본고는 베트남 북부 하노이 소재 대학 한국어학과의 한국학 교육 현황을 점검하고 발전 방안 및 과제에 대해 제시하였다. 1992년 12월 한국과 베트남 두 나라의 국교가 정상화된 이후 해가 갈수록 양국관계는 점점 더 긴밀해지고 있다. 더욱이 베트남에 한국기업이 많이 진출함에 따라 한국어와 한국학에 대한 수요는 급격히 증가하고 있는 추세다. 하노이 소재 대학에 한국어학과가 설치된 시기는 1993년으로 한국학 보급의 역사가 17년이 되었다. 그동안의 한국학 보급은 한국어교육에 중점을 두어서 한국어 관련 교과목의 개발이나 교재 개발 등에 있어서 일정한 성과를 거두었다. 그러나 한국어교육에 치중한 나머지 문화․역사․문학 등과 같은 한국학교육은 거의 시행되지 못하고 있다. 한국과 한국인, 한국문화를 잘 이해하기 위해서는 언어뿐만 아니라 역사․문화․문학․사상 등과 같은 한국학교육이 필요하다. 한국어교육이 어느 정도 궤도에 오른 하노이 소재 대학 한국어학과에서는 지금부터라도 한국학교육을 강화해야 할 필요성이 있다. 베트남에 한국학 지원사업을 시행하고 있는 정부 각 기관에서도 한국학교육의 중요성을 인지하고, 한국학교육을 전담할 수 있는 교원 양성 및 교재 개발, 교과목 개발 등에 적극적으로 관심을 가져야 할 것이다.

This report is intended for presenting the current situation and the further development for the Korean studies education by the Korean language departments in the Hanoi universities in Vietnam. Ever since the diplomatic relations formalized between Korea and Vietnam on December 1992, the foreign relations between two countries has been getting closer as time goes by. Many Korean companies have been entering into Vietnam, thereby the demand for learning Korean language and Korean studies tends to increase rapidly. For the spread of Korean studies, the first Korean language department was established in Hanoi universities in 1993, and thereafter almost seventeen years have passed. Up to now, as the Korean studies education have been focused on Korean language learning, some achievements are shown in the developments of teaching materials and educational curriculums for the Korean language. However, the present Korean studies is biased too much in educating Korean language, which gives the least consideration to itself. The Korean studies could be considered as an intensive course of the Korean language education. A language is a means of understanding the culture and the national characteristics of a nation. The Korean language departments in the Hanoi universities that have successively risen above the ordinary level in Korean language education are highly recommended to intensify the Korean studies education, from now on. Also, the institutions of Korean government helping the Korean studies education in Vietnam should recognize the importance of it, and should make every effort to support the relating education, such as by training teachers who can take exclusive charge of the Korean studies, by developing the relevant teaching materials and educational subjects, and so on.
