ABSTRACT

This study examines the current trends and prospects of studies on Japanese OPI in Korea. By analyzing related papers, we examined how OPI has been used for Japanese language research and Japanese language education in Korea. Also, the possibility of further utilization of OPI was explored. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that OPI has diversified and developed over the course of 20 years. In terms of research, it was pointed out that the area of research would be expanded by combining the use of KY corpus with other data. We also presented how to use OPI data other than KY corpus. Research coping with the diversification of learners and cross-sectional research will be required. In terms of education, it was confirmed that OPI was utilized for oral assessment and assessment criteria suitable for the learners. In addition, OPI is used in education that encourages learners to “realize.” However, “task-oriented” classes and teaching materials have not been fully adopted in Korea. OPI is not only a useful linguistic material for teachers and researchers, but also a useful material that has promoted learning for learners.
