Abstract

This paper examines the significance and implications of literature education by comparing and analyzing the characteristics of the unit composition method and teaching and learning method shown in the Korean language textbooks and teacher guides in the United States and Korea. In terms of the unit composition method, American textbooks are composed of literary works, and Korean textbooks are composed of goals. The unit composition method is also directly related to the content and method of teaching and learning. Literature teaching and learning in the United States focuses on grasping the subject of literary works, the relationship between character events, and the relationship between text and the real world, and this teaching method is repeated in all units. On the other hand, in Korean textbooks, the contents of the curriculum are organized to learn around the unit goals and subsequent goals, and the goals are different for each unit. Goal-oriented classes are effective in achieving the goals of the unit, but they are neglected to grasp the overall theme of the work, and reduce the pleasure of appreciating literary works. In light of the nature of literary education, the teaching and learning method of American textbooks is more suitable for the purpose of literary education. The Korean language textbook system should consider ways to improve the purpose of literature education effectively.
