Ministry of Education, National Institute for International Education_Status of Applicants for the Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK)
This data compiles the status of the Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK) over the past five years, categorized by paper-based (PBT), internet-based (IBT), and speaking (SPK) assessment. The first data compiles the status of TOPIK I and II test takers worldwide by country, year, and test, allowing for insights into Korean language learning demand and international expansion trends. The second data covers the IBT TOPIK test takers, which began in 2023. This test, which was piloted in some countries, is gradually expanding as an alternative to the existing test. The third data compiles data on the speaking assessment, which began in 2022. While currently primarily administered in Korea, it is highly likely to expand in the future. In each data, blanks indicate countries or test dates where the test is not available, indicating that data for that item is unavailable. This data can be used as a foundational resource for Korean language education policymaking, demand analysis, and overseas expansion strategies.
