Abstract

This study examined the current situation of foreign language education , teacher training and education in Korea and China. The analysis and comparison of both countries’ s educational policies, problems, and improvement strategies revealed aspects requiring attention for both Korea and China. When laying down and enforcing foreign language education policies in the future, more attention should be paid to rigorous systematization of the foreign language curriculum. Furthermore, in the context of increasingly intensifying globalization, it is necessary to diversify foreign language subject options so that students can learn various foreign languages and improve their multicultural awareness. Finally, foreign language teacher training and education should be promoted more intensively to empower them with the competence and qualifications necessary to make them excellent teachers and important agents in delivering foreign language education to learners.
