Department of Korean Language & Literature cultivates national identity and also globalization through in-depth learning of the Korean language and culture. Furthermore, the department enhances students' ability to be self-reliant through diverse conferences/seminars. Our students obtain hands-on knowledge through field trips and build solidarities between the lower and upperclassmen students by holding an academic festival each year. The annually published Hyangran Eomun ('Hyangran Language & Literature') summarizes all the activities held by these activities. Our curriculum organizes subjects by focusing on aptitude and levels of difficulty for different majors. With specialties assigned to modern literature, classical literature, and Korean linguistics, the curriculum ensures that students gradually build up their skills in Korean language and literature. -

Since its establishment in 1979, the Department of Korean Language and Literature focuses on three fields of study: Korean linguistics, contemporary literature, and classical literature. Korean linguistics is the study of rules and evolution that govern the Korean language whereas contemporary literature is the research, criticism, and creativeness of each literary genre of modern times. Classical literature is the study to understand the reality of the national literary traditions and establish a phase-cultural history by incorporating both the oral and written literature. The Department of Korean Language and Literature studies these three fields systematically and simultaneously explores a wide range of applications in ways to continue to contribute to the national culture. -
