ABSTRACT

This article analysed the current status and problems of Korean language education as a foreign language in Shandong Province, China through a temporal investigation on Korean majors of universities in Shandong area. Furthermore, this article also explored the developing directions and prospects of this issue. After the official establishment of the Diplomatic Relationship between China and South Korea in 1992, the need for talented personnel who can speak Korean has been increasing and at the same time, Shandong Province can be seen as the most concentrated destination for Korean education as a foreign language in China. At present, more than 40 universities including public universities, private universities and community colleges inside Shandong area have set up Korean major. In these universities approximately 6000 students are majoring in Korean Studies and 1500 graduates will graduate from this major every year. However we can not ignore the increasingly obvious problems such as teaching objectives, qualification of lecturer and advancement of teaching method. We expect that the today's Korean educational system in Shandong area which is concentrating solely on language itself can upgrade into studies on all aspects about Korea.
