언어생활에 대한 한문교육의 효용성과 교육방안 -중학교를 중심으로-

Abstract

This essay aims to seek for strategies to secure the learning of Classical Chinese vocabulary for daily use in Classical Chinese curriculum in more systematic ways. Through analyzing of middle school textbooks based on the 2009 revised Classical Chinese national curriculum, we understand that the textbooks expose several issues, such as connectivity between Sino-Korean words and reading materials of the textbooks, on extension of vocabulary learning by applying the pre-learned Chinese Characters, or on systematic arrangement and application of Classical Chinese vocabularies for daily use. Based on the textbook analysis, we suggest to set a large unit of "Chinese Characters in life", independent from other large units as one of strategies to solve the current problems. In this newly established unit, we should not only consider the corelation of four steps: 'Chinese Character' → 'Sino-Korean word' → 'sentence' → 'dis- course', but also weigh up the frequency of words, the basic vocabulary, the corelation rate between the meaning of Chinese Character and the meaning of Chinese word, as a standard of selection. We expect that through making a part of Classical Chinese vocabulary for daily use independent and teaching it in its own organize system, Classical Chinese education not only has the advantage of teaching Sino-Korean words more effectively, but also, to a certain degree, gets freed from restraints which are supposed to occur in the process of selecting or explaining Classical Chinese reading materials.
