韓国人上級日本語学習者の漢字の書き誤りに関する一考察

Abstract

This study aims to suggest directions of Chinese character education for advanced-level Japanese learners in the future by analysing misspelled Chinese characters which appeared in essays written by 63 Japanese learners belonging to Japanese-related majors of D university, who passed JLPT N1(Level 1 as an old version of JLPT), between 2009 and the first semester of 2012. In line with the analysis results, directions on Chinese character education are as follows:① Have learners memorize Chinese characters by dismantling their images and parts, and teach them meanings of individual Chinese characters. ② When teaching Chinese characters, make sure that learners understand left parts of them ③ Direct learners to memorize accurate pronunciation of each word first, and then make them aware of whether there is a sonant within the pronunciation ④ Despite the fact that both Korea and Japan use the same Chinese characters, make learners aware of that an identical word can be used in different meanings if the word is used in different meanings and usages in learning materials(this direction is only applied for Japanese educators able to speak Korean).
