2009 개정 한문과 교육과정 중 ‘언어생활과 한자 문화’에 대하여

Abstract

‘Speech function and the culture of classical Chinese character’ is a new mid-size category of educational curriculum revision in 2009. In this paper, I explain interrelation of ‘educating the culture of classical Chinese character’ and ‘educating speech function’ by giving specific examples. I think the educational curriculum revision in 2009 focused on securing a clear view of our speech function, based on our traditional culture and cultural area. In practice, sometimes we can understand the meaning of a word without capturing context. I divide these cases into three and try to analyze like below. First, vocabulary which came from the classics. I give some separate examples. Though these are not classed as ‘idiom originated in an ancient event(故事成語)’, we can understand easily if we catch the reference. Second, vocabulary which came from linguistic custom. It includes allegory, inference, synecdoche and so on. In this case, the important thing is learning linguistic custom. Third, vocabulary which came from the cultural backgrounds. I also give some separate examples. I examine the possibility of teaching and learning method using these words. I realize that ‘speech function’ and ‘the culture of classical Chinese character’ are in complementary relations.
