Innovative Methods in Korean Language Teaching
showcases research-based and experience-based contributions and reflections on the potential of adopting technological and non-technological innovations to promote Korean language students’ learning.
The chapters included in this book consider a wide range of innovative technologies and approaches, such as large language models, virtual reality solutions, metaverse platforms, multimodal teaching, and critical pedagogy, and represent a variety of geographical learning contexts from North America to Europe, from Korea to the broader Asia-Pacific region. Overall, these contributions make the case for embracing new technologies instead of banning them and for accepting pedagogical shifts that take into consideration contemporary understandings of the communication, teaching, and learning processes.
This book will be of interest to graduate students, researchers, and practitioners of Korean language education and to those working on language teaching and learning in general, to inform future teaching practices through careful consideration of contemporary technologies and teaching approaches.
