성립취지

언어는 일주일에 한번씩 수업으로 얻을 수 있는 것이 아닙니다. 날마다의 지속적인 양질의 수업으로 인한 반복과 꾸준한 지도가 있을 때 언어습득능력을 최대한으로 높일 수 있습니다. 좋은친구양성센터에서는 일주일에 네번의 수업을 통해 기초, 중급, 심화반의 세단계로 다양하게 구성된 한국어 증진학습을 제공합니다. 한국어교육의 성립목표는 학생들로 하여금 한글을 깨우치고 일상생활에서의 듣기와 말하기를 도모시켜 대화가 가능하게 만드는데 기초합니다. 다른 학습단체와 달리 좋은친구양성센터에서는 소수정예를 목표로 한국어를 배우고자하는 모든 이들에게 좀더 나은 교육을 제공하고자 한국어과정을 도입하게 되었습니다.
