As other KLT courses, KSP programs require KL teachers’ good knowledge and collaborative team-work with subject matter professionals. The target needs analysis was done to enhance the effectiveness of KSP course for medical workers. Triangulation was used to collect the data for identifying the ‘needs’, ‘lacks’, ‘wants’ of medical doctors. Triangulation method was consisted of semi-structured interview, questionnaire and observation. The results from the data were shown in pie chart and tables below. Statistics showed that doctors who are native Uzbeks have good background of knowledge of Korean but have some ‘needs’ to enhance the communication skills.
