The objective of this study is to provide effective teaching methods for Korean adnominal endings for foreigners through an error analysis of Korean learners'' composition and analysis of Korean language textbooks.In the first chapter, the objectives and need of this study were described and the subject and procedures of research were explained followed by previous research review.In Chapter 2, a theoretical background for Korean adnominal endings, which have been analyzed from various angles, and error analysis theory, a basis of research methodology, were described, while a theoretical ground that this study was based upon was being presented. This study followed the theory that in considerations of efficiency of teaching and learning Korean, classifies Korean adnominal endings into 4 types;‘-(으)ㄴ’, ‘-는’, ‘-(으)ㄹ’, and ‘-던’. Also this study intensively analysed errors occurring in Intralingual Transfer, adopting the position that these 4 types of adnominal endings function to represent not only tense but also aspects, modality, and moods.In Chapter 3, a factor analysis was conducted first for each type of errors. And then errors and usages in various types of context where adnominal endings were used were analysed.Errors were categorized into 6 groups; Omissions, Changing expressions, Misformations, Additions, Replacements, and Others. After the analysis, it was found that Replacements appeared most frequently, especially with ‘-던’. Misformations, Omissions, Additions, Others, and Changing expressions, were also observed, which was actually listed in order of frequency.Contexts where adnominal endings were frequently used included relative adnominal clauses, idiomatic expressions, appositive adnominal clauses, norminalizers, and fixed expressions, which was arranged in order of frequency of adnominal endings. Errors were detected in appositive adnominal clauses most frequently, followed by norminalizers, relative adnominal clauses, idiomatic expressions, and fixed expressions in ascending order.In Chapter 4, basic insights for adnominal endings and characteristics of grammar presentations found in Korean language textbooks were analyzed first. And then based upon the results of these analyses, including the error analysis from the previous chapters, effective teaching methods were suggested to improve learners competency of adnominals, especially ‘-던’ and appositive adnominal clauses where learners often had most difficulties.In Chapter 5, the entire results of the study were summarized. In conclusion, for future researches, several suggestions were presented along with the limitations of this study.
