The Australian Curriculum: Korean is pitched to second language learners. However, teachers cater for learners of different backgrounds by making appropriate adjustments to differentiate learning experiences for these students.
Korean is the language of one of Australia’s important neighbours in the Asian region and is spoken by around 80 million people worldwide and by more than 150 000 people in Australia.
Among young learners in Australia, there has been a significant increase in the popularity of Korean culture, including traditional and youth/pop culture, and an increasing awareness of possible career opportunities for those who have attained a high level of proficiency in the Korean language and a sound intercultural understanding.
The Korean language has its own alphabetic writing system called Hangeul. Hangeul consists of 24 basic letters, comprising 14 basic consonants and 10 basic vowels. Learning Hangeul involves learning how to combine consonants and vowels to produce a syllable in Korean, which corresponds to a syllabic block in its written form.
The Australian Curriculum: Korean is pitched to second language learners. However, teachers cater for learners of different backgrounds by making appropriate adjustments to differentiate learning experiences for these students.
The curriculum is designed with an intercultural language learning orientation to enable students to participate meaningfully in intercultural experiences, to develop new ways of seeing and being in the world and to understand more about themselves in the process.
