Korean Culture Education for Beginners in Outside of Korea

This Study aims to suggest the way that Korean teachers in outside of Korea teach Korean culture to their students whose proficiency in Korean language is beginner. Language and Culture are not separately taught because of its inextricable relations. However, the objective of culture teaching has been subordinated under the language teaching. Korean learners who learn Korean language outside of Korea are fascinated by Korean culture, but their Korean language proficiency is not high enough to learn Korean Culture using Korean as a medium of instruction. However culture education materials which include comparison between target culture and learners' own culture are developed for advanced learners. Therefore this study suggests tasks which enable beginners to participate the process of selection of culture contents for culture education and analysis on Korean culture and comparison of Korean and their own culture. These tasks could enhance learners’ perspectives on culture and language as well as Korean culture.
