Assoc.Prof.Dr. Tran Huu Phuc, Rector of UFLS – UD reported on the current situation of hosting KOICA volunteers at UFLS- UD. Assoc.Prof.Dr. Tran Huu Phuc shared: “In the past few years, the University has established many cooperative relationships with partners such as KOICA, JICA, TICA, Chung Ang University (Korea), Doosan Vietnam (Korea), Social Welfare University (Japan), Wenzao Ursuline University of Languages (Tainwan), Guangxi University for Nationalities,  University of Canberra (Australia), Eckers University (USA) ... Korean language is always considered as one of the spearhead majors of UFLS-UD. In 2004, UFLS-UD developed a project to set up the Korean language group. Right in that early stage, the Korean language sector received valuable assistance and support in both facilities and human resources from KOICA.”

Over 14 years of establishment and development, to gain the current stature of the Korean language Group under the Japanese-Korean-Thai Faculty with more than 400 students and the second highest entrance score of the university, it would be a mistake not to mention the role of KOICA volunteers. Over the past 14 years, the institution has received 13 volunteers as lecturers or teaching assistants and one volunteer as librarian for the Korean Study resource Room. During their tenure at the university, the volunteers have taken part in various activities such as teaching, supporting the improvement of lesson plans, supporting young lecturers, actively participating in extracurricular activities, organizing exchange clubs, which offer a good opportunity for Korean language students to learn Korean language and culture, and assisting training courses and accompanying students in national competitions...
