The purpose of this study was to investigate research trends in Foreign Languages Education by analyzing the articles published from its inaugural issue in 1995 to 2025, commemorating the journal’s 30th anniversary. The study analyzed a total of 1,347 research articles written by 1,892 researchers. The analysis focused on target learners, author types, target languages, article language, and research topics, categorized into three ten-year periods. The results reveal notable enhancements in the quantity and quality of research conducted over the period. Findings indicate that research activities peaked between 2005 and 2015, accompanied by a shift from single-authored papers to collaborative studies. While English remained the dominant target language, recent years have demonstrated diversification into Korean as a foreign language, Chinese, Vietnamese, and others. College students were the most frequently studied participants, and language learning/acquisition and teaching methods were consistently the most prominent research topics. Moreover, a notable increase in collaborative authorship was observed, reflecting expanded academic networking and growing research cooperation. By providing a comprehensive overview of three decades of research, this study offers valuable insights and a foundational resource for guiding future directions in foreign language education.

This study examined Korean university students’ ability to distinguish between authentic and modified spoken English texts and their perceptions of each in relation to language learning and content appeal. A total of 125 students completed a questionnaire after listening tasks, assessing their perceptions in three domains: authenticity versus modification, language learning, and content appeal. Questionnaire responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics and independent samples t-tests. The results indicated that participants could distinguish between the two types of texts. Modified texts were rated significantly higher for clarity and fluency, whereas authentic texts were viewed as more reflective of natural speech, including features such as unclear pronunciation and hesitation. Pronunciation clarity, however, was not perceived to significantly influence listening comprehension or difficulty. Participants evaluated modified texts more favorably for supporting language learning, particularly in pronunciation, listening skill development, and content understanding. Both text types were considered similarly effective for comprehending real-life conversations. Regarding content appeal, modified texts were rated as more engaging, though no significant differences emerged in their usefulness for real-life application or new information. These findings highlight the pedagogical importance of using both authentic and modified texts to address diverse learner needs.

This qualitative study explores how fifth-grade elementary school students experience AI-based feedback in English writing. Two students participated in writing activities and received feedback from ChatGPT. Data were collected from observation logs, drafts, reflection journals, and interviews over several weeks. The analysis focused on participants’ perceptions, cognitive/meta-cognitive and affective responses, and the impact of feedback on revision. Results indicate AI-based feedback is helpful, clear, and supports self-directed learning, increasing motivation and confidence. Effective classroom use requires instructional sequences integrating AI feedback with teacher facilitation, including drafting, feedback reception, revision, and reflection stages. Teacher training should prepare educators to manage AI tools effectively and foster students’ self-regulation. Teacher-led research and collaboration can enhance AI feedback integration, ensuring meaningful learning experiences for young EFL learners. These findings provide foundational insights for developing personalized feedback systems and instructional models combining technological innovation and pedagogy, supporting young learners’ growth as confident and autonomous writers.

This mixed-methods study explores perceptual learning style preferences among Korean and Uzbek EFL learners and examines teachers’ interpretations of these preferences. Quantitative data were collected from secondary-level learners in both countries (N= 208) using Reid’s PLSPQ, followed by semi-structured interviews with English teachers (n= 18) to contextualize survey patterns. The PLSPQ was selected for its modality-based structure and comparability with current EFL research, and teacher interviews were added to triangulate self-report. Independent-samples t-tests showed that Uzbek learners reported significantly higher preferences across all six modalities, with no group differences on visual. These higher scores are interpreted as context-responsive tendencies rather than indicators of superior ability, with Uzbek patterns linked to smaller classes, limited private tutoring, early instruction prior to full literacy, and movement-based activities in resource-limited schools. In contrast, narrower preference profiles among Korean learners align with exam-oriented, text-focused instruction, larger classes, and classroom norms of deference. While this study contributes a cross-context perspective on learning style preferences, its findings are limited by reliance on self-report and the absence of factor analytic validation of the PLSPQ. Future research should include psychometric testing and behavioral measures. Overall, results underscore the value of inclusive, multimodal pedagogy and learner metacognitive awareness.

This study examines Korean–Turkish hortatives using a quasi-spoken parallel corpus and proposes a three-stage instructional model. From 20 K-dramas, 457 hortative–response pairs were extracted through a three-step protocol. In Korean, indirect strategies (77.7%) outweighed direct forms (22.3%). In translation, however, many indirect Korean hortatives were rendered as direct forms in Turkish, indicating speech-act clarification and a typological asymmetry between the languages. A chi-square test showed that speaker gender significantly influenced t he K orean choice o f hortative type ( χ² =14.21, p < .01), whereas this effect was largely neutralized in the Turkish renderings. Differences also emerged in refusal sequences: avoidance and silence in Korean tended to be translated as explicit refusals in Turkish. On this b asis, the p aper a dvances a n Awareness–Analysis–Application model that sequences corpus-based noticing, guided contrastive analysis, and discourse-level tasks. The model aims to move beyond grammar- centered instruction and to strengthen learners’ pragmatic competence in authentic interaction, with adaptable materials for tertiary-level Korean programs for Turkish-speaking learners.

This study investigates teacher mediation strategies in CLIL-based Korean presentation classes, with particular attention to how teachers support learner agency and intercultural competence. Using a multi-cycle action research design, classroom interactions were closely examined to identify the instructional moves through which teachers facilitated communication, scaffolded learner output, and integrated cultural perspectives into language practice. Analysis revealed four principal categories of strategies: interaction facilitation, spontaneous output promotion, cultural understanding and communication, and critical reflection. These categories frequently co-occurred within the same instructional episode, reflecting the dynamic and layered nature of CLIL pedagogy. Early stages of the course emphasized stabilizing interaction and reducing learners’ performance anxiety, while later stages increasingly foregrounded intercultural reflection and the negotiation of cultural meanings. The findings demonstrate that teachers act as strategic mediators who coordinate linguistic, cognitive, and cultural processes in real classroom situations. This study highlights how CLIL-based presentation classes can operationalize integrated learning goals and offers pedagogical insights for designing Korean-language courses that cultivate both communicative competence and intercultural awareness.

This study aims to analyze a case of a short-term Korean language training program for learners from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and to derive its implications. The program was structured in the following sequence: student recruitment by the UAEU (United Arab Emirates University) coordinator, pre-program preparation by the coordinator at University B, joint operation of the program by coordinators from both institutions, and the preparation and sharing of a final report by the University B coordinator. This study focuses on training programs conducted from 2023 to 2025 and employs qualitative analysis based on responses to surveys administered after the program. The analysis revealed that while learners generally expressed high satisfaction with the Korean language classes and cultural experiences, some reported lower satisfaction in aspects related to daily living, such as food and accommodation, due to cultural differences. These findings suggest areas for improvement in future program design. By presenting a practical case of short-term Korean language training for UAE learners, this study serves as foundational data for the development of Korean language education programs and related research targeting learners from the Middle East.

This study aims to identify instructional design elements for flipped learning in Korean language education targeting foreign learners. A total of 61 studies published between 2014 and 2024 on flipped learning classes for foreigners were analyzed. The extracted instructional design elements were reviewed and validated by experts. The structure of flipped learning classes was categorized into three main stages—pre-class, in-class, and post-class—and further subdivided into six phases: presentation, practice, introduction, activity, evaluation, and reinforcement. For each phase, specific instructional materials, teaching strategies, and the roles of instructors and learners were defined. Based on expert feedback, the final elements were refined to reflect adjustments such as proficiency-based difficulty levels, the use of authentic language resources, clearer d escriptions o f activity t ypes, a nd appropriate limitations on group size. Through this process, this study derived and validated instructional design elements for flipped learning-based Korean language instruction, highlighting their relevance and practical significance for instructional design research.

This study investigates the Korean language learning needs of international students enrolled in English-track programs at universities in Korea, with the goal of suggesting improvements in both instruction and the broader educational environment. A survey of 329 English-track international students at a university in Busan was conducted, examining their needs in four areas: learning environment, Korean language courses, instructors, and learners. To complement the quantitative analysis, in-depth interviews were carried out with 10 selected participants. Findings reveal that students expressed the greatest needs in relation to the learning environment and learner-related factors. Specifically, they emphasized the importance of increased opportunities for interaction with Korean students, the establishment of student clubs and common spaces, courses designed for the Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK), and classes emphasizing practical speaking skills. By contrast, satisfaction with instructors was generally high. Correlation analysis showed the strongest relationship between the learning environment and Korean language courses, underscoring the necessity of improving the overall educational environment to enhance course satisfaction. This study offers practical implications for tailoring Korean language instruction to the needs of English-track international students and recommends further research across diverse regions and language backgrounds.

This study examines the development of Korean language education in Sri Lanka from secondary to tertiary levels and identifies key institutional challenges. Korean has recently been introduced as a high school subject and added to the university entrance examination, yet systematic academic research remains limited in the local educational context. Using document analysis and field-based inquiry, the study investigates the expansion and implementation of Korean language programs. Data come from statistics by the National Institute of Education, a survey of 123 secondary school teachers, and interviews with university instructors. The analysis covers curricula at the secondary and upper-secondary levels as well as programs in five universities that offer Korean courses. Findings show persistent structural issues, including insufficiently qualified and understaffed teachers, curriculum inconsistencies, limited instructional materials, and a lack of specialized institutions and research infrastructure. The study proposes a teacher-qualification framework, mentoring-based training, localized textbooks, and the expansion of university-level Korean majors.
