중학교 일본어 교과서에 수록된 인사말에 관한 연구

Abstract

This study analyzes Japanese greetings in five Japanese middle school textbooks in Korea based on revised government’s curriculum in 2015 by classifying them into 12 situations. The first thing that the study has found is that out of 36 greeting expressions suggested by the 2015 revised curriculum, just 15 greeting expressions are commonly presented in the five textbooks. Therefore, it is necessary to include the rest of the essential expressions in the future textbooks. Secondly, most of the greeting expressions are introduced in pictures. Thus, additional explanations including meanings, usages and detailed features must be included. Thirdly, the textbooks mostly present ‘friend-friend,’ ‘teacher-student,’ or ‘parent-kid’ conversations. But there are many greetings taken place in other relationships, so the textbooks need to add more diverse interactions between a wide range of speakers and listeners. Fourthly, most of the situated dialogues introduced in the textbooks happen in schools or homes. Therefore, it is necessary to present various situations taken place in many different places.
