On October 1st, 2010,  Dongguk University established the 'English Zone' in Hyehwa Hall.  The purpose of this area is for DU students to improve their English by having conversation about various topics. It's open from 9am to 5pm on weekdays.  Foreign professors visit the 'English Zone' all the time, and students can talk with them about any topic. They can also receive counsel and advice concerning any problems they may be having with English. Each teacher has different areas of expertise and students are sure to find a topic which interests them. The 'English Zone' is free for all students and advanced sign-up is not necessary, just drop by when you have time.
