This paper analyzed the present syllabus of Korean language major in India and suggested ways to develop a more systematic Korean language major syllabus for India. The status of Korean language major in India is a subject which is not yet appropriately studied. However, with the recent increase in Korean language interest in India, Korean language major is also slowly emerging in various universities within the country. Without a proper study into the syllabus, curriculum, or students, it is impossible to know the status, problems, or provide suggestions to improve the quality of Korean language major in India. As such, this paper analyzed the syllabus of Korean language major in JNU (Jawaharlal Nehru University), the leading institute for Korean language in India. The syllabus was analyzed on the criteria of aim and objective, the course selection and sequence, and the target level. Analyzing the results, the syllabus of Korean language major in India does not have a precise aim and definite objective, which leads to a disorganized course selection and sequence. This problem also extends to the target level, where it is not clear what level the course is or the level at which the students graduate. Based on these findings, the paper suggests points to improve the syllabus of Korean language major in India.
