Lifelong Learning Courses
Courses within this program may not be taken as part of your degree. They are available to those wishing to learn a language at a more relaxed pace.
We offer a wide range of language courses that can take you from beginner through to advanced level, with the majority of the classes timetabled in the evenings. Upon completion of the course, you may be eligible for a certificate awarded by the Language Centre
The Language Centre has been part of the University of Warwick's central academic services since its establishment in 1964. The Language Laboratory was first set up in 1964 on the East Site (Gibbet Hill Site), by the Senior Technician Laurie Evans.
It moved to new premises in 1966 in a new building which is now solely the Library, but the building then housed the Arts Faculty, Library, Book-bindery and Photography departments. When the Arts faculty (Humanities) building was constructed in 1970, we occupied a few rooms within our current location.
We have taken over a few adjacent rooms over the years to reach our current capacity. We managed at last in 1995 to equip all four of our language laboratories with the same machines, standardizing with the Tandberg IS10 model. This has made the life of our tutors easier by not having to become familiar with different operating controls.
Laurie Evans became Superintendant, but later was re-designated Director until his death in 1985. Afterward, the post of Director was taken by Noemi Messora (appointed 50%) and when she left Warwick to return to Italy, Bob Powell was appointed to a full-time post as Director in 1993.
It can be seen from the archive photographs that Language Laboratory technology has moved on, from valve open-reel tape recorders to transistor solid-state open-reel, cassette tape recorders. Having recently installed a fully digitalized satellite system, we are now progressing to totally computerized digital sound recording.
We have always maintained pace with technology to enable our tutors to utilise the most modern teaching methods - sometimes at the cutting edge of innovation. The Centre's activities continue to expand as part of the University's long-term commitment to the increased provision of foreign language tuition across the Faculties.
Korean is spoken by more than 78 million people. The number of Korean language learners has remarkably grown in the past few decades beyond the Korean peninsula; a growth due mostly to South Korea’s increasingly visible roles in the world economy, technological innovation, and global popular cult...
Learning Korean can seem like a real challenge because of its seemingly difficult alphabet, inaccessible pronunciation, and complicated grammar.
Korean classes are offered by The University of Sheffield.
LSI’s classes in Korean at our schools in central London, New York, Paris and Zurich are led by our highly experienced and fully qualified teachers, allowing you to study the language in a way that is practical, effective and fun.
This semester the Language Centre will be offering over 80 classes in 14 different languages. Classes range from Beginners to Post A level and are available in Korean. This semester we will have both online and in person teaching.
