Abstract

This Paper is a basic research for Vietnamese university`s Korean textbook development, which has its focus on finding the direction of how to develop a localized textbook through understanding the local characteristics and researching the needs of textbook users. A typical Korean education lesson in Vietnamese university focuses on language skills such as speaking, listening, reading and writing. The length of class hours varies between 8 to 25 hours per week. To reflect on this local characteristics, even if the textbook is multi-skilled, the units should be organized so it could easily concentrate on one skill. Also, it is desirable to let the class flexibly control the amount of study by using the workbook with the main textbook. According to the teacher, learner needs analysis, it is crucial to develop a workbook, audio CD and/or cassette tape together with the text. It also shows that pronunciation, speaking, listening, grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, etc should be included in the textbook. In addition, local situations should be dealt as well as the Korean situation. As for the language practice form, the learners has shown preference on detailed grammar explanations, translation exercises, and pair or group activities. Other than the above, it is recommended to use contrastive linguistics information for grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, etc, and rather than enforcing the Korean culture, it is recommended to introduce Korean culture by letting students to compare and contrast their Vietnamese culture to Korean.
