How to Teach Sentence Patterns in Korean Education for Foreigners

I investigate various types of foreign learners’ error sentences, and conclude that both basic sentence patterns and expressive sentence patterns should be taken seriously when teaching Korean to foreigners. I also argue that when teaching basic sentence patterns, sentence components should be emphasized, and that arrangement, constraints, communicative meanings, functional context, substitution and related sentence patterns should be emphasized in the teaching of expressive sentence patterns. It is consistent with current standard prescriptive grammar to teach basic sentence patterns through sentence components. Teaching basic sentence patterns through sentence components can complement the present teaching practice heavily relying on colloquial sentence patterns, and help learners develop their reading and writing skill. On the other hand, even with the knowledge of basic sentence patterns based on sentence components, and of morphological forms, a learner would be lack in her ability of constructing proper sentences unless she also knew expressive sentence patterns. It is why expressive sentence patterns should be taught as well in Korean education for foreigners.
