Korean on the Gaya campus in Busanjin-gu, Busan. The city’s directory and the university’s admissions material identify the Eomgwang-ro campus. This is the location to use when planning the journey to the university and learning where to report on arrival.

Placement and weekday Korean on the Gaya campus

The centre offers four 10-week Regular Course terms per year: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Students are placed by level test across six proficiency tiers (beginner to advanced). The level assessment matters for learners whose abilities have developed unevenly. Someone who understands family conversations may have had little practice reading formal Korean, while a learner who studied independently may read well and find it difficult to respond spontaneously. Placement gives the centre a way to bring those skills together in a suitable group.

The regular programme has weekday classroom sessions and incorporates opportunities to experience Korean culture in Busan. A student planning more than one term can look at the gaps between sessions and the progression from one level to the next. For someone preparing to study at a Korean university, those dates also need to be considered alongside the application period and any separate evidence of proficiency required by the receiving institution.
