한국어 학습자의 스테레오타입과 한국 문화교육– 학부 외국인 유학생의 한국인에 대한 의식을 중심으로 -

Abstract

This study is the first to specify the stereotypes of Chinese undergraduate students about Korean people. It is also the first to apply the analysed results to Korean culture education. The number of foreign students is increasing in Korean universities. Therefore, a teaching method that considers their affective domain should be provided in order to help their learning. There were few preceding studies on this topic, all of which set the object as ’all Korean learners.’ These studies were insufficient in understanding the stereotypes of ’foreign’ undergraduates. Therefore this study is also significant because it clarified the specific stereotypes of Chinese undergraduates, who make up most of the international students in Korea. In this study, surveys and depth interviews were used to thoroughly examine the stereotypes of Chinese undergraduates. 7 large categories were set up to classify the stereotypes. The categories were: ‘Appearance(286) > Food(239) > Attitude(168) > Personality(133) > Life and Hobby(123) > Understanding of Other Races and Countries(90) > Language(54).’ (Listed in the order of frequency) The ‘specific depiction’ section of the study was also analysed. The most common stereotype was that ’Korean people think appearances are important.’ Stereotypes such as ’Korean people overdrink and enjoy spicy food(kimchi).’ ’Korean people are polite and impatient’ were also found. These stereotypes were classified into four categories: Negative, Positive, Includes Both, and Neutral. Finally, this study suggested a ‘content of education’ reflecting the learners’ stereotypes. ‘Principles of education’ considering the stereotypes were also presented. The ‘standard of selection’ for specific education content was established. Specific stereotypes were presented, which Korean culture education should deal with in the future.(Korea national university of education)
