Summary:
Celebrating its 30th anniversary, the Korean Language Promotion Foundation (Chairperson Monica Ryu) held a grand opening ceremony on July 14 at its newly purchased standalone building on Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles. Chairperson Ryu emphasized plans to offer free Korean language classes to underserved non-Korean communities and continue teacher training and Korean language expansion in U.S. schools.
California State Senator Steven Choi attended the event, delivered a congratulatory message, and presented an official certificate of recognition. The building was made possible through community donations and proceeds from the “Epic Korean” textbook, which is officially adopted by LAUSD.
The foundation aims to establish more Korean language classes, launch AP Korean, and further promote Korean language, culture, and history, especially among non-Korean communities. Past achievements include leading the adoption of SAT2 Korean, publishing educational materials, and running teacher immersion programs in Korea.
