The purpose of this study is to propose directions for the development of Korean language proficiency assessment tools based on the analysis of instructor needs for such tools. In conducting this study, the needs of a subject group of 257 domestic and overseas instructors were observed regarding the language proficiency evaluation system and evaluation components of the current TOPIK. According to the results of the study, instructors considered the TOPIK, for the most part, to be an adequate tool for language proficiency assessment. However, the study results also showed that, regarding the TOPIK I, instructors found the lack of a writing section to be an issue. As for the TOPIK II, results showed that instructors found the reading section too difficult and the allocated time for the writing section to be somewhat short. When asked about the development of proficiency assessment, the majority of instructors emphasized the need for the development of new tools that would be appropriate for a new type of assessment. They also expressed that proficiency assessment should be applied for each of the four evaluation areas - speaking, listening, reading, and writing - and that the evaluation system should be divided into intermediate and advanced levels to take difficulty into consideration. Lastly, instructors mentioned that test results should show performance rankings and scores for each of the four aforementioned language evaluation areas. Based on the results outlined above, this study proposes the following directions for the development of Korean language proficiency assessment tools: first, adequate evaluation tools should be developed for the purpose of language proficiency assessment; second, all four language evaluation areas should be included from the beginner level; third, the evaluation system should take difficulty and practicality into consideration by providing two separate tests, one for the beginner and intermediate levels, one for the advanced level; fourth, evaluation components such as allotted question times, number of questions, difficulty, and answer choices, should be similar to that of existing evaluation method, with slight adjustments made to the difficulty of reading and allotted time of writing for the advanced level; fifth, the assessment results should offer performance rankings and scores for each of the four language evaluation areas.

소개
본 학회의 설립 목적은 한국어와 한국문화 교육의 활성화를 꾀하는 것이다. 다시 말해, 한국어와 한국문화 교육을 의한 바람직한 연구 방향을 모색하는 것이 본 학회의 근본 목적이다.
최근 한국어 교육의 중심 축은 한국어의 언어적 지식 교수가 아닌 의사소통능력의 신장을 위한 교수로 옮겨가고 있고, 그 변화과정에서 한국문화 교육 역시 자연스럽게 한국어교육과 밀접한 연관을 맺게 되었다. 따라서 한국어교육과 한국문화교육의 방법론을 학제간의 관점에서 연구 대상으로 삼아 체계적 연구를 꾀하는 것이 본 학회의 실제 목적이라 할 수 있다.
