20세기 초 일본인을 위한 한국어 회화 학습서 연구

Abstract

The aim of this study is an analysis of conversation textbooks published in the beginning of the 20th century for Korean learners of Japanese in terms of content and presentation style. To this end, seven textbooks have been selected that focus on the conversation among the books published at that time. I researched how the criteria of the textbook units is arranged, the presentation of the dialogue, the way the authors mark the speakers of the dialogue, and whether or not they have translations and phonetic value of dialogue in Japanese. In addition, I researched the change of overall content and presentation style over time. In conclusion, the features of conversation textbooks for Korean learners of Japanese have changed over time. At first, most textbooks were organized by subjects and situations such as daily life, personal relationships and friendships, nature, jobs, and business. Next, the textbooks began to include practical dialogues relating to daily life, friendships, and jobs at the beginning, but the subjects they dealt with were shifted towards business contexts and abstract concepts. After the year 1910 when colonization over Korean was full-fledged, content for teachers and civil servants was fortified and policemen textbooks were published. Thirdly, sentences for practicing conversation were presented as dialogue or isolated sentences; mixed forms of sentences also appeared in the same units. When dialogues were used they cannot be completed in terms of meaning. Fourthly, even though their focuses are conversation, five textbooks do not have the title of the speakers. Five textbooks present sentences marked with numbers. One textbook presented sentences without any marks. Fifthly, all textbooks presented Korean sentences with a Japanese translation, and only one book includes phonetic value. Finally, Six textbooks have a vocabulary section that comprise of semantic parts with dialogue. Among them, five textbooks present vocabulary by subject, such as daily life, interpersonal and social relations and business related words. These words strongly reflected situations of those times.
