This study aims to examine the diverse types of available online tools in synchronous Korean language classes and propose practical application methods. Research on synchronous Korean classes in Korean language education began at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and studies have demonstrated that active interactions are necessary for successful online classes. Applications such as Zoom, Google Meet, and Webex are used by default in online classes, but Google Docs, Google Forms, Padlet and Mentimeter can also be used to promote interaction. In this paper, these tools were utilized for small group conversations, simple response displays, data retrieval and sharing, memo boards, questionnaires/ statistics, mind maps, and quizzes. To demonstrate each tool’s application in the Korean classes, a section of “Sejong Korean Conversation” was used as an example. Before the class, Zoom’s annotation function or Padlet’s memo function was used to enhance familiarity and bring attention to the teacher’s presence. During the introduction phase, Mentimeter’s survey, wordcloud, and mind-mapping function were used to generate interest in the topic and activate background knowledge. At the activity/task level, Google Docs was used for engaged discussion. In the final phase, Padlet and Google Survey were used to receive feedback about the lesson or perform a self-assessment.
