ABSTRACT

The purpose of this case study is to investigate the operation and activities of Confucius Institute, which was operated for 10 years. Confucius Institute is a new organization that is separate from the Chinese Cultural Center and aims to effectively communicate Chinese language and culture. Confucius Institutes could be established in many countries for a short period of time because of the nature of being established as a private organization without being restricted by the number. Although the organization is an affiliate of foreign educational institutions, the Confucius Institute has a distinctive characteristic of its operation, which is closely linked to the Chinese Confucius Institute headquarter and engages in activities related to China. In the case of D university in this paper, the instructors dispatched from China were found to get low satisfaction level from the educator in class because there were many beginners. The development of the textbook suitable for the level of the students was desperately required. Despite these difficulties, it can be said that Confucius Institute has faithfully carried out its original role of introducing Chinese language and culture to various classes of Koreans. For the full-fledged development in the future, it is necessary to play a wide role in mutual exchange between the educational institutions of the two countries.
