Syllabus Design of Korean Language for Employment

The purpose of this study is to design a teaching curriculum for Korean language liberal arts courses on employment for international students enrolled in undergraduate programs at Korean universities. For this purpose, we investigated the current status of employment-related courses and special courses for inter national students and conducted a needs survey among international undergraduate students. Also, employment-related Korean textbooks were analyzed. The results are as follows. First, rather than liberal arts courses being offered to strengthen foreign students' employment competency, we observed that education is focused on short-term special lectures and job preparation. This suggests that there are not enough opportunities for students to learn the various competencies needed for working life after employment. Second, international students were found to have difficul ties in regards to respect, including using appropriate expressions of respect, and establishing relationships with colleagues in the workplace. In particular international students emphasized the need for education on situational language, using appropriate titles according to position, and establishing relationships with colleagues. Third, the textbooks published for business or employment(vocational) Korean generally dealt with post-employment situations such as company work, interpersonal relationships, and meetings. Based on these findings, this study proposed a 15-week curriculum to strengthen international students' employment competency. Through this, we expect that international students will be able to utilize language skills centered on speaking and reading, as well as strengthen their employment competency and use their language skills smoothly in actual communication situations. The significance of this study is that it proposes a curriculum that can improve international students' communication and work performance skills in relation to speaking and reading. In addition, the study is significant in that it provides practical help in strengthening their employment competency and developing them into competitive employees.
