Abstract

■ ABSTRACT A Study of Comparing Syllabi and Proposing Function Syllabus for Korean Language Materials Cho, Hyun-yong The study compares the syllabi of Korean textbooks, focusing on the communicative-skill activities. Much dialogue and discussion on material development and designing curricula for Korean language education for non-native speakers has been conducted by educators at various levels. The issues were considered from different points-of-view. But that isn’t the case when it comes to designing syllabi. There are differences in the use of terminology and standards of classification and such practice is problematic. The study compared syllabi from various Beginner-level Korean texts designed by its own accord, and discovered incongruity in the use of terminology and contents by the material developers. A comparison chart indicates the problems and the differences; we have also examined the frequency of functions. There exists “diversity” in the materials within various textbooks, and it reflects the unique “characteristics” of each institution that developed them. However, the designing of syllabi lacks structure. This deficiency is exposed in the light of “proficiency (what Korean language education generally promotes)” from the viewpoint of assessment. Furthermore, such discrepancies may only bring more confusion to developers of newer materials. Upon considering the issues at hand, the study proposes the following measures: (1)Functions should be distinguished as “Major” or “Minor” categories (2)Establish/maintain consistency in the use of language for terminology describing similar functions (3)Syllabi should contain exercises for communicative skills that are appropriate for current usage and practice of Korean language education. (4) Examples are provided so that learners can clearly understand the communicative skillsat hand.
