문화소개란의 과제 분석 -현행『고등학교 일본어 I』교과서를 중심으로-

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to examine how the tasks for the learner studying seven kinds of textbook are handled to realize learner-centered teaching -learning activity and the most significant part is culture education under the current curriculum, especially the Korean-Japanese tasks for understanding different culture. Analysis target is the current seven kinds of high school text book 1. I investigated three domains ; first, cultural contents are covered independently, second, cultural contents are specified in learning objective, third, the content of the tasks and types are well organized. Analysis result shows that (1) there is a culture introduction column in the current seven kinds of high school text book apart from language function. (2) six kinds of textbooks consist of language function and culture except E textbook, which suggest “learning objective” with 84.5% on average. It reveals that such a result has greatly improved compared to Kim Se Ryun(2013)'s rate of goal suggestion that was 57% in 2007 revised textbook. (3) the single tasks and comparative tasks coexist and the rate of Korean-Japanese comparative tasks 67.1%, life culture area 63.8%, tradition and pop culture area 36.2%. Kim Se Ryun(2013)'s 2007 revised textbook leaned to life culture area 5.9% while the small deviation is in the current textbook. I also found that the way to suggest the tasks varied according to textbooks and every unit. (4) the way to suggest the tasks are ‘～let's investigate’, ‘～let's compare’, ‘～let’s research and present’, which contribute to develop learner's independent and comprehensive judgement in the task-centered learning. This result seems to reflect learner-centered discussion rather than teacher-centered knowledge delivery. However, the lack of specified experiental activity is unfortunate. I think the most important part in the class is the textbook, which should be well organized in the domain of learning objective and the tasks under the current curriculum. In addition to, in the light of mutual of cultural education, the higher tasks should be established to attract learner's motive and so many ways must be invented to meet learner's needs. I expect that this research will be great helpful in developing future textbook.
