ranging from Computer Design to Food Science are required to complete
at least two semesters of English. Native-Korean and native-speaker

Classes meet Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Class sizes can
range from 25 to 40 students with an average of 30 being the norm.
Woosong Information College (WIC) is a two-year institution training
Korean students to meet the country's challenging demands for a
highly-skilled workforce. A wide variety of computer and other technology-centric
majors are offered. WIC learners are also required to study English.
Student enrollment as well as class times and sizes are similar
to those at WSU.
Woosong Technical College (WTC), an institution focused on Korea's
industrial needs, has recently expanded its English language programs.
Students majoring in Computer Science, Civil Engineering and Architecture
study English to enable them to ultimately apply their skills in
the global business environment. Student enrollment as well as class
times and sizes are similar to those at WSU.
WLI itself serves about 400 students at any given time. These learners
are business/community members and/or WSU, WIC and WTC students
preparing for exams such as the Test of English for International
Communication (TOEIC) or polishing their skills for other reasons.
