A Basic Study on the development of learning materials for Korean vocabularies.- Focusing on Learners’ Needs Analysis - The Language and Culture 6-2: 45-67. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the needs of Korean learners and develop the Korean vocabulary learning materials. For this purpose, the needs analysis has been undertaken in such areas as follows: 1) Learners’ satisfaction on the current materials 2) Format and contents of vocabulary learning materials 3) Learners’ satisfaction and needs according to proficiency and native languages. This paper attempts to suggest the future direction of vocabulary learning materials based on the results of the needs analysis. First, the future-developed vocabulary learning materials should provide a different level of vocabularies gradually according to the level of mastery. Second, these vocabulary learning materials should take a form of bilingual dictionary which includes the learner’s native language vocabularies, the pictures and videos. Third, these materials can be published as text books with auxiliary appendix of a CD or MP3. Fourth, these learning materials should provide a variety of visual materials so that learners should be capable of learning cultures through vocabularies by themselves.
