A Trend Analysis of Theses and Dissertations Published between 2006 and 2011 on Teaching the Receptive Skills in Korean as a Second/Foreign Language

This paper reports an analysis result of the research trends observed in a total number of 92 theses and dissertations published in Korea between 2006 and 2011 on the topic of teaching the receptive skills (i.e., listening and reading) in Korean as a second or foreign language (KSL/KFL). The 92 studies were analyzed and coded into the two broad categories of (1) objects of research, subdivided into participants’ proficiency in Korean, purposes of learning Korean, and first language, and (2) research topics, subdivided into teaching and learning approaches, materials development, text properties, assessment, and others. The results suggest that further and future research into teaching the receptive skills in KSL/KFL needs to be diversified in terms of both objects of research and research topics.
