Korean language education, where the communicative approach is one of the dominant methods, has emphasized more on the delivery of meaning than the accuracy of the pronunciation and has neglected the education for the pronunciation as a result. Nevertheless, the precise pronunciation is essential to convey the correct meaning in conversation. The mistakes, which mid-level Chinese students often make in Korean nasalization, are discussed in the following thesis and the educational methods for Chinese students are proposed at this point of view. The accuracy of the pronunciation will be improved by the educational methods and will lead to the effective communication, which is the main purpose of the thesis. The analysis of the pronunciation errors, using the Korean nasalization rule, will help to select the pronunciation curriculum of Korean language and its content as well. And eventually, this will contribute to Korean language education.
