This study aims to suggest a development plan for a KFL (Korean as a Foreign Language) curriculum designed for young learners in Korea. The research behind this study focused on students attending domestic foreign schools throughout Korea. Recently Korea has seen a steady increase domestically in the number of young learners with multicultural backgrounds, a group which includes children from families where only one parent is Korean as well as children from families where both parents are non-Korean. This increase has drawn the attention of Korean education scholars, but most recent studies focus on those young learners who attend domestic Korean schools. However, students in foreign schools study in a very different environment from that in which students in Korean schools study.
Due to the vastly different needs and circumstances of students in the foreign school system when compared to those of students in the Korean school system, I believe that a differentiated curriculum for the young learners who are learning Korean as a foreign language like students of foreign schools needs to be developed.
Therefore, I researched the current state of Korean language education in foreign schools in Korea and compared language curriculums of Korean (KSL), language programme (AL, Additional Language) of foreign elementary schools, and English (EFL, English as a Foreign Language) of elementary school in Korea. Also, I took surveys on demand of students, parents and teachers about Korean education.
Finally, I concluded a curriculum for beginner students learning Korean as a foreign language needs to be focused on BICS to improve authentic communication skills in daily life, and suggested strategies and a model for KFL curriculum included Korean educational system of foreign schools, target students, objectives, contents, syllabus, sample lesson plans, and evaluation.
