Abstract

In order to expand the research area of Korean language pedagogy, this paper attempted to explore convergence research tasks with academic fields that have the commonality of Korean, such as Speech-Language Pathology and auditory studies. Speech-Language pathology is essentially an academic field that seeks ways to solve problems for people who have communication problems. Audiology is also an academic field that focuses on how to overcome communication difficulties using speech sounds based on the perception characteristics of speech sounds. As such, the need for convergence research to solve tasks that are difficult to solve independently in each academic field is great in that they are interested in the nature of Korean and its usage patterns. In the field of Speech-Language Pathology, in order to solve problems related to language development, standards for accurately measuring the degree of language development and treating people with delayed development or disabilities are needed. Although there is a need for convergence research with the Korean Language Pedagogy on how to prepare standards and guide language functions such as reading, writing, speaking, and listening, as well as essential vocabulary and grammar dlements used in everyday life, according to age and school age, such research has not been sufficiently conducted. There is no standard for treating this because it does not clearly present clear standards for language ability development, and it is difficult to present appropriate and effective educational methods in terms of educational methodology. In this regard, it was argued that future research on the development and rehabilitation methods of language development diagnostic tools should be conducted. In the field of Audiology, research related to the development of speech perception test tools is needed. For full communication, it is necessary to develop a tool that can test the communication ability of words, phrases, sentences, and discourse units beyond the stimulation of speech sounds at the phoneme level. Although there are differences in educational methods depending on the subject of education, linguistic pathology, and audiology, the fundamental content of education is very large. In the case of researchers, there may be a tendency to think that Korean language pedagogy has conducted relatively more research related to the characteristics of the Korean language than speech-language pathology and audiology. However, it is necessary to acknowledge that the research results on the nature of the Korean language required by neighboring disciplines are insignificant, and to conduct research to identify the nature and usage patterns of the Korean language through communication and cooperation with neighboring disciplines.
