Basic-KLPT is a test of KLPT for beginners to evaluate the ability in commanding the basic Korean language. Accordingly, this test is targeted for examinees who have learnt Korean language for 150-200 hours rather than those who have studied or are studying Korean for a long time, and assesses whether or not examinees have basic communication ability. Basic-KLPT will provide a new social evaluation standard for a wide range of organizations, companies, and schools which intend to recruit foreign employees or Korean residents overseas or select students as well as for examinees who test their basic ability in commanding Korean. This means that the test will provide new motivation and desire for learning Korean language for those who learn Korean and give organizations, companies and schools opportunity to select recruits who adapt themselves to the place where Korean language is required.
