The OIA has built a qualified, knowledgeable, and supportive faculty where collaboration is valued to design curriculum relevant to our students' needs.

Courses
Practical English Communication (PEC) is a 2-credit, 3-hour-per-week course required for graduation, typically taken in the freshman year. We teach conversation, essay writing, and presentation skills. The target level for this course is CEFR A2-B1. Students are mainly Korean, with some international students as well.
Electives
Some teachers may be asked to teach a for-credit elective course. Elective courses include conversation, reading and writing, travel English, business English, and more. The classes are unlevelled; however, students typically range from CEFR B1-C1 and are a mix of Korean and international students.
Major Specific English Courses
Some teachers may be asked to teach a credit course within one major. These often include, but are not limited to, test-taking skills such as IELTS.
