The purpose of this study is to apply the study in Korean education by analyzing conversation among migrant workers in Korea. Though the number of migrant workers in Korea has been on the rise, their residential condition in Korea and educational circumstance of Korean language are undesirable for some reasons. This study shows what aspect migrant workers take in speaking Korean by analyzing their discourse in order to teach them Korean language more effectively. This paper consists of the theoretical backdrop of turn taking based on the aspect of turn taking in verbal discourse of migrant workers (Chapter 3), the aspect of turn taking in verbal discourse of migrant workers (Chapter 4), and the suggestion for effective education of Korean speaking (Chapter 5).Chapter 1 explains the reason for necessity of discourse analysis for teaching Korean to migrant workers effectively. The education of Korean language for migrant workers has a short history and still has lots of things to do, including improving curriculum and developing better text books. Most of all, discourse analysis is more significant way to know Korean utterance of migrant workers. The chapter 2 takes a look at the theoretical backdrop for discourse analysis. The patterns of discussion and the reserve requirement for discourse analysis, and the theories of turn taking which is the essential factor for verbal discourse and the aspect of turn taking in a verbal discourse are studied.In chapter 3, the method and object of this study, transcribed materials and characteristic of the discourse, the outline of the program, and so on are described.In chapter 4, how to take place and allocate turn taking is studied based on transcribed materials of the discussion of migrant workers. Furthermore, the aspect of occurrence of turn taking is also studied. In the study, some notable features of obstructing smooth proceeding is shown - interrupting discourse, reacting only as audience, failure in using proper words by the person who is taking, for example. Besides, mutual effort to make a smooth discourse is also shown, which is considered that migrant workers intend to understand their insufficient skill of Korean speaking and make up for each other. It is another outstanding feature that migrant workers perform a long speech in one turn, and each has few turn taking compared with clause.Chapter 5 introduces some cases in which the result of discourse analysis applies to a practical instruction of Korean language. It is believed that The trait of migrant workers'' using Korean is good speaking skill and listening comprehension and bad writing and reading skill, but it isn''t only their trait. Although migrant workers have good speaking skill and listen comprehension, it is easy to realize that they don''t speak Korean fluently because they didn''t get enough education. As a result, the curriculum of Korean for migrant workers also concentrates on speaking and listening courses, and the application in the practical instruction is surveyed.Chapter 6 summarizes the result of the study on the aspect of turn taking in discussion of migrant workers and the limitation in study.
