Abstract

This study aimed to enhance the teaching and learning of the Korean language by analyzing an actual case of learning Korean through online language exchange. Most previous research on language exchange has involved participants meeting and engaging in activities face-to-face. However, this study implemented an online video language exchange program as an out-of-class activity for students at A University in the U.S. and B University in Korea. It was conducted six times during the fall semester of 2023. A post-activity survey and informal interviews with participating students confirmed that the language exchange improved learners’ Korean speaking skills and cultural comprehension. This study is meaningful as it introduces an online language exchange activity where college students from the U.S. and Korea cooperatively studied virtually, overcoming geographical barriers, and providing practical case examples. The study results are expected to develop various learning strategies and improve teaching modules for learning Korean in the era of technological advancement.
