2024 Australia-Korea Online Class Exchange Case Presentation Competiti…

The Sydney Korean Education Centre is dedicated to providing students who are diligently learning Korean in regular schools with the opportunity to learn, practice, and communicate with students in Korea through online language exchanges. At the same time, the program offers Korean students a chance to practice English. We are focusing on online international exchanges to help students grow into global democratic citizens with an international mindset.

To discover the teaching expertise of teachers who are conducting online class exchanges and to explore ways to share this with teachers who are interested in starting online international exchanges, we are hosting the 2024 Australia-Korea Online Class Exchange Case Presentation Competition.

This competition will not only enhance the international exchange and teaching expertise of teachers who are interested in or already using Korean in their classrooms, but also provide significant help to teachers in sharing their teaching know-how.

We sincerely ask for the active participation and interest of teachers who are committed to providing high-quality education to students.
