Teaching Korean to Speakers of Other Languages- A Quest for New Directions -

Abstract

The present study is primarily an attempt to identify major problem areas in foreign-based undergraduate programs of Korean for speakers of other languages. It also aims to come up with a set of suggestions to help these undergraduate Korean-language programs abroad to steer clear of the problem areas thus identified. The present study draws on a questionnaire/ interview survey as well as the experience of the researcher as a former teacher of Korean to speakers of other languages.
