Concepts and Factors in Fluency of Spoken Korean based on Impression Survey

The aim of this study is to determine the concepts of fluency in Korean language education by examining the standards in which native Korean speakers use to determine fluency of non-Koreans’ spoken Korean. It then investigates the subordinate factors used by non- professional and professional groups and their differences on determining fluency of spoken Korean. Based on the results of fluency analysis of the impression surveys, the study proves that the subordinate factors can be taught via in-class instructions. The study consist of having the people surveyed watch pre-recorded interviews of three in one (focus group) of foreign spouses and overseas students and fill out in detail how they come to determine their fluency. The most popular determining factors were how accurate their pronunciation, naturalness of their intonation, grammar and vocabulary. The non-professional group ranked grammar accuracy 5th and the professional group 3rd in their importance, showing differences in the way they viewed the subordinate factors. The study showed how both groups chose pronunciation and intonation as the most important factor in determining fluency and grammar accuracy as the second. The study results showed that in Korean language education fluency was based on accuracy and that fluency is something that can be taught in classrooms (Kyung Hee University).
