Overview
Korean is spoken by approximately 80 million people in the Korean Peninsula and worldwide. With the rapidly growing popularity of and interest in Korean culture across the world, the number of people learning Korean is also growing fast in many countries in Asia, Oceania, the North and South Americas, Europe and Africa. In Australia, Korean is spoken by more than 150 000 people, and the presence of the Korean culture and language, together with Korean brands of high-technology products, is increasingly evident in various sectors of society. Please refer to
Learning in Korean for further information.
The Victorian Curriculum F–10 Korean has two interrelated strands, Communicating and Understanding, which are further divided into sub-strands. The Korean curriculum recognises that there are different entry points into language learning across F–10, which reflects current language teaching practice.
There are two possible learning sequences:
- F–10 sequence for students who begin to learn the language in primary school and continue to Year 10
- 7–10 sequence for students who begin to learn the language in Year 7.
The Languages curriculum can be viewed on the Victorian Curriculum F–10 website
