Abstract
ABSTRACT This study proposes a task-based teaching approach to assist Korean language learners in effectively navigating kiosk interactions. With the growing expansion of non-face-to-face transactions, particularly driven by development in the service industry and the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a remarkable surge in kiosk installations worldwide. This study analyzed the language commonly used in kiosk settings and introducing tailored teaching methods and materials for beginner and intermediate Korean learners. The study comprises two main parts: data analysis and the proposal of teaching content. The data analysis section examines how the task of “ordering” is presented in Korean language textbooks and refines corpus data sourced by the National Institute of Korean Language (2022). Specifically, the study analyzes kiosk language, identifying lexical morphemes (nouns, verbs, and adjectives), significant collocations, verb endings, and dependent nouns based on frequency. In the teaching content section, the study presents educational materials grounded in task-based teaching to facilitate direct engagement with kiosks for practicing ordering food and beverages in authentic scenarios. The significance of this study lies in its exploration of pervasive kiosk-related issues in Korea, providing learners with practical language skills essential for navigating modern society.
