Amid the growing popularity of Korean pop songs and dramas, more educational centers to teach the Korean language will be established around the world.

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism said Monday that it will set up ten more facilities called “Sejonghakdang,” in nine countries, including France and China, starting from September. Currently, 28 Sejonghakdangs are operating in 16 countries.

The culture ministry plans to produce and begin using from September a standard Korean language textbook that will be commonly used in all Sejonghakdangs around the world.
