협동학습(CIRC)을 적용한 한국어 읽기 수업 사례 연구

Abstract

This study aims to implement a teaching-learning method that can be applied to actual Korean reading classes from the viewpoint of the methodological perspective of Korean reading classes by utilizing cooperative learning as one of the learner-centered learning methods in Korean reading classes. Korean reading classes were conducted by applying cooperative learning for 12 weeks, excluding the introduction of lectures at the beginning of the semester, the midterm and final exams. This study attempted to present the reading class model in the Korean reading class as follows by applying the Havruta learning method by referring to the process-based reading learning model. When looking at the summary of the learners’ interview answers about the reading class applying cooperative activities, the most common answer was that they were interesting and not boring about the reading and writing activities with their peers. This can be attributed to the fact that students self-directedly conducted the process of reading and understanding texts with fellow learners. Also, looking at the feedback of learners, problems such as the number of small groups and the propensity of members should be actively intervened so that instructors can lead to activities of similar levels or individual roles through deliberate counseling with students. Because learners at the middle and lower levels of reading cooperated with the upper learners, their level of interest increased, and the part that they did not understand could be seen grasping the meaning through the learner’s native language. In addition, since the lower learners wrote in cooperation with the upper learners in writing, it was an opportunity to experience the thinking methods and strategies necessary for the higher learners’ writing. This study is significant in that it showed an example of a real class in which foreign students applied CIRC cooperative learning.
