한(韓)-콘텐츠를 활용한 한국어 언어문화교육 연구

Abstract

This study aims to examine how intermediate and advanced learners of Korean accept and reproduce the goal culture after a language-cultural education programme conducted with Korean cultural contents. This research issues some significant results and implications as follow: The first result comes out from the analysis of the learners assignments after having a teaching session with Korean cultural contents, which include contents extracted from TV programs and commercials. The data collected from the students show both the processes of adaptation and integration of two different cultures. This implies that learners’ adaptability to the goal culture does not seem to be affected by the culture-specific characteristics of the teaching materials but rather adapted by the intercultural competency that individual students have. Second, on the contrary, the process of cultural integration is observed in the same manner when learners are educated with either materials of culture-specific or culture-universal contents. This can be interpreted that learners can reach the point where they can integrate the source and the goal culture, overcoming cultural-relative perspective through education. This study emphasizes significance of interactive teaching and learning in a language-cultural classroom. Learners are better able to understand linguistic meanings if utilizing appropriate language-cultural media texts.
