An apparatus and a method for inputting keys of a terminal having a touch screen are provided to enhance user convenience by solving a problem that when a key is inputted, the region of an output screen image is reduced. A display unit(222) outputs a background image or a screen image of an executed application, and when a key input event occurs, the display unit(222) outputs a translucent keyboard on the background image or the image of the application in an overlap manner. A touch sensing unit(224) is positioned on the display unit(222) and senses a touch. When the key input event occurs, a controller(200) outputs the keyboard on the screen image outputted from the display unit(222) in the overlap manner and checks whether the touch sensed by the touch sensing unit(224) is for key input. If the touch is for a key input, the controller(200) controls so as to receive a key of the position corresponding to the touch and output the same to the display unit(222).
