This study aims to analyze the current status of Korean presentation education and learners' educational needs among students majoring in Korean Language and Korean Studies at universities in Vietnam, and to propose a syllabus development plan for Korean presentation education based on the findings.
To achieve this objective, previous studies on Korean presentation education and syllabus design were reviewed, and the theoretical background related to presentations was examined. To investigate the current status of Korean presentation education in Vietnamese universities, interviews were conducted with six instructors teaching in Korean Language or Korean Studies departments. In addition, surveys and in-depth interviews were conducted with 90 undergraduate students, 24 employees working at Korean companies, and 20 graduate students studying in Korea to analyze their perceptions of Korean presentations and their educational needs for Korean presentation education.
The findings indicated that Korean presentation education in Vietnamese universities is currently offered either as independent courses or as presentation activities integrated into major courses. However, in most cases, presentation education remains fragmented and unsystematic. Although learners showed relatively positive performance in areas such as slide design and presentation attitude, they still experienced difficulties in core presentation competencies, including content organization, the use of linguistic elements, and audience interaction. Furthermore, all three groups–students, employees, and graduate students–recognized a strong need for Korean presentation education and commonly emphasized the necessity of a systematic and practice-oriented independent Korean presentation course.
Based on these findings, this study developed a 15-week syllabus for Korean presentation education targeting third-year and fourth-year students majoring in Korean Language and Korean Studies at universities in Vietnam,
This study is significant in that it provides a comprehensive analysis of the current status and needs of Korean presentation education for Vietnamese learners majoring in Korean Language and Korean Studies and proposes a practical syllabus applicable to actual educational settings. It is expected that proposed syllabus will serve as foundational data for future Korean presentation education and related research in Vietnamese universities.
