This study aims to explore the application of Korean grammar research to Korean grammar education, with a specific focus on conjunctive endings. Conjunctive endings play a crucial role in Korean grammar and are also significant in the context of Korean grammar education. By examining the application of conjunctive endings, this research seeks to provide insights into how Korean grammar research can contribute to the field of applied linguistics. To accomplish this, the study first reviews the current trends in second language teaching theories and recent major theories. Building on the theoretical background, the research identifies three main focal points for conjunctive endings in Korean grammar education. These focal points are presented with concrete examples to facilitate a better understanding. Firstly, it is essential to examine the issue of reflecting changes in the perception of native speakers in terms of the authenticity of language. Secondly, the study emphasizes the importance of discerning distinctions between synonymous grammar items in terms of appropriateness in language item selection. Lastly, the research highlights the significance of teaching pragmatic meaning within context, particularly regarding the use of conjunctive endings in sentence-final positions. Overall, this study provides insights into the direction of future applied linguistic research on conjunctive endings for Korean grammar education, based on the theoretical background.
