The
Department of Korean Language and Literature was inaugurated
in 1955 when Kyung Hee was officially accredited as university.
The department aims to conduct both systematic and scientific
research in Korean language and literature. The department
has three major areas: modern literature, classical literature
and linguistics. In modern literature, students gain knowledge
of Korean literature through readings and analyses of literary
works. Students are also provided with opportunities to engage
in creative writing. In Korean classics, students learn to
analyze and study literary works from ancient times to the
so-called "Renaissance" of Korean literature. In
linguistics, students engage in linguistic studies of the
Korean language in its various stages of development throughout
history from the ancient to the modern form of today.
