A Study of the Development and Improvement of an Elementary and Intermediate Listening Curriculum for the Korean Language Department in China: Focusing on the Perceptions and Needs of Students and Teachers at Department of Korean Language and Culture, Peking University

Students studying Korean at Chinese universities have extremely limited opportunities and time to learn Korean outside of their classes. In particular, considering learners' Korean language levels, teachers often help learners understand in elementary courses by using the Chinese language. To provide learners with more listening input and to improve their listening skills in their classes, it is necessary to ensure that an effective listening curriculum is available. As the listening curriculum is a part of the overall curriculum of a Korean language department, improving the listening curriculum can bring about positive changes in related curricula and will also help to form a systematic Korean language curriculum. Accordingly, this study aims to investigate the current status of elementary and intermediate listening curricula and to uncover the perceptions and needs of learners and teachers in listening courses, thereby facilitating the design and improvement of their listening curriculum they use. For this purpose, this article initially defines the characteristics of the listening curricula used in Korean language departments and introduces the research method. Next, the results of a seven-part survey containing questions about subject organization, teaching and learning goals, teaching and learning contents, textbooks, teachers, evaluations, and difficulties in teaching and learning are analyzed. Based on this, several suggestions are presented on how to design and improve the elementary and intermediate listening curricula used by Korean language departments at Chinese universities.
