With the growing enrollments in Korean programs and advances in Korean as a
second language (KSL) theories, KSL has emerged as an independent academic
discipline within the field of second/foreign language studies. It is,
therefore, timely to bring researchers and practitioners together to define
the field and present the latest research in KSL. The aim of the conference is
to create a venue to present critical accounts of cutting-edge research
within the field of KSL and its major subfields.
