Teaching Korean Language

Dr. Ahanthem Romita Devi

Abstract

This paper attempts to outline the aims and objectives of Korean language learning in University of Delhi by highlighting the unique method devised by Prof. Do-young Kim of using Devnagri script while teaching Korean. The paper also tries to bring out the difficulties faced by the language educators and accordingly offers some suggestions to make the teaching process a less cumbersome one. Basic knowledge of Linguistics may ease the burden of teaching a foreign tongue to adult learners who already have acquired L1. Using L1 while teaching L2 as tool which has been used by many in the past. Thus the paper puts stress on this method coupled with linguistic tools to facilitate the language learning process.

Keywords: acquisition, learning, Korean, language teaching.

In all by the age of four the child is a competent speaker of the language he/she has been exposed to.
