Abstract

A Study on the Plan for Creating Pronunciation Sections of Korean Teaching Material for Chinese Beginning Learners: Focusing on Nasalization, Of all the phonological changes of the Korean language, nasalization is an area for which Chinese learners find it particularly challenging, due to the difference in phonology between Korean and Chinese. The cause for this can be summarized in two ways: First, because Korean has several phonological phenomena at the boundary between syllables, Chinese learners who lack understanding and awareness of phonological changes have difficulty in pronunciation when applying the rules, according to respective environments, when consonants are consecutively presented. Second, there is insufficient education of the phonological process in the Korean language. Currently, those studying Korean at universities in China generally take Korean language courses through teaching materials that integrate speaking, listening, reading, and writing and most pronunciation training is only presented at the beginning of integrated teaching courses. For this reason, there is minimal opportunity for meaningful practice to adequately learn the pronunciation rules for phonological changes. Accordingly, the present study examined the nasalization of the integrated teaching material in detail, given the need for improvement of the nasalization sections of teaching material for beginning learners. The results are as follows: First, the level of difficulty is not considered in the content and order. Second, the explanation for pronunciation rules is insufficient even though it is a teaching material for beginners. Third, the words used to describe the rules and those used in practice are difficult so that its usefulness is quite low. Fourth, the unification of learning types and the amount of learning are extremely insufficient. To solve the above problems, this study presented ways to improve teaching materials for effective pronunciation training for Chinese beginning learners. Additionally, it is hoped that it will be used as part of the study of a pronunciation education series that can solve the pronunciation difficulties that Chinese learners encounter.
