A Preliminary Study on the Action-oriented Teaching Method of Korean Course for Aviation Service Majors in Colleges and Universities

Abstract

The Korean language instruction for Air Crew Majors in colleges and universities primarily relies on theoretical knowledge textbooks. While these textbooks include airport-related content, most of the material only scratches the surface of vocabulary and grammar, lacking depth and alignment with the unique characteristics of the Korean language. Due to the cultural differences between China and South Korea and the influence of cultural migration, language misunderstandings when interacting with Koreans are inevitable. However, few of the school study contents address the cultural differences between China and Korea, as well as the practical application of Korean in real-life scenarios. As a result, students are more likely to make cultural mistakes when interacting with Korean passengers after working at the airport. This requires designing Korean language teaching under the action-oriented pedagogy. Based on the current situation of Korean language learning for Aviation Service students in colleges and universities. This paper presents a preliminary study on the design of Korean language teaching for Air Crew Majors using the action-oriented teaching method. It also highlights several key issues that need to be addressed when implementing this approach to Korean language teaching.
