ABSTRACT

Chapters 1 and 2 of this study describe the definitions and characteristics of the Fourth Industrial Era and its major technologies used in the field of foreign language education. Chapter 3 discusses the ideal quality of Korean language teachers and the role they should play in the Fourth Industrial Era. Moreover, support measures to prevent alienation from new technologies and to help improve the quality of teachers are suggested. The overall study is summarized as follows. One of the foremost qualities that Korean language teachers in the Fourth Industrial Era should acquire is Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK), which enables Korean language education using new technologies. Another important quality of teachers is “to constantly research technologies that can be used in class.” Given the rapid pace of technological advancement, Korean language teachers must also constantly learn to keep pace with technological advances. Next, teachers in the Fourth Industrial Era should try to maximize the positive impact of new technologies in the Fourth Industrial Era and accommodate them in classrooms. Simultaneously, it is important to overcome the negative impact of new technologies on education. Institutionally, the curriculum for training Korean language teachers should be improved to reflect the Fourth Industrial Revolution Era. This is because even if there are VR and AR devices in the classroom, it is useless if teachers cannot use them proficiently. Finally, government agencies, local governments, and others should pay attention to marriage immigrants and their multicultural families and support them so that they do not experience technological alienation.
