The purpose of this study was to develop elementary Korean teaching materials for Arabic speaking audience. Currently, there exists a need for research in the field of elementary Korean teaching materials prior to developing elementary Korean teaching materials for Arabs. In examining existing researches regarding Korean education for Arabs, the result showed significant lack of researches concerning teaching materials.
Therefore, this study analyzed two currently existing teaching materials for Arabs and researched the Arab learner’s needs in elementary Korean teaching materials, in order to propose a plan for developing elementary Korean teaching materials.
Examination of the tow current elementary Korean teaching materials showed that though the teaching materials included the four aspects of reading, writing, listening, and speaking, as well as an introduction to the Korean culture by the textbook through the four aspects, the material lacked teaching objectives and analysis sections, which led to confusion for the learners in establishing a clear purpose of learning. Thus, the current study supplemented the deficiencies by providing a clear learning objectives and including a variety of linguistic exercises for the learners to practice in the proposed elementary Korean teaching material.
Furthermore, through the research conducted on Arab students majoring in Korean at Jordan University, the current study identified several issues to consider in developing elementary Koran teaching materials. In establishing elementary Korean teaching materials, grammar was identified as the most urgent in requiring Arabic translation, followed by conversations and dialogues, and introduction of new phrases, respectively. As for the inclusion of materials providing the most contextualization for the learners was found to be Korean dramas, followed by Korean fables and Korean folk songs(K-pop). The research also showed that for the learners, promoting Arabic cultures, highlighting important daily summaries, producing Korean words clearly, and introducing Korean words that are difficult for Arab speaking audiences were found to be the most crucial for inclusion in the elementary Korean teaching materials.
Thus, current study developed an alternative elementary Korean teaching material that propose a clear plan for a study course with specific, distinguishable objectives in each lessons, as well as including a model for the elementary Korean teaching material, with advantages of the current teaching materials included and rectifying the disadvantages of the current materials. Though the study proposed an alternative elementary Korean teaching material based on research, the applicability of the teaching material is yet to be determined.
