Visang Education is recognized as a leading provider of Korean language education in South Korea and has expanded its presence to many countries, including Vietnam. The smart Korean language classroom model (KLASS) funded by Visang Vietnam, in collaboration with KOICA, includes software and digital equipment essential for operating KLASS.

Klass (Korean – Language – Smart – Solution) is an interactive program where both students and lecturers engage in a shared space. Lectures use electronic boards while students utilize tablets for reading, listening, writing, and speaking in Korean. They can solve exercises and receive immediate feedback. Additionally, team games enhance student engagement, making Korean learning more enjoyable and relatable. The curriculum is delivered through video clips, allowing students to listen to dynamic dialogues, practice speaking, and stay focused in class. The program offers immersive experience in Korean language and culture, featuring famous destinations like Gyeongbokgung and Myeongdong, so students can get closer to Korean culture. Depending on the students’ levels, the Visang Korean language curriculum consists of six books (two each for beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels), covering essential phonetics, vocabulary, grammar, speaking, reading, and practical examples using storytelling methods, evaluating to review, and providing structured learning content for each section. The combination of Visang’s curriculum and digital learning creates a blended learning system that meets the needs of lecturers, students, and administrators, paving a new path for Korean language education.
