Honam University, the Only Institution in Honam Region Selected for the 'KF Global e-School Korean Language Education Project'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Honam University (President Park Sangcheol) announced on the 18th that it was the only institution in the Honam region selected for the ‘KF Global e-School Korean Language Education Project’ organized by the Korea Foundation (KF).

The ‘KF Global e-School (hereafter e-School)’ project supports providing Korea-related lectures to overseas universities through connections between domestic and foreign universities.

It aims to offer lectures for researchers and students of Korean studies to study Korea in response to the explosive increase in overseas demand for Korean language and Korean studies.

Started in 2011 with 700 students from 19 universities in 12 countries, the KF Global e-School project selected participating universities this year divided into real-time interactive and VOD types that allow repetitive learning.

Honam University, with Professor Yoon Young of the Korean Language Department as the project leader and participation from Korean language professors, was selected as a VOD lecture participating university for next year, providing Korean language-related VOD lectures to the New Southern regions such as China, Vietnam, Thailand, and the New Northern regions such as Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and Azerbaijan.

Additionally, through dispatching Korean language education majors locally, the ‘Hohohi Korean Language Assistance Program’ will be conducted offline to support learning.

This project is the result of Honam University’s accumulated international exchange, global education foundation, and Korean language education capabilities.

In particular, the Korean Language Department at Honam University, which proved to be the best Korean language education institution in the Honam region through this project selection, has secured many excellent professors in the field of Korean language education and operates a professional and systematic Korean language teacher training curriculum through the Korean Language Department and general university master’s and doctoral programs, as well as the Social Convergence Graduate School master’s program.

Yoon Young, head of the KF Global e-School Korean Language Education Project Team, said, “We are pleased to deliver Honam University Korean Language Department’s specialized curriculum and high-quality lectures to overseas universities,” adding, “Based on Honam University’s international exchange capabilities and state-of-the-art VOD production facilities, we will continue to play a leading role as a global university nurturing the next generation of Korean language education experts both domestically and internationally.”
