Abstract
Cheon Gyeongrok This paper revisited the curriculum of universities of education re- lated elementary Korean language teacher education(CUTE) based on its purpose, organization, operation, and evaluation. It is necessary to add teachers’ expectation that are embodied in phronesis (meaning practi- cal wisdom) in addition to the current competency-based approach. We suggest developing convergence subjects, expanding the roles liberal arts subjects, and strengthening the extra curriculum. Non-face-to-face classes should be maintained at about 25% of total classes following the COVID-19 pandemic with blended, flipped, and PBL learning. Moreover, course contents must also be renewed. Finally, a new system that is led by academy to evaluate CUTE should be introduced as well.
