한국어 교육은 국내와 국외, 한국어 원어민 교사와 한국어 비원어민 교사에 의해 발전하고 있다. 국외 한국어 교육이 발전하고 한국어 비원어민 교사가 증가하면서 이들에 대한 전문성 강화와 양성 및 활용 방안이 논의되고 있다. 국내에서 ‘한국어 교원 자격’ 제도는 2005년 시행된 이래 한국어 원어민 교사의 전문성을 강화하고 양성 하는 기준이 되었다. 한국어 비원어민 교사의 교육 및 양성에 ‘한국어 교원 자격’ 제도를 활용한다면 국외 한국어 교육과 한국어 비원어민 교사의 발전에 도움이 될 것이다.

Korean education is being developed by native and non-native Korean teachers both home and abroad. As Korean education has been developed overseas with a rising number of non-native Korean teachers, plans are being discussed to reinforce, cultivate, and utilize their professionalism. In South Korea, the "Korean Language Teachers' Qualification" system has served as the standard to reinforce and cultivate the professionalism of native Korean teachers since its enforcement in 2005. If the system is used to educate and cultivate non-native Korean teachers, it will contribute to Korean education overseas and the development of non-native Korean teachers.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the perception and utilization of the "Korean Language Teachers' Qualification" system among non-native Korean teachers who are teaching Korean in the overseas field of Korean education. For this purpose, the study conducted a survey of its perception with two groups: one of them being Chinese teachers in the Department of Korean Language at Chinese universities, and the other being pre-service Chinese teachers to teach Korean who were studying Korean Language and Korean Education at South Korean universities and graduate schools. The findings show that the number of those who possessed the "Korean Language Teachers' Certificate" was small and that the need for the certificate was low in the field of Korean education overseas. They stated, however, that the certificate would help to reinforce the Korean language teachers' professionalism and that they would make use of it to recruit teachers. This suggests a couple of opinions to develop the system, which includes the introduction of a separate qualification system for non-native Korean teachers and the acquisition of the certificate overseas.
These findings raise a need to make use of the "Korean Language Teachers' Qualification" system to reinforce the professionalism of non-native Korean teachers and bring them up in the future. There should be ongoing discussions about the system for non-native Korean teachers.
