AB - The purpose of the present study is to examine the current status of teaching Chinese characters and Sino-Korean words to foreigners as part of Korean language education as it is practiced outside Korea, identify problems in such practices and suggest solutions. For this purpose, the paper discusses practices of teaching Chinese characters and Sino-Korean words at US universities with the focus on those instituted by the University of Hawaii at Manoa where the author taught related courses as a visiting scholar for two semesters. Demand for Korean language education and opportunities to study Korean culture is growing abroad as Korea’s international status keeps improving. Education in Chinese characters and Sino-Korean words is an integral part of Korean language education for foreigners as their knowledge is vital to understanding the Korean language and expanding one’s Korean vocabulary. Against this background, the paper first gives a general survey of US university programs that teach Chinese characters and Sino-Korean vocabulary. It, then, narrows the focus to the programs at the University of Hawaii for a detailed examination of the textbooks used, the objectives and designs of the courses offered and the pedagogical and evaluation methods used.
