Abstract

With the increasing exchanges in the fields of politics, economy and culture between Korea and China, the Korean language education in China has increased rapidly. At the same time, Korean language education needs more advanced education concepts and new curriculum to provide students with a high quality Korean language learning environment. Checking and supplementing the contents and effectiveness of the curriculum is a necessary condition to maximize education effects and foster high-level Korean talents who can communicate in a high-level manner. But there are not many previous studies that suggest improvement about Korean language curriculum of Chinese universities through needs analysis. The purpose of this study is to find an efficient improvement plan for the curriculum of the Korean language department of Chinese universities through needs analysis with the curriculum of Korean language department of Y University, which is recognized for its relatively high proficiency in China. To this end, detailed questionnaire surveys and interviews were conducted on two groups of students and teachers with six items such as ‘curriculum goal’, ‘course setting’, ‘classroom lecture’, ‘self-learning’, ‘capability evaluation’, and ‘textbook satisfaction’. Through the analysis of the results, we identified students and teachers’ perceptions and needs of the curriculum and derived problems of the curriculum. We also presented reasonable improvement directions to problems of the curriculum identified through this needs analysis.
