This article examined the current state of Chinese education in Korean elementary schools. First of all, we surveyed Chinese education in elementary schools by dividing the types of Chinese curriculum into two categories: the regular and after-school courses. This study also analyzed the current situation of Chinese education by surveying Chinese teachers of the elementary schools in Seoul and collecting qualitative data of the curriculum time, objectives, and quantity of the Chinese education, class types, and the ratio of native Chinese speaking teachers. Overall, the results showed that the elementary students in Seoul really want to learn Chinese, but the educational environment lacks sufficient capacity and quality needed to meet the student demands. A lack of resources is demonstrated by a lack of class time and multimedia materials. The typical teaching method suffers from an absence of native Chinese speaking teachers. The frustration that comes with insufficient resources eventually leads students to lose interest in studying Chinese as their satisfaction levels become low. This lack of dedicated resources tends to discourage future Chinese language study.

本研究是把韩国小学中文教育按正规课程和非正规课程（课外学习）类型进行 分类调查后，根据此调查，对小学中文教育现状进行分析。且以首尔地区的小 学中文教师为对象，进行了问卷调查。中文教育的开始时期和目的，每周课 时，及中文教育时间，中文授课类型和教学计划，原语老师所占比例等进行调 查，对现行小学中文课的实态进行分析。调查结果显示，学生对中文学习的目 标较高，可是不足的课时和教育时间、活动中心授课的不足、没有原语老师、 多媒体资料的不足等原因，造成学生们对中文的持续兴趣减弱，对授课的满足 度降低，且对第二年的关于中文活动的选择比率减少，这是造成中文活动数减 少的原因。
