GRAMMAR INSTRUCTION IN AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO KOREAN LANGUAGE EDUCATION IN ROMANIA

Summary/Abstract: The goal of Korean language education in Romania, much like in any other country where Korean is taught as a foreign language, is to help learners develop accurate and fluent communicative competence. Because grammar is an indispensable pillar of communicative competence, grammar instruction should help learners use Korean in real communication rather than simply learn grammatical rules. For this reason, grammar should be taught in close connection with communicative language use. This paper examines the role of grammar instruction in Korean language education in Romanian higher education. It reviews previous studies on Korean grammar education and discusses them from the perspective of Korean language education in Romania, together with the author’s own teaching experience. This paper proposes an integrated approach to grammar instruction for Romanian learners of Korean in which grammar is taught together with listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
