This study aims to analyze the current trends in researches which were published since the academic community has taken an interest in Korean writing education for academic purpose. Due to a growing num ber of students that are learning Korean language in order to pursue a bachelor’s or master’s degree, more spotlight has been on developing Korean academic writing education in order to meet their needs. It was necessary that contents and teaching method of such Korean education were tailored to meet the demands of Korean language learners. In particular, many researches were conducted on developing educa tion for Korean writing for academic purposes. Therefore, out of the 230 researches related to Korean language education for academic purpose, 83 that were specifically about Korean academic writing education were analyzed for the purpose of this study. Trend by year showed an increasing total number of researches. When categorized by subject, most of the researches focused on general education plan and revealed a further need for expanding the scope of such research. Furthermore, the study examined the progress of researches that were done on con tent knowledge, context knowledge, language system knowledge, and writing process knowledge, which are said to be crucial for students to have in order to improve their Korean academic writing skills. Based on the analysis, most of the researches were found to be about forming context knowledge with its focus on genre. This may be the result of noting the fact that most of the students will have to write on specific genre that is required based on their different educational contexts and situations. However, building content knowledge and applying it in academic writing is equally as important as understanding the characteristics of genre. Specifically, there seems to be a need to conduct a research on students’ cross-textual knowledge and development and application of their integrated knowledge. Based on the analysis of existing researches on Korean academic writing education, it was confirmed that there needs to be further studies on designing and developing specific contents and methodology for Korean writing education for academic purpose.

이 연구는 학문 목적 한국어 쓰기 교육의 연구 경향을 분석하여 그 결과를 제시하고 이를 바탕으로 하여 앞으로의 연구에 시사점을 제안하는 데 목적이 있다. 한국어교육에 학문 목적 한국어교육 개념이 도입된 이후 현재까지 학문 목적 한국어교육 연구는 지속적으로 증가해 왔을 뿐만 아니라 그 범위도 넓어졌다. 이 중에서도 쓰기 교육 연구가 특히 활발히 이루어졌다. 이는 학습자의 요구가 특히 높은 영역이기도 하거니와 학문 목적의 쓰기가 보이는 일반 목적의 쓰기와 다른 특징들 때문이다. 주제별로 연구 경향을 분석한 결과 교실에서 학습자들에게 쓰기를 어떻게 지도할 것인지에 대한 내용과 학습자들이 학문 목적의 쓰기를 어떻게 하고 있는지를 분석한 연구가 많았다. 한편 학문 목적의 한국어 학습자가 성공적으로 과제를 수행하기 위해 갖추어야 할 지식별로 연구 결과를 분석한 결과 학문 목적이라는 특수 상황의 맥락을 반영한 연구가 특히 많았다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 앞으로의 연구는 이와 같은 맥락 지식을 더욱 구체화하는 동시에 학문적 담화공동체가 요구하는 내용, 언어, 쓰기 처리 지식이 무엇인지를 찾고 이를 교육할 수 있는 방안을 제시할 수 있도록 방향을 맞추어야 할 것이다.
