대학수학능력시험 스페인어과 문화관련 문항 분석

Abstract

In the foreign language teaching, cultural competence is one of the sub-competence of communicative competence. Therefore, the 7th high school curriculum, provided by the Korean Ministry of Education, emphasizes the need of learning and teaching culture in a social and daily context. Because the foreign language students master the target language, contextualize the sociocultural informations and, finally, get a unified view of language and culture on the basis of the knowledge. However, the questions about Hispanic culture in CSAT(College Scholastic Ability Test) are not proper to this principle in many cases because there are some questions that can not be considered appropriate to test what students know about Hispanic culture. In addition, most of the questions about Hispanic culture can be solved if they understand the text; it means that the subject of the Spanish language in the CSAT requires not cultural competence of the students but linguistic competence. Therefore, it is very important to establish a criterion for the cultural contents of the Spanish language subject in the CSAT and for the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language, as the CEFR(Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) and the CPCI(Curricular Plan of Cervantes Institute) are now doing.
