카타르 한국어교육 교육과정 개발 방향 및 실행에 대한 소고 - 카타르 A학교를 중심으로 -

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to propose how effective Korean language education can be developed for Qatari learners. To this end, it focuses on the direction of the curriculum development as well as its execution in Qatar School A. The curriculum of the Korean language program at Qatar School A is mainly developed in three stages: planning, implementation, and evaluation. An analysis of the direction and implementation of curriculum development for Korean language education targeted at Qatari learners, helped identify preferences for learners in Arabic-speaking countries. First, as the learners preferred instruction centered on communication (i.e., speaking) rather than grammar, instructors suggest establishing learning goals and select lesson content that reflect this preference. Second, instructors prefer using textbooks that are localized to Arab culture and translated into Arabic. Third, for effective teaching-learning, in addition to formative and summative evaluations, there must be a system in place to give continuous feedback and counseling to learners as well as instructor training at appropriate time. Finally, memorization-based learning is not advisable, and lessons must include various activities.
