A direction of the Korean curriculum design in higher education for the Korean Studies in Europe: Through the analysis of the foreign language curriculum in KU Leuven, Belgium

The purpose of this study is to seek for improved directions of the Korean curriculum of Korean studies abroad through analysing the foreign language curriculum in KU Leuven in Belgium (2014-2015). As a result of analysis, foreign language curriculums in KU Lueven are divided into ‘Tall-en letterkunde(언어문학사)’ and ‘Taal–en regiostudies(언어지역학사)’, both of which are in common in the sense of teaching foreign languages as a major study at the university, however, have a difference in the fact that ‘Tall-en letterkunde(언어문학사)’ is the curriculum focusing on the knowledge of linguistic, translation and analysing skills to improve better communication ability, whereas, ‘Taal–en regiostudies(언어지역학사)’ is the curriculum reinforcing gradational education system by linguistic knowledge and language practice to understand learners’ target regions. Through this analysis, this study proposes to develope alternative Korean curriculum in Europe in the direction of ‘Taal–en regiostudies(언어지역학사)’, and to design new curriculums improving linguistic skills to understand Koreans documents and analysis by making up text analysis modules in the course of ‘Tall-en letterkunde(언어문학사)’’ into Korean language curriculums on the purpose that the Korean language curriculum should be geared up as study tools for Eastern Asian studys.
