Korean

Our Korean modules follow the blended learning approach: although the majority of the sessions will be taught face-to-face (in the classroom), some of the sessions will be delivered online – real-time interactive virtual classes.

At the end of each semester long module, there will be two assessments: Reading & Writing and an Oral Assessment.

Please note: KLS assessments cannot be re-scheduled.

Please also note: a minimum of 10 students is required in order for a course to run. Should any course not recruit enough students, it will be cancelled.
