Abstract

This teaching report on Korean language online illustrates processes of course preparation, teaching online, and issues encountered while teaching Korean language online in Finland. AsiaNet, the Finnish University Network for Asian Studies has organized a Korean language course for elementary level online since the fall semester of 2016. I prepared teaching materials for the course in the summer of 2016 and have taught the class for the fall semester of 2017. In the paper, firstly, I introduce some characteristics of the institution AsiaNet, background and features of teaching Korean online in Finland. Secondly, I discuss course planning from two pedagogical concepts: the content-centred teaching and the learning-focused approach to teaching. Thirdly, the paper reflects technology and learning through discussing teaching online, evaluation and interaction with students online. Finally, issues encountered while teaching Korean online will be addressed.
