학문 목적 한국어 학습자를 위한 예비과정 경영학 교재 개발 기초 연구

Abstract

This study aims to suggest directions of developing textbooks in the preparatory course for international students preparing to major in business administration at the university. To this end, this study conducted a preliminary survey to evaluate international learners’ Korean language proficiency and their academic performance, as well as their perception of learning Korean for academic purposes. The survey findings revealed that learners had a limited understanding of business administration vocabulary and collocations. In addition, many learners did not write any sentence on their answer sheet, while some did not even know how to write the answer sheets primarily due to a lack of familiarity with academic writing conventions. The results of the perception survey also revealed that learners have difficulty in collating words related to business administration, recognizing the writing function as one of the most important skills for succeeding in their undergraduate studies, and feeling the necessity of a preliminary university course for international students majoring in business administration. Based on the results of the survey, this paper proposes the directions for development of textbooks in the preparatory course.
