KOICA, 'Korean Language Delivered Abroad' Online Volunteer Activity... Collaboration with Sejong Institute
Over 100 Korean Language Volunteers Provide Online Lectures to Learners in Existing Deployment Areas
[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] KOICA announced on the 4th that it is collaborating with the Sejong Institute Foundation to provide teacher training courses to KOICA Korean language volunteers who returned home due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and support the volunteers to offer Korean online education to overseas learners.
KOICA and the Sejong Institute Foundation are jointly promoting Korean language and culture dissemination projects through KOICA volunteers to actively respond to the changing external environment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and to enhance the effectiveness of public participation projects.
The two organizations are operating this remote volunteer activity to enable KOICA overseas volunteers who returned home due to COVID-19 to continue their volunteer work and sustain overseas Korean language education. About 100 Korean language volunteers who returned home will open Korean language classes targeting learners in their previously assigned regions through the online Sejong Institute in November, allowing overseas learners to receive Korean lessons.
To this end, KOICA and the Sejong Institute Foundation provided a teacher training course to strengthen the educational capabilities of KOICA Korean language education volunteers for three weeks in October. Approximately 116 volunteers took courses related to Korean language and Korean education lectures through the online Sejong Institute platform, as well as a Taekwondo instructor capacity development course in cooperation with the Taekwondo Promotion Foundation.
