AB - This study examines how Translation Studies and Korean Language Education have engaged with each other as objects of research. Drawing on 102 articles published between 1996 and 2025 in ten KCI-indexed journals representing the two fields, the study conducts a research trend analysis and a keyword network analysis using VOSviewer. The results reveal a structural asymmetry. Within Korean Language Education, research on translation and interpreting has grown steadily to 86 articles, with a sharp increase from 2019 onward, and has developed a differentiated thematic structure including machine translation and post-editing, back-translation, and translation pedagogy. In contrast, research on Korean Language Education within Translation Studies has remained marginal: only 16 articles were published, with no comparable recent growth or cohesive keyword structure. Back-translation provides a particularly revealing example of this limited interdisciplinary exchange. This study argues that Translation Studies needs to place Korean Language Education on its research agenda, and that the two disciplines should move from unilateral borrowing toward reciprocal exchange. By mapping thirty years of research at the intersection of the two fields, the present study provides a starting point for the interdisciplinary dialogue it calls for.
