The King Sejong Institute Foundation will administer its 13th Sejong Korean Language Assessment on Sept. 19 at 14 testing centers across seven cities and provinces, expanding access for foreign learners in Korea. Applications opened Monday at 9 a.m. and will remain available through Sept. 6 at 11:59 p.m. through the Sejong Korean Language Assessment website. The foundation introduced the assessment in Korea for the first time this year, after previously administering it only overseas, and the September test will be the second domestic administration following the June session. The number of testing centers has increased to 14 from five, the foundation said, as demand for Korean-language proficiency testing grows among foreign learners living in Korea. The Sejong Korean Language Assessment measures communication skills in four areas: listening, reading, writing and speaking. Scores are being used as eligibility criteria for admission, graduation and entry into majors by international students at universities including Korea University, Yonsei University and Ewha Womans University, accordin
