Recently the world has refocused attention
particularly upon the importance of
Hispanic culture in Central and South
America, as well as upon the rich cultural
ties between Latin America and Spain.
And now about 4 billion people of the
world are using this language, so many
countries have accepted it as the first
language or the second language. The
growing significance and appreciation
of the region has broadened the range

Recently the world has refocused attention

And now about 4 billion people of the
world are using this language, so many
countries have accepted it as the first

growing significance and appreciation
of the region has broadened the range
of our academic and practical approaches
to the Hispanic culture in the world.
In this sense, the Department of Spanish
Language and Literature seeks not only
to enhance its students' Spanish speaking
ability, but also to deepen their understanding
of the Hispanic culture.
This Department was established in 1981.
Kyung Hee University was the third university
in all of Korea to offer a major in
Spanish and Latin-American literature
and linguistics. Ever since the beginning,
we have been providing relevant knowledge
and information about the linguistics
and culutre of Spain and Latin America.
Cultural studies will focus on the study
of Spanish and Latin American culture,
which will make our students well versed
in the new culture trends originating
from Spain and Latin America and prevailing
all over the world. This will enable
our students to be specialists in the
Spanish and Latin American culture.
As for Linguistics, studies deal with
history of Spanish, Spanish pronunciation,
Spanish grammar, and Spanish syntax,
which will enhance students' awareness
of structures of Spanish sentences and
the right usage for each word of Spanish.

Russian is a subject which studies everything
related to the Russian language and
Russian culture. The Russian language
program aims at acquisition of knowledge
related to Russia. It has three major
fields of studies: language, literature

go on exchange and to take part in language
programs to enhance their education.
The students learn practical spoken
Russian from native professors and apply
this knowledge later in their academic
careers to the study of language and
area studies. Students are encouraged
to consult with their advisors in arranging

The
Department of Chinese Language and Literature
focuses on the study of the humanities
which serves as the foundation of Eastern
and Western cultures. This permits the
study of humanism based on the principles
of truth and freedom, and in a broader
sense, the nurturing of future leaders
of Korea as well as international culture.
In pursuit of these aims, the college
encourages the development of a new
spirit of learning through revisiting
the old, the creative ability to adapt
learned truths to a changing world,
and the formation of new cultural paradigms
to integrate the best of Eastern and
Western cultures, all with the purpose
of leading Korea forward into the new
millennium.
The Department of Chinese Language was
first established as a division in the
college of Humanities in 1960 in Seoul.
The program of Chinese Language and
Literature offers courses in languages,
culture, literature, and linguistics
of China. Courses taught in Korean introduce
students from many disciplines to the
culture, philosophy, linguistics, and
literature of China. Courses in Chinese
enable students to progress from an
elementary working knowledge of either
language to oral and written fluency.
Students learn practical spoken Chinese
from visiting Chinese professors and
apply this knowledge later in their
academic careers to the study of literature
and linguistics. Students who major
in Chinese Language must complete 45
credit hours in Chinese. Students are
encouraged to consult with their advisors
in arranging their programs. Language
study is today a field undergoing major
changes and improvements. The department
is consistently seeking to respond to
these changes by updating its instructional
program.

in 1999. It plays an important part
in introducing Korean language and culture
world-wide. For this purpose, its curriculum
is oriented toward learning Korean as
a foreign language and understanding
Korea's traditional and modern culture.
The KLCP aims to make students understand
Korean language and culture and spread
them world-wide. The KLCP welcomes students
from around the world who are interested
in studying Korean language and culture.

the prospect for our students' job hunting
is very promising, unaffected by the

The 21st century may rightly be called
the age of culture. The ability to understand,
analyze, and produce culture is pivotal
for the survival and growth of individuals
and nations. Thus in-depth study of
culture in the English-speaking world
is significant and inevitable to meet
the challenges of the new century. As
English becomes the global language,
American and British culture is expanding
its influence on the rest of the world.
In order to be able to collaborate and
compete in the increasingly competitive
world led by English-speaking culture,
it is necessary to become familiar with
and understand the ways of thinking
and living in these countries as well
as embark on a thorough and concrete
study not only of their language and
literature but also of their culture.
The major in British and American Culture
offers a variety of courses that will
provide practical and comprehensive
understanding of British and American
culture.

The major in British and American Culture

culture.
The
major of British and American Culture
deals with the comprehensive culture
in the English-speaking world, but with
special emphasis on British and American
culture. Culture in its broad sense
is a whole way of life, or a signifying
system, through which a social order
is communicated, reproduced, experienced,
and explored. It is not just the high
intellectual and artistic activity but
also everyday life such as eating, clothing,
feeling, and consuming. In order to
cover the whole area constituting culture,
British and American Culture offers
courses on the popular as well as high
cultures in the English speaking countries.
It provides courses on performing arts
such as drama and musical, narrative
that constitutes the basis of all arts,
and film that has already ascended as
the leading genre of the contemporary
world. Special critical attention is
paid to language both as the central
tool of communication and the arena
in which social and cultural differences
are reflected and produced. The major
also deals with several central cultural
phenomena that have recently gained
their political importance such as feminism,
globalization, and sexual revolution.
In order to see these contemporary issues
in the historical context, it provides
courses on the history of British and
American cultural thoughts and criticism.
Successful completion of the major will
prepare students to become specialists
in the British and American culture
and leaders in today's global society.
