A Study on the Validity of the Test for a License in the Korean Language Teaching

This paper discussed the validity of the test for a license in the Korean language teaching. Some problems were identified through analyzing previous tests. The crucial things are the overlapping among fields and overclassifying the subjects. The overlapping led to duplicated fields, and overclassifying to the failure of concentration in the qualification of testee’s education ability. Without concentrating on a selected few fields and subjects, the test could end up as lack of expertise. We proposed a new frame to deal with these problems we have found. The new frame is divided into three sections - curriculum, functional education, knowledge education. Each section has 4, 7, 4 subject, so the number of subject is more confined than existing test. In the new frame, all of fields and subjects are combined into Korean educational linguistics.
