Korean language education and computer-assisted language learning: research, practice and resources

Abstract

This article looks into trends and issues in the use of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) for Korean language education and explores current developments of research and practice in online Korean language education. It points out that there is a significant lack of studies investigating the learning and teaching of Korean as a second/foreign language (KSL/KFL) in CALL environments and suggests that a number of approaches to CALL should be adopted and implemented in KSL/KFL classrooms. It also presents some online resources, including a resource Website developed for Korean language and studies education in Australia through the National Asian Languages and Studies in Schools Program (NALSSP) funded by the Australian Government.
