The Korean Language Program has been developed through the adoption of CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) pedagogy since 2015. In this program, students learn Science through Korean language activities.
We also engage via video conferencing with our sister schools in Daegu every fortnight. Through virtual tools using Webex, students plan, share, discuss, and present various topics to their Korean friends.
Students in grades 3 to 6 participate in webcam lessons at Chelsea Primary School. Students learn how to communicate with students from other countries, which gives them opportunities to use their Korean language skills practically at school.
At the end of the year, all CPS students exchanged handmade gifts and cards. The students built strong relationships with Korean students in this project and hence improved their language skills with strong motivations and engagement.
All students from Prep to Grade 6 have one hour of CLIL (Korean) lessons. Every year, in Term 4, we celebrate Korean Day, which is one of the most significant events at CPS. All students participate, perform and enjoy the Korean Day assembly, a Korean BBQ Lunch and Korean lollies. Each classroom teacher prepares a special cultural lesson about Korean culture (Korean Art, dance, music and games). Students, parents, and the Chelsea community are welcome to join us in celebrating our Korean Day!
