초록

The purpose of this study is to 1) demonstrate that there is a considerable population of LGBT people who are learners or potential learners of Korean as a second language; 2) to point out that KSL/KFL education tends to manifest heteronormativity which could deprive LGBT learners of learning opportunities; and 3) to contemplate the methods to improve KSL/KFL education for LGBT learners. A survey was conducted on the Korean subreddit website. More than 70% of the survey respondents identified themselves as LGBT and 19.1% responded that teacher talk and/or teaching materials are unnecessarily based on heteronormativity. Methods to improve KSL/KFL education suggested including LGBT people in teaching materials the same way as heterosexual people and teaching LGBT related terminology. More than 90% responded there still is a need to make KSL/KFL education LGBT friendly even if there is a low chance of encountering openly LGBT person in Korea. This study concludes that gender dichotomy and heteronormativity should be avoided, which could begin with rejecting the notion that every learner is heterosexual.
