Close the ASEAN Language Course

The ASEAN Language Conversation Courses for Autumn/Winter 2021, which began on September 6, ended on December 1 after a successful semester. The courses, which were operated for three months, attracted significant interest for teaching five ASEAN languages that are rarely offered in Korea. They were held online, resulting in the inclusion of students from outside of Busan and even other countries. One student praised the ASEAN Language Conversation Courses as a “good opportunity to experience, albeit indirectly, the language and culture of a Southeast Asian country” and noted their satisfaction with the fact that courses were tailored to students’ level of proficiency.
