I started this research with the question of how a theory of teaching Korean language as a toreign language can be developed. As it is related with other fields of Korean studies such as history and culture and is rooted in practice learning expeiences, it is not easy to define an intellectual framework for Korean language teaching. However in this dissertation, I propose exactly to incorporate these interdisciplinary and practical application features intp a systematic theory for Korean language teaching. Is is my opinion that curent theories regarding Korean language teaching do not adequately address these issues.
I address my research about Korean language teaching tto its location, teaching spot, teaching/learning theory, teacher/leamer, level of aim and teaching merhod. I evealuate current Korean language teaching theories, question some of its effectiveness and propise my own theory. As this is only an introductory delve into Korean languahe teaching teform. I focus more on commenting on the present state of Korean language teaching rather than developing an elaborate new theory. Hopefully later a more in depth difcussion regarding Korean language teaching can occur after this kind of overiew study has provided a basis for this newly explored field of education.
