Overview:
Korean is a popular TY module, offered in seven schools in Dublin
and Wicklow. PPLI supports Korean teachers with CPD, training
and mentoring sessions. PPLI also works with the Korean
Embassy to promote the Korean language and culture education
in post-primary schools and beyond.
Main Aims:
•
Give post-primary schools access to TY Korean module
•
Provide students with an opportunity to learn about Korean
language and culture both in the target language environment
and around themselves
•
Raise awareness of Korean language and culture in the school and local community
Activity:
In 2022, a PPLI Korean teacher delivered a number of
workshops about Korean traditional and modern fashion
(e.g., Hanbok and modern clothing), calligraphy and artwork
(e.g., mask for traditional dancing, paper Hanbok and
lantern), food culture (e.g., Korean cuisine and making) and
invited guest speakers (e.g., Korean ambassador, Irish veteran
of Korean War) to enrich the TY Korean module.
Impact:
Student comments:

Korean language and how to write it’
•

together with cultural history is interesting’
