The purpose of this study is to propose Korean cultural education plans using regional cultural resources suitable for Korean language learners residing in the Gangwon region. In this study, as the first step, a teaching model for Korean cultural education using regional culture resources was proposed. Assuming that cultural education using regional cultural resources targets foreigners residing in the Gangwon region, the target learners will be very diverse. In addition, the institutions providing teaching and the contexts of teaching will be inevitably diverse as well. A modular teaching model flexibly applicable to such diverse contexts was designed. In addition, a plan enabling modules to be variously combined to freely construct teaching in a way conforming to each unit topic or teaching purpose was proposed. As the next step, contents of cultural education that can be provided using the regional culture of the Gangwon region were selected and proposed. As the final step, a teaching plan enabling the application of a modular teaching model to the topics selected within contents of education were proposed. This study is significant in that it proposed effective teaching models and contents of education enabling the provision of regional cultural education to foreign learners residing in the Gangwon region.

This study focuses on the phenomenon of tensification that occurs when pronouncing compound words with linguistic forms such as ‘X-gage’ (X store), ‘X-jip’ (X house), and ‘X-guk’ (X soup), which are introduced early in Korean language learning. The study aims to formalize this phonological change and propose effective teaching methods for Korean language learners. Tensification in compound words has often been excluded from educational content due to the difficulty of establishing clear rules. Additionally, existing teaching methods for compound word tensification, which have been developed for Korean language learners, tend to present large amounts of linguistic information alongside academic terminology, making them less applicable to general- purpose Korean learners. Therefore, this study proposes teaching the regularity of tensification in these compound words by presenting the semantic relationship between the two nouns in compounds like ‘X-gage’, ‘X-jip’, and ‘X-guk’, rather than explaining the phonological environment between the words. Furthermore, the study points out the non-standard spelling of ‘X-gage’, ‘X-jip’, and ‘X-guk’ words commonly used by Koreans in everyday life and suggests that both non-standard and standard spellings related to the ‘saisiot’ (ㅅ) insertion rule should be taught together. Additionally, it recommends visualizing the two nouns that form the compound words through illustrations to enhance learning efficiency. Finally, the study presents practical teaching plan that can be utilized in real educational settings based on the proposed teaching methods. (Ewha Womans University)

This study uses ChatGPT, a generative AI, as a learning feedback tool to develop a practice model and customized feedback prompt to improve learners’ TOPIK speaking ability, and to verify its effectiveness through 8 educational experiments. As a research method, the pre-evaluation and post-evaluation results of 10 experimental groups and 10 control groups that did not apply the practice model were compared and analyzed, targeting 20 Chinese learners at the middle and high level based on TOPIK. To this end, the analysis was conducted in a quantitative and qualitative way through the corresponding sample t-test and interview. As a result, the experimental group showed a remarkably more pronounced improvement effect than the control group in the pre-evaluation and post-evaluation results, and significantly higher improvement scores than the control group in three evaluation factors: content and task performance, language use, and speech delivery power. In addition, even in the post-interview of the experimental group, the participants of the experiment showed a positive response to this practice model. This study proved that the use of feedback functions of AI tools such as ChatGPT in the TOPIK speaking education field can substantially help Korean learners improve TOPIK speaking learning ability and is meaningful in showing the potential of AI-based learning tools in TOPIK speaking learning.

This study is about the correlation between perception of Korea, Korean language, and Korean culture and Korean classes satisfaction. To this end, a total of 30 Korean language learners who had completed or had experience taking Korean language classes in Korea were surveyed to determine Korean classes satisfaction and perceptions of Korea, the Korean language, and Korean culture. And after the survey analysis, an interview was conducted. This study verified whether there was a correlation between Korean classes satisfaction and the following areas: Korean pride, psychological belonging, language identity, and cultural identity. As a result, Korean pride and psychological belonging did not show a correlation with Korean classes satisfaction, but language identity and cultural identity showed a correlation with Korean classes satisfaction. In particular, it showed a stronger correlation with language identity than with cultural identity, but this is significant because such research results have never been reported.

Korean language education has been established in Vietnamese universities for 30 years. With high demand for Korean, there has been a rapid increase in universities and Sejong Institutes, and Korean is now promoted as a primary foreign language in elementary and secondary schools. This paper reviews research trends on Korean language education in Vietnam over the past 30 years, focusing on academic journals and comparing the contributions of Vietnamese and Korean researchers. It also assesses the current state of Korean language education across universities and elementary and secondary schools. This paper identifies key challenges in the growing field of Korean language education in Vietnam. These include shortages in faculty, qualifications, and teacher retraining, necessitating systematic training to meet increasing demand in schools. Additionally, there is a need for localized curricula and textbooks for various educational levels and settings. Furthermore, adjustments to the educational system are required to address the needs of university students with advanced Korean proficiency. (Hankuk University of Foreign Studies)

This study aims to analyze and propose improvements for the Korean language assessment system targeted at Vietnamese high school students. The research focuses on identifying current challenges and inefficiencies in the existing evaluation methods and suggesting comprehensive strategies to enhance the effectiveness and fairness of the assessments. Chapter 2 discusses the exam's characteristics, while Chapter 3 analyzes the test items by types. Chapter 4 identifies problems and proposes solutions. Given that Korean is a language chosen by many Vietnamese examinees, the issue of evaluation is of significant importance. By analyzing the problems within the Korean language subject and suggesting improvements, this study are to contribute to the continuous development of the exam operation system in Vietnam.

For international students to thrive in their academic endeavors, proficiency in Korean writing is indispensable. However, the way writing classes are conducted may sometimes become dull or passive, potentially diminishing students’ interest in writing itself. This study aims to address this issue by focusing on bolstering learners’ confidence in their own writing abilities, known as writing self-efficacy, through peer feedback activities in writing classes. To achieve this goal, the writing self-efficacy of foreign exchange students enrolled in a Korean language class at a university in the Seoul metropolitan area was assessed prior to implementing a series of five writing classes with a specific procedure. After providing students with a foundational understanding of peer feedback, the writing classes were conducted. Subsequently, a post-assessment of writing self-efficacy was carried out, and the results were analyzed across categories such as ‘interest and anxiety in writing’, ‘writing skills and performance’, and ‘vicarious experience and social persuasion’. This study also offers insights into considerations for integrating peer feedback activities into classes, based on the analysis of the post-assessment of writing self-efficacy, with implications for enhancing the effectiveness of such activities.
