Korean for Professionals

The Korean Language Flagship Center (KLFC) aims to produce professionals who can function in Korean in their chosen fields. After two years of intensive Korean language training customized to their fields, graduates of this program are expected to take their place among the next generation of global professionals as Korea specialists, commanding professional-level proficiency in Korean. Successful completion of the program and demonstration of the ability to use Korean at a professional level (ILR 3, ACTFL Superior) lead to the Master of Arts degree in Korean for Professionals. This monograph series is a compilation of the students' research on critical and controversial issues in Korea or Korea-US relations.

This volume is the fifth in the series and is published by the National Foreign Language Resource Center at the University of HawaiÊ»i at MÄnoa.
