This thesis is an analysis of research topics among doctorate research papers in Korean education from 1990 to 2016. The purpose of this paper is to keep up with current trends of Korean Language Education research in South Korea and China. The study aims to provide relevant information to researchers majoring in Korean language education and to determine future directions of Korean language education. In this study, among a total of 1709 Korean and Chinese studies of Korean language education, a final selection of 444 doctoral thesis (which consist of a total of 389 papers in Korea and a total of55 papers in China) were chosen from 1990 to 2016. The final selection of 444 papers was classified by year, topics and methodologies with a detailed analysis of the content. In addition, a detailed analysis of future directions and challenges for Korean education within South Korea and China is provided.

This study aims to acoustically analyze Korean language characteristics and convert these findings into musical elements, providing foundational data for evidence-based music-language rehabilitation. We collected voice data from thirty men and thirty women aged 19-25, each providing six-syllable prosodic units composed of two accentual phrases, including both declarative and interrogative sentences. Analyzing this data with Praat, we extracted syllabic acoustic properties and conducted statistical analyses based on acoustic properties, sentence type, gender, and particle presence. Significant differences were found in syllable frequency and duration based on accentual phrases and prosodic units (p < .001), with interrogative showing higher frequencies and declaratives longer durations (p < .001). Female frequencies were significantly higher than males' (p < .001), with longer durations observed (p < .001). Particle syllables also showed significantly stronger intensities (p < .001). Finally, we presented melodies converted from these acoustic properties into musical scores based on pitch, duration, and accent. The insights from this analysis of six-syllable Korean sentences will guide further research on developing a system for melodizing large-scale Korean speech data, expected to be crucial in music-based language rehabilitation.

This study has examined the cause of the library anxiety among foreign students upon visiting college libraries. 131 students were investigated using Library Anxiety Scale (LAS) to analyze the relationship between sex, grade, library use education, frequency of library use, Korean skill and cultural heterogeneity. The result of the LAS showed an average of 2.60 among foreign students, and the anxiety from the "mechanical barrier" was scored the highest. For sex, male students tended to be relatively more anxious than female students on the "accommodation of library" and "knowledge of library." Students who participated in the library use education were less anxious than those who did not, and the more one used library, the less one became anxious. Based on these results, the study proposes the way ahead for resolving library anxiety through library use education and frequency of use.

The purpose of this study analyzes the cultural identity, learning motivation, learning strategies, and second language acquisition trends of Chinese students living in Korea to reveal the structural relationship between these four variables, thereby revealing the cultural identity, learning motivation, and learning strategies of international students in the Korean language learning process. The purpose is to provide basic data to promote . This study verified reliability and validity through a preliminary survey targeting 200 people. This survey was conducted on 1,006 Chinese students studying abroad at six universities in Seoul, Gyeonggi-do, Busan, and Chungcheong-do from May 28 to June 15, 2023. As a result of the study, first, the structural relationship between variables was that cultural identity had a positive effect on learning motivation, learning strategies, and second language acquisition. Second, learning motivation had a positive (+) effect on learning strategies and second language acquisition. Third, learning strategies had a positive (+) (+) effect on second language acquisition. Fourth, learning motivation and learning strategy between cultural identity and learning strategy were found to play a positive (+) mediating role and multiple mediating roles. Therefore, in order to promote international students' cultural identity, learning motivation, and learning strategies in the Korean language learning process, it is necessary to increase opportunities for international students to directly experience the formation of cultural identity and to organize and teach a multifaceted curriculum centered on practice.
