This study aims to provide foundational data for developing teaching methods for the aspect marker -euryeogo hada. The expression -euryeogo hada distinctly separates its aspectual meanings from its modal meanings. For this purpose, the study examines the aspectual and modal meanings of -euryeogo hada, analyzes the usage patterns of native Korean speakers through the ‘daily conversation corpus’, and investigates the teaching and learning patterns in five recently revised Korean language textbooks. The corpus analysis reveals that 13.54% of instances of -euryeogo hada are aspectual usages. However, only one out of the five textbooks addresses the aspectual meaning at the beginner level. Based on these findings, this study proposes the necessity of teaching the aspectual -euryeogo hada distinct from preceding grammatical structures. The research suggests that the aspectual usage, indicating an action that is about to occur in the near future, should be taught differently from the modal usage, which represents intention or plan.
