Dankook University is a privately-owned Korean university providing quality education for more than 50 years. It was recently ranked 50th among 200 Korean universities.

It is the first university in Korea to implement a dual campus in Jukjeon and Cheonan offering high-tech research facilities, state-of-the-art classrooms, hospital and dental centres, onsite dormitory accommodation, a museum and cafeterias, seminar rooms and fitness centres, all equipped for convenient campus life. It has a student enrolment of 29 787 of which 22 152 are undergraduates and 7635 postgraduates in two campuses.

Dankook University is offering short-term winter teaching and study programs for undergraduate and graduate university students from English-speaking countries, including Australia, who want to explore South Korea.

The International Winter School program, 5 January to 22 February 2011, consists of:

English Village (EV), 5 to 27 January 
A three-week program in which Australian students lead conversation classes with three to four Korean students. Directed by TESOL Graduate Professors, participants are provided with teacher training to assist them in developing their teaching skills. Participants develop relationships with Dankook University students through weekly team-building activities while enjoying a new experience of Korea.

 Intensive Korean Language and Culture Program (IKLCP), 27 January to 22 February
A four-week program following the EV program, the IKLCP provides four hours of Korean language instruction each morning, followed by cultural activities and field trips in the afternoon, exploring both traditional and modern Korean customs. Participants have the opportunity to travel around the Korean peninsula and experience some of Korea’s most famous sights and cultural experiences including traditional folk villages, cooking (and eating!) Korean foods, taekwondo, Korean calligraphy, wearing Hanbok (traditional clothing), kite making, Korean mask making, Korean ceramics and many others.
