외국인을 위한 한국어 교육 기반 융합교육 프로그램 개발 연구

초록

Korean universities are required to develop techniques for how to better teach Korean language to international students who no longer function as a variable but an invariant in the process. There is a strong need to organize and provide Korean language as a major course rather than teaching Korean as part of general basic courses. This study explores in what ways Korean language education should be taught as a major course on the basis of needs analysis and case studies conducted at Hanyang University which provides foreign students with a Business and Korean Language Communication program. Furthermore, the current study attempts to make suggestions for a better curriculum based on the results of a needs analysis and reflection on the experience of organizing the interdisciplinary Korean language major at the university. This paper discusses three major themes: 1) the needs and appropriate levels for offering the major to foreign students; 2) the difficulties which international students go through such as developing Korean speaking and writing skills; and 3) the career development and future improvement for foreign students appropriate for the purpose of their studying. In conclusion, this study introduces an interdisciplinary Korean language program for foreign students in Korea and explores current achievements and future curriculum developments.
