한국 문학교육 활성화를 위한 한국어 교사 양성과정의 교과과정 개선방안

Abstract

Recently, the status of Korean literature came up in conversation and there have been extensive discussions. And, it’s very clear that Korean literature in the Korean language education is one of the best teaching materials not only as a tool for communication but for individual growth. To strengthen the Korean literature status in the Korean language education and revitalize its usage actively, it is necessary to focus on teachers. Because, diverse and creative Korean literature classes can be possible depending on capability and flexibility of teachers as Korean language education is not a national level standard education course. Therefore, it’s the fastest way to review the courses for prospective teachers and generate better alternatives. First, I reviewed Korean literature classes in the degree and non-degree education programs for prospective teachers. The review results show that current classes in 4 categories are lack of systematic educational contents and classes in the category, which are designed to provide literature education theory, are rarely offered. Also, diverse study materials should have been developed and wide range of prospective teachers’ capability also should have been considered. Therefore, it is necessary to develop literature education theory as soon as possible and standardize systematic class curriculums by subjects in the category 3 and 4. Additionally, study material reflecting the above direction should be developed and there should be a separate education course for foreign prospective teachers. To realize all of the above, cooperation and active knowledge exchange with experts is very much required.
