The study aims to understand personal changes experienced through Korean language learning and the significance of these changes to members of the new Korean Language and Culture Community by examining the life histories of foreign graduate students majoring in Korean language education and Korean literature. To this end, six Vietnamese students who are studying at a graduate school specializing in Korean language participated in this study and their life histories were examined, focusing on the development of their identities. The analysis focused on the (re)construction of identity in the learning processes of participants and showed that participants achieved complex identity development by learning and using Korean in various formal and informal contexts. In this study, changes were described in terms of improving Korean language skills, changing the self-image during early adulthood, and personal growth.

The purpose of this paper is to summarize research trends and analyze major discussions of previous studies on language policy and planning from a research historical perspective. In order to accomplish this purpose, this paper firstly established a database of related research lists through a complete enumeration survey of research articles by Korean researchers published in Korean academic journals. Then, based on the database, this paper summarized research trends of preceding studies by fields (status, corpus, education, etc.), by topics (language rank/function, orthographic norm, national language education, etc.), by relevant countries/regions (Korea, Asia, Europe, etc.). Finally, dividing the preceding studies into those related to Korea and those related to foreign countries, this paper analyzed major discussions by fields and topics based on representative and recent preceding studies. 'Not only does the aforementioned summary and analysis have research historical significance for preceding studies on language policy and planning, but 'they can also contribute to exploring the tasks and directions of future research.

이 연구의 목적은 중국 대학 한국어학과에서 개설된 한국문화교 육 관련 교과목과 사용하는 한국어 교재에 대해 살펴보고, 한국어 전공 학습자들의 요구조사를 통해 한국문화교육에 대한 개선 방향을 제시하 는 데 있다. 그 결과, 중국 대학 한국어학과에서 한국 문화에 대한 교 육을 부족하게 다루고 있음을 알 수 있으며, 이에 비해, 한국어학과 재 학 중인 학습자들은 모두 한국문화교육의 중요성과 필요성을 인식하고 있으며, 교육 내용 및 교수학습 측면에 대한 요구가 높았다. 이를 바탕 으로 본 연구에서는 1) 교육 내용의 풍부성, 2) 교수 학습의 다양성, 3) 교재 내용의 실제성, 4) 학습활동의 실천성이라는 네 가지 개선 방향을 제시하여 중국 대학 한국어 전공 학습자들에게 보다 더 적합한 한국문 화교육 방안을 마련하기 위한 토대를 다루었다는 데 의의를 둔다.
