Abstract

This study has analyzed the patterns of writing in Korean language by western people presented in Korean language textbooks published in the early 20th century. As one of the strategies to make good teaching method guidelines for Korean language, this study analyzed the writing patterns in Korean language by westerners. The first step in Korean writing was 'sentence writing'. There were translation, substitution, grammar-based sentence writing, meaning-based sentence writing. The second step was 'expanding writing' and 're-writing'. The case in 're-writing' is 'Read the proverb and write the meaning again' or 'Listen to a Korean folk-tale and write it down in Korean language.' 'expanding writing' is writing in addition with word or phrase. On this stage, students were supposed to listen to or read Korean language texts and recreated what they comprehended in Korean. The third stage was 'writing a long text.' In other words, it was 'writing a complete text freely.' Western people were supposed to write an explanatory note or dialogue script about Korean cultures such as religion or marriage. Also, they wrote texts that show structural and syntactic characteristics of grammatical features. Materials of this stage reflect that textbooks and teaching system of Korean language for western people which have been developed and accumulated from the 19th century have finally reached quite a high level. Westerners who tried studying Korean language in earnest starting from the late 19th century naturally started writing in Korean while making study materials of Korean language from the beginning of the 20th century. The researcher of this study could found historic data and values about westerners' Korean language composition by tracing texts written by western people in the past.
