Why “Korean language education” (“Uri-mal” education)?
Within schools in Korea, the field has long been called guk-eo gyoyuk (Korean language education in the national curriculum), while outside schools and around the world it has often been treated separately as hanguk-eo gyoyuk (Korean language education as a foreign or second language).
We aim to bring these strands together and adopt a broad view that spans from kindergarten to university, from adult learners to those learning Korean as a foreign language. Learning to speak and write should not be separated; it needs to remain connected wherever it takes place.
