ABSTRACT

This paper examined current trends and prospects of recent research on Japanese language education in Korea. From 2019 to 2020, 321 papers on Japanese language education were selected from 19 Japanese and Japanese-related academic journals. Next, research topics were divided into 10 categories and sub-categories. The results revealed that the highest proportion of papers were related to “teaching and learning” (24.9%), followed by “language elements” (20.9%), “social language or culture” (9.0%), “teachers or learners” (8.7%), “acquisition or error” (8.1%), “language skills” (7.2%), “textbooks or teaching materials” (5.9%), “others” (5.9%), “Japanese language education general” (5.0%), and “evaluation” (4.4%). Further, this study examined in detail the research related to “online education or the use of ICT,” which is expected to become more important and necessary in the future and has already been focused in the field of Japanese language education. It is hoped that the study results could provide the direction of Japanese language education and research, and class design and implementation in the educational environment that often changes dynamically in this uncertain era.
