Online Korean Course debuts!

Thanks to a partnership between the NFLRC and the Center for Urban Language Teaching & Research (CULTR) at Georgia State University, high schools in the U.S. will soon have access to two new online Korean language courses through the North Carolina Virtual Public School (NCVPS). This exciting project, developed over the past few years, responds directly to growing student interest in Korean language.

Korean 1 opened in January 2026, and Korean 2 will debut in Fall 2026. Both feature engaging graphics and authentic dialogues voiced by South Korean high school students—bringing culture and language to life in a dynamic online setting. Because NCVPS is part of the national Virtual Learning Leadership Alliance (VLLA), these courses have the potential to be adopted by schools across the country, greatly expanding their reach and impact.

In addition to enhancing opportunities for students, this initiative also supports professional growth for Korean language teachers involved in the project, who are able to gain valuable experience in online course development and digital teaching practices—skills that are increasingly vital in today’s educational landscape.
