ABSTRACT

The purpose of this article is to find the correct direction of the KSL(Korean Sign Language) curriculum for Deaf adults and to set up a new model of KSL curriculum based on it. The establishment of the KSL curriculum is most urgent in order to provide and educate Korean Sign Language as stipulated in KOREAN SIGN LANGUAGE ACT which was made in 2016 at last. However, because of the absence of the effective KSL curriculum, the education and dissemination of KSL are being operated on a temporary basis, depending on educational institutions and educational demanders. The content of education is also based simply on sign words, so there is no systematic education on all units of KSL like as morph, word, phrase, sentence, expression etc. To overcome this problem, this article examines the correct direction of development of the KSL curriculum under the premise that it is the development of the KSL curriculum especially for Deaf adults, and suggests the actual model of the KSL curriculum centered to the sign semantics. In order to develop a proper KSL curriculum, it is important to clarify goals of education and finalize learners of education. And it is important to ensure that the content elements can be taught in a manner that reflects the characteristics of KSL according to the fitting level of education.
