Abstract
The objective of this study is to review how Korean universities in Uzbekistan operate the Korean language courses and Korean language education programs for degree students concretely. There are two detailed points in the study. One is the process of establishment and current status of the Korean language degree program at the Department of Korean language or the Faculty of Korean language at Korean universities in Uzbekistan. Another is the curriculum of the Korean language courses and the Korean language degree program. The Inha University in Tashkent and the University of Ajou in Tashkent only offer Korean language courses for beginners. Yeoju Technical Institute in Tashkent is a developing university of Korean language education that operates the Korean language of bachelor’s degree in individual academic divisions. And Korea International University in Fergana, the only operating faculty of the Korean language in Uzbekistan, is in the process of reorganizing the Korean language degree program into Korean studies. This study is meaningful in that it analyzes the current issues of Korean language education at Korean Universities in Uzbekistan, presents new data, and suggests ways to develop the Korean Universities of Korean language education. And the current status of Korean language education in Uzbekistan discussed in this study can be common to many Korean universities in Uzbekistan as well as in Central Asia. It is therefore that this paper will be a useful resource for establishing the Korean language degree program at Korean Universities in Central Asia.
