1972年 漢文 敎科 位相 變化에 對한 斷想

Abstract

Since a Law of Education and its Implementing Ordinances were amended in 1972, Chinese literature has had an independent status in secondary schools. Although Chinese literature had been taught before 1972, it had been regarded as a part of Korean language curriculum. So the law that gave the Chinese literature an independent status laid the groundwork for great change in Chinese literature education. Until 1972, the Chinese literature education had suffered from a difficult, embarrassing time. Since the Gabo Reform of 1894, there had been self-awakening movements that called Korean language ‘Gookmoon’ in writing and ‘Gookuh’ in speaking, both of which mean that Korean language is our national language. Those who supported the enlightenment triggered the conscious movements. After that, those who were constantly interested in Korean language led the language policy in Korea. However, the policy was based on the sentimental nationalism that we should restore the primary status of Hangeul(Korean language) that had been taken away by Chinese Literature and use the Korean language exclusively. As a result, Chinese literature and Chinese characters were thought of as negative, feudal things and objects of fighting. In addition, Park Chunghee, the former president in South Korea, supported exclusive use of Hangeul policy, so he announced the Seven Measures for Promoting the Exclusive Use of Hangeul on 25th October, 1968, then forbade the use of Chinese characters in every official document from 1st January, 1970. In addition, the competition with North Korea in language policy intensified the exclusive use of Hangeul(Korean language). On the other hand, the trade and economical cooperation with Japan suggested that the change in declining status of Chinese literature should be required. This thesis is focused on showing that, during the social conversion time, the language policy was led by the power men and those linguists who supported the exclusive use of Hangeul, and the political, economical relationship with North Korean and Japan affected the status of Chinese Literature.
