토픽 모델링과 언어 네트워크 분석을 활용한 재중동포 대상 한국어교육 연구 동향 분석

Abstract

The study aims to analyze the trends of Korean language education research targeting Korean Chinese using topic modeling and language network analysis. To this end, a total of 203 papers related to Korean language education on Korean Chinese were analyzed to understand research trends according to the period. The analysis results are as follows: First, in the first period (2001-2012), discussions related to the use of Korean in the Chinese community including Yanbian prevailed, but in the second period (2013-2021), discussions related to Korean Chinese who are living in Korea including children from multicultural families were actively discussed. Secondly, the focus of the study on Korean Chinese who have settled in Korea is changing from the study of Korean Chinese living in China. In addition, while the former mainly focused on adult learners above college, the latter was diversified from the category of multicultural families to studies on various age groups such as Korean Chinese mothers, children, and teenager immigrants who are incorporated into secondary education in Korea. Thirdly, in terms of research fields, while studies on language use, current status increased, studies on learner language characteristics, learning and adaptation decreased. Through this, it can be seen that studies on language development, acquisition, and language use based on characteristics of individual learners of Korean Chinese who have recently settled in Korea and are learning or speaking Korean for various purposes are more focused.
