AB - This study aimed to explore ways to reconstruct the career education curriculum of the liberal arts required course ‘Career Exploration and Design’ to reflect the linguistic and cultural characteristics of international students divided into Korean-track and English-track. A needs assessment survey based on the DOTS model was administered to 72 international students at D University (Korean-track, n=39; English-track, n=33), measuring the importance and current level of career development competencies across 6 domains and 28 items. Data were analyzed using paired-sample t-tests, the Borich needs assessment formula, the Locus for Focus model, and independent-sample t-tests. Results indicated that International Student Career Competency, Career Language Competency, and Opportunity Awareness showed the highest educational needs in that order. Locus for Focus analysis identified seven items—including understanding of visa systems, foreign employment procedures, and recruitment culture—as top-priority educational targets in the first quadrant. Independent-sample t-tests revealed significant differences between the two tracks in the current levels of Transition Learning and Career Decision-Learning, confirming the need for track-differentiated syllabi. Based on these findings, an integrated language-career-culture syllabus was proposed for the Korean-track, and a global career model-based syllabus was proposed for the English-track.
