Keimyung University Korean Language Institute

Keimyung University's Korean Language Institute in Daegu uses its own textbook series, Living Korean, in the regular course. A placement test groups students by their existing knowledge of the language. That matters for learners who already read Hangul or have studied Korean elsewhere: the starting point is determined by placement, and the course runs across several levels.

A ten-week term at Keimyung

The regular programme brings reading, listening, speaking and writing into the same sequence of study. The institute describes a ten-week term with 200 hours of classes, and four terms across the year. For a student comparing programmes, those figures distinguish the length of the commitment from the amount of teaching within it. Korean cultural activities accompany the classroom work.

The institute lists its Daegu campus on Dalgubeol-daero in Dalseo-gu. The published term calendar distinguishes the application window, the placement assessment and the start of teaching. For students travelling to Daegu, these are separate dates to take into account when deciding which intake fits their plans.

Keimyung also describes a separate short-term programme with activities in Daegu. Its city tour introduces local food and landmarks, while examples of student leisure include dance and singing rooms. Students considering a short visit can compare that activity-led format with the more sustained textbook and placement sequence of the regular course.
