* Sogang University is on a quarterly academic calendar that does not line up well with Yale's academic calendar. As a result, Light Fellows studying at Sogang usually choose to do so for either the Summer or Academic Year.
This program is especially well-suited for those who want to hone their practical conversation skills in Korean. Unique among Korean language programs, Sogang employs a communicative approach to teaching, where students constantly practice articulating themselves and focus on methodically-designed tasks in small groups.
This is an excellent choice for students who want to focus on improving spoken fluency. Most students find and rent their own off-campus housing.
Sogang offers Light Fellows an additional service through a supplementary one-on-one tutorial with one of its professional instructors for 12 hours each term. The scheduling and focus of this tutorial (often as a weekly meeting) is determined according to Light Fellows’ individual needs and interests.
