ABSTRACT

One of the issues in Korean language education is the development of effective alternatives to teach Korean language to immigrant labors. This article deals with the Korean language education for immigrant labors from the point of view of Korean language education policy. It explores the actual conditions of Korean language education for immigrant labors including its meaning and its features. It points out that Korean language education for immigrant labors changes the existing paradigm of Korean education and it has some unique features and problems that cannot be resolved by the capability which has been accumulated during the development process of Korean language education. In this paper, three alternatives are provided to develop Korean education for the immigrant labors. First, every party concerned with Korean education for immigrant labors should participate in working out the master plan. Second, existing regular Korean language education circles and Korean language education circles for immigrant labors collaborate and raise the level of cooperation. And lastly, the accessibility to Korean language education of immigrant labors should be raised.
