Abstract

As a basic study for the development of Korean language diagnostic evaluation, this study presents an argument for a Korean language diagnostic evaluation through a review of SPOT (Simple PerformanceOriented Test), an immediate answerdemand test that reflects language management ability. The purpose of the study is to suggest the necessity and direction of diagnostic evaluation that can grasp the Korean language ability of Korean learners through a survey of instructors' perceptions of diagnostic evaluation. To this end, an online survey was conducted on 20 Korean language instructors. As a result of analyzing the survey, 50% of the respondents said they used TOPIK, which was developed as a proficiency test, but at the same time, existing evaluation papers such as TOPIK also raised problems such as the difficulty of the test, burden of scoring time, and long test time. On the other hand, as a result of analyzing the free text data on the reason after selecting one between ease of use and accuracy of diagnosis in diagnostic evaluation, the Korean language instructors' choice was divided into half. Finally, regarding the development of a new diagnostic evaluation tool, instructors wanted to develop diagnostic evaluation tools for various purposes and wanted tools that are easy to use and convenient for actual classes. In the end, this study suggests the development of an online evaluation tool, a form of WebSPOT used in Japanese language education to reflect the needs of these instructors as part of the future development of diagnostic evaluation tools in Korean language education.
