Abstract

This study formulates teaching methods of self-reflective writing through folktales for intermediate and advanced Korean language learners, examines various aspects of learners' self-reflective writings and discusses its educational significance. Self-reflective writing is a type of writing for establishing values and attitudes in life through identifying one's true image through a certain object, performing self-examination and discovering one's potential for self-modifications. There must exist an medium for introspection in this process. This study brings in folktales as the medium and chooses and uses <Ondal the Fool and Princess Pyeongkang> as the main text for self-reflective writing to show personalities and values of various individuals. Teaching and learning stages for self-reflective writing through folktales consists of four steps which are reading the text of folktales, first free-writing without any restrictions of form or content, second writing of sympathy of a character from the folktale and thoughts on the theme and third writing of deeper self-examination involving instructor's feedback and experience of oneself. The following are the aspects shown by the learners on self-reflective writing through folktales. First, the students identified one's image through assumptions shown in the folktale. Second, the students attempted self-examination through an exemplary character in the folktale. Third, the students enriched value consciousness through self-experience. The significance of self-reflective writing through folktales is that it contributes to not only the writing ability but also to self-examination and establishment of identity of the Korean language learners.
