Survey on Children's Chinese Language Education in Seoul, South Korea

บทคัดย่อ

The histories of China and South Korea are long, and the two countries, geographically close, have maintained friendly relations for a long time. In recent years, the two nations have engaged in cooperation in various fields, and "Chinese fever" has surged in the South Korean education market. However, children's Chinese language education faces both opportunities and challenges. In researching children's Chinese language education, beyond the field of language education, studies in education development and cultural understanding have also become important. Currently, although South Korea's interest in Chinese has gradually increased, research on children's Chinese language education still needs improvement compared to adult Chinese language education. Therefore, this thesis focuses on public and private elementary schools in Seoul. Through direct and statistical surveys, it aims to gain in-depth insights into the current status of children's Chinese language education in Seoul's elementary schools and propose improvement measures.

Given the profound impact of children's education on a nation's future development, Chinese language education has become an indispensable part of South Korea's language education. Despite the limitless potential in the education market, there are still many shortcomings. Addressing the core issues in children's Chinese language education and cultivating a high-level teaching force are key to achieving a qualitative leap in this field. Through this research, the author hopes to gain a deep understanding of the issues, propose improvement solutions, and expect that children's Chinese language education can achieve true independent development, injecting new vitality into the relationship between China and South Korea. It is hoped that both sides can jointly envision a bright future, deepen cooperation, and propel bilateral relations into a new stage of comprehensive development.
