KSL 배경 학령기 학습자에 대한 연구 동향 분석

The purpose of this study is to analyze the research trends of elementary, middle and high school students among KSL learners from the perspective of procedural literature analysis, and further present the direction of follow-up research based on the results of the analysis. It has been more than a decade since the government-led policy on KSL learners for school-age began, and it is necessary to look at the trends in research on KSL learners during school years and analyze the tendency of the research subject. As the focus of preceding studies related to this was on trend analysis, the focus was placed on describing the percentage of research topics in each year through a quantitative approach, and the subjects of the studies included adult learners, or often limited to specific academic journals or dissertations. Therefore, this study included both dissertation and academic journal papers for trend analysis of KSL learners for school-age. After the criteria were established by applying a systematic literature review, the analysis of the topics by year was conducted considering the task by period, and the learners’ types and the school level were considered. The analysis suggests that despite the short period of research, various subjects were studied in a compressed manner, and Korean language education is now being studied as an independent field as it comes to recent years. However, there were an imbalance in the theoretical research areas, and the “academic Korean language competence” part, which should be discussed fully, has yet to achieve. (Daegu Catholic University)
