5. Issues to be resolved (for Korean teachers)*
07/16/96
Issues to be resolved (for Korean teachers)
Since the method used is the direct and communicative approach, ideally the teachers should be able to speak some degree of Indonesian language ( if they are unable to speak English). Therefore, the Korean teachers are encouraged to take Indonesian language courses for non-native speakers. (Provided for them free of charge)
The term of duty of the Korean teachers ideally should be a minimum of two years to ensure sustainability of the program.
To become independent, the university needs at least 8 years to establish a strong Korean Study Program.

Papers and thesis writing by the students
One of the objectives of language teaching courses is to
enable the students to write papers in Korean language.
At the end of their studies they have to choose:
- To write a thesis in Indonesia on Korean
subject
- To replace the thesis by courses on special
subjects (Korean linguistics/literature/history)
The first intake of the students of the Departement of
Korean Sudies will face this issue in the academic year
