This paper aims to discuss the problems faced by Indian students majoring in Korean language while translating the story "The Ropewalker" from Korean to English by analyzing their translation errors and suggest more effective ways to give students guidelines to produce better translation work for different translation situations. For this research paper, 15 Indian students of Korean Language are selected and each is made to translate portions from the novel "The Ropewalker" by Yi Chong Jun. The translated texts are then analyzed thoroughly based on the findings of text linguistics, especially those of Beaugrande and Dressler (1981)"s Seven standards of textuality and discussed. A text can only be called a text if it satisfies all the seven standards of textuality. Analyzing the errors shows that among Beaugrande and Dressler"s Seven standards of textuality, most of the errors are seen in coherence, informativity and acceptability. Lastly, this research was taken up with the hope that it will provide a guide to help avoid such translation errors in the future
