INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

Korean is becoming more and more popular as a second language with people all over the world
starting to learn it in order to develop their careers, learn about another culture or even
understand their favorite movie stars. Korean TV drama is popular all over Asia and gaining
popularity in other parts of the world, too.

Korean (한국어/조선말, see below) is the official language of Korea, both south and
North. It is also one of the two official languages in the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture
in People's Republic of China. There are about 78 million Korean speakers worldwide. In the
15th century, a national writing system was commissioned by Sejong the Great, the system
being currently called Hangul. Prior to the development of Hangul, Koreans had used Hanja and
phonetic systems like Hyangchal, Gugyeol and Idu extensively for over a millennium.

The actual language itself is interesting from an academic point of view, too. Hangul, the
most widely-used Korean writing system is a fantastic piece of linguistic design. The characters
are very clear, and easy to read and write. 1800 characters from the older writing system, hanja,
are also still taught in schools and present a challenge to even the most experience language
learners.

What is the importance of learning a new language? This question does not have just a
single answer because there are evidently numerous reasons why learning a new language is
important not only in the academe but as well outside the halls of education.

1.2 Problem Statement

Department Content Compliance does not currently have an official class of teaching and
learning Korean language. The department recognized the need to set up a class a class since
over the past few months, Korean movies and television series have increasingly become more
popular. The trend has even risen as blockbuster films including Hollywood productions were
starred by Korean actors and actresses. Then on, Korean culture has been embraced by millions
of audiences as the entertainment industry integrated them in films, shows and even music.

 PROJECT TEACHING & LEARNING KOREAN LANGUAGE

In the recent stage, there are 2 Korean channels in our department which are KBSW and
ONE HD. And none of content compliance employee is understand Korean language. One of the
consequences of this is we doesn’t understand the content of the drama show in both this
channels.

1.3 Objectives

Given the importance of understanding the Korean language among the employees, it is unlikely
that demonstrable results will be possible in the short term. During this year, emphasis will be
placed on setting up the project, hiring tutors to teach, and evaluating the learning progression

language:

 Better understanding in Korean language in aspects of cultural and reveals customs,

traditions, beliefs and other relevant information.
 Able to monitoring, capturing and marking all censored materials as well as distortion
from incoming satellite transmission for this both Korean channels.
 Ensuring that no operational and content errors go on air for the entire working hours.
 Set up and implement the learning class to effectively deploy the learned language.
