TOPIK 읽기 지문에 나타난 성취문화 분석 - 한국 문화 교재와 비교를 중심으로

Abstract

This paper is to review the achievement culture shown in the reading passages of the TOPIK, to confirm the appropriateness of communication skills and to obtain guidelines for later cultural education. Achievement culture is a term in Hammerly (1986). Achievement culture is distinguished from behavioral culture and information culture. Achievement culture includes ‘arts and literature’ and ‘cultural heritage’. As a result of analyzing a total of 810 TOPIK advanced reading texts in this paper, 293 texts containing cultural elements were counted. In order to confirm the reality of this distribution, the distribution of achievement culture in 4 Korean cultural textbooks used in Korean language classes was compared and analyzed. Out of a total of 63 subjects in Korean cultural textbooks, 22.2% of achievement cultures were. The achievement culture of the textbook was about 6% lower than that of TOPIK. As a result of checking the contents of the cultural textbook and the TOPIK achievement culture, there were differences in the areas that were emphasized. For smooth communication, it is effective to learn cultural contents in daily life rather than requiring cultural knowledge of the target languagecountry for cultural education. Achievement culture can focus on conveying cultural knowledge rather than cultural content in terms of communication. Therefore, it is necessary to pay special attention to the method of teaching achievement culture.
