​​EXPLORING THE APPLICATION EFFECT OF SCAFFOLDING INSTRUCTION IN KOREAN LISTENING TEACHING IN UNIVERSITY IN SOUTHWEST CHINA​

Abstract

Korean listening teaching is one of the most important parts of Korean teaching in universities in China. However, some universities still adopt the old listening teaching mode, and there are many problems in listening teaching, and the teaching effect is not satisfactory. Therefore, Korean listening teachers constantly introduce new and effective teaching methods to solve the problems in listening teaching. This study aims to explore the application effect of scaffolding instruction in Korean listening teaching. This qualitative case study interviewed four Korean listening teachers from Chengdu Institute Sichuan International Studies University, and described their thoughts and experiences. The findings of this study showed that scaffolding instruction can solve some problems in Korean listening teaching. According to the teachers, the application of scaffolding instruction can make the abstract and boring learning content lively and interesting, strengthen the teaching effect of listening, give full play to students' learning enthusiasm and initiative, and improve students' listening ability. Significant constraints were found, including inappropriate teaching materials, limited teaching time, insufficient human resources, teaching skills and training. In addition, the most disturbing aspect is the attitude of students and the lack of support from university, such as the necessity of readjusting curriculum and policies. e.
