Seoul Korean Language Academy Curriculum<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

All instructors who work at KLA must receive teacher\u2019s training and plan syllabi very meticulously every week.

They have several courses: regular course, private lesson\/visiting lecture, tailored classes for company, TOPIK preparation course, business class, short term program, and webcam courses. They also allow free observation for an hour of a class before registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regular Course<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The regular classes are focused on learning conversation, reading, writing, listening, grammar, and vocabulary.

They offer a variety of times and frequencies of classes, with 2-hour classes 5, 3, and 2 times a week in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings, as well as Saturday intensive classes.
