Hong, Jin-hyeok. 2017. Needs Analysis for the Development of a Korean Language Curriculum for Participants in the ‘KOICA Scholarship Program’. Journal of Korean Language Education 28-3: 181-210. The purpose of this study is to analyze the needs of KOICA learners and to suggest some points to be considered in the development of a Korean language curriculum for KOICA Scholarship Program participants. For this purpose, the researcher first constructed questionnaires for analyzing learner needs based on the primary characteristics of learners that can be observed in actual education sites, and conducted a questionnaire survey for 71 trainees from the ‘Graduate School of International Studies’(GSIS) and the ‘Graduate School of Public Administration’(GSPA) in Seoul National University. Based on the analysis of the results, the researcher proposed several points to consider in terms of objectives, contents of education, methods of teaching, distribution of class time, textbooks and etc. in the development of a Korean language curriculum for KOICA learners. The ‘KOICA Scholarship Program’ is expected to continue to be implemented in the future, and it is expected that the development of a customized curriculum and corresponding textbooks for KOICA learners will soon be provided by governmental agencies. The researcher hopes that the results of this study can serve as useful reference. (Seoul National University)
