The purpose of this study is to analyze the current status of communication education for adult learners at each university in Korea and the perceptions of teachers and administrators, and to secure data for establishing communication education methods and teaching and learning strategies suitable for adult learners.. The researchers conducted a basic survey on the status of communication education operated by universities participating in the in Korea and conducted interviews with professors and administrators. The current status of communication education for adult learners at each university and the perception of the person in charge were analyzed. According to the survey results, most of the communication education for adult learners of each university applied the communication education system operated for school-age learners mutatis mutandis. According to an in-depth interview on the current status of communication education operation at each university, communication education for adult learners was insufficiently differentiated from the undergraduate curriculum and lacked specialization. In addition, a separate support system for adult learners to improve communication competency is insufficient. Participants recognized that communication education was being operated in a form that did not meet the actual needs of learners due to academic operation that did not take into account the characteristics of adult learners, and that curriculum and contents customized for adult learners should be developed urgently. Therefore, in this study, it is argued that, in order to substantiate communication education for adult learners, it is urgently necessary to develop a track-based curriculum that can be operated tailored to the needs of adult learners, and educational contents and materials that consider the level and experience of adult learners. In addition, for this purpose, each university proposes as a core task to secure a full-time faculty in charge of communication education for adult learners.
