The HK+ Project Group of the Korean Hanja Research Institute at Kyungsung University conducted the "2nd Children's Hanja Class" course at the Bunpo Elementary School library from June 16 to July 14.


This course was taught by Kim Hee-joo, director of the Inbon Social Research Institute, and was designed to help children easily learn Hanja used in daily life and develop an interest in Hanja.


The teaching method primarily involved exploring and learning the meanings of Hanja and Hanja words through fairy tales and stories.


The Hanja class course was composed of five main themes: "Curious About the Future," "Understand My Heart," "Love Letters," "A Society Where SF Becomes Reality," and "Rambling," each addressing different aspects of Hanja and Hanja words to enhance learners' language learning and expression skills.


Various programs were conducted in each class, including discussions about future careers, appropriate language use, writing letters to one's future self in Hanja words, and expressing urgent issues using Hanja words.

Twenty upper-grade students from Bunpo Elementary School participated in the course. The students unanimously said, "We became interested in Hanja, and it was fun to actively write the Hanja we learned."


Professor Hong Yoo-bin, head of the Korean Hanja Research Institute Regional Humanities Center, which managed the course, stated, "Our center plans to open children's Hanja classes again in the second half of this year to help elementary school children acquire language skills and understand concepts through Hanja."



The Korean Hanja Research Institute HK+ Project Group plans to gradually expand and distribute Hanja classes to several elementary schools in Nam-gu and Suyeong-gu districts of Busan, which are geographically close to Kyungsung University.
