Recently, as the number of international students in Korea continued to surge, liberal arts Korean subjects were opened for foreign undergraduates in universities and the importance of Korean language education was further emphasized. Accordingly, discussions on the development of a curriculum that can improve international students' Korean language skills are also being actively conducted. However, the development of liberal arts Korean textbooks, especially at local university institutions, which can be used in liberal arts Korean subjects, has not yet begun in earnest. Although foreign students have completed a predetermined Korean language curriculum at a university-affiliated language education institution, they are complaining of difficulties in taking major classes due to the lack of Korean language skills of international students who have entered the undergraduate department. This can also be a reason for giving up studying because they cannot adapt to college life. Therefore, the need for Korean liberal arts courses to improve their Korean language skills and improve their studies is emerging. To this end, this study examines the current status of liberal arts Korean curriculum at local university A and the requirements for the development of liberal arts Korean textbooks. Based on the topic, it presents a textbook development plan that can be used in actual education.
