The purpose of this article is to describe the views that students and teachers are interested in the Korean teaching methods. For this purpose we investigated the aspects of appling teaching methods in Korean classroom by means of a survey on the scene of graduate students and teachers. In Korean education, traditional grammar-translation and audio-lingual method which have the teacher-centered and result-centered attitudes are put to practical use widely. And traditional pattern drill and input enhancement are used widely as a teaching technique of Korean classroom. Also the classroom activities are not applied to the face of awareness of the effectiveness and practical application. In conclusion, according to the survey analysis, the teaching methods are not applying variously, teachers’ ability of those falls below the average, and the conditions of applying methods are not prepared widely. These aspects reflect the problems of the linguistic nature of Korean and the curriculum of the institutions which is restricted by time and space. Korean is very complex language for foreign students because of agglutinative morphs, but a lot of linguistic items are treated by the monotonous teaching methods. Consequently, it is necessary to introduce and reconstruct the different teaching methods and yield a synergetic and meaningful result in Korean education. Therefore, we need the theoretical insight into the common language teaching methods, and the ability to apply them eclectically.
