The Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) was established as a research-oriented school by the Korean National Assembly in 1993, and, since that time, GIST has pioneered a highly regarded educational science curriculum, which has become a model for other science universities in Korea to emulate.
An important cornerstone of GIST's educational approach has been the recognition of English as the international language of science that unites the global research community.
From this perspective, the Language Education Center (LEC) at GIST is dedicated to helping our students build the necessary skills, proficiency, and confidence to communicate effectively by providing optimal learning environments—whether in the classroom or in individual clinic sessions—where students can sharpen and refine their language skills.
By drawing on Ludwig Wittgenstein's profound insight that "The limits of my language mean the limits of my world," the LEC strives to expand our students' linguistic abilities to help them explore new opportunities for success as they pursue their studies, research, and future goals.
As the LEC Director, I wish you all the best and hope that you are inspired to learn from us at the LEC as much as we are dedicated to help you thrive!
