Abstract

The importance of education for Korean culture and literary education has been stressed in Korean language education as a foreign language over a few decades, and prolonged research efforts have been channeled into that. In Korean language education, a literary text not only serves as a material of language learning but as a means to have a more extensive understanding of Korean culture. Foreign readers are able to improve their knowledge of the Korean language and language ability based on the context of literature, and they are able to foster both of their elementary and advanced language skills thanks to the attributes of literature such as a figure of speech or symbol. Learners cannot grasp the meaning of words just by looking them up in a dictionary when they are used in literature, and they should find their by exerting their imagination and in consideration of the backdrop of the literary work, the personality of the characters and the contexts. They are able to improve their Korean language skills and literary competence in that course. The purpose of this study was to examine how to make use of literary texts in Korean language education for foreign students who stayed in our country for academic purposes to foster their Korean language skills and literary appreciation skills. It's specifically meant to explore the educational applicability and effects of parody and to suggest how to provide Korean language education by utilizing parody, as parody has been highlighted as one of major new cultural phenomena. When the needs of the selected Korean language learners were analyzed, it's found that they had a lot of interest in Korean literature. As for the reason, they were initially interested in literature or wanted to foster their Korean language skills or understand Korean culture through literature. They were ever exposed to Korean literature such as poetry, novels or essays while they received education about the Korean language, and many felt the need for literary instruction. After they took lessons by utilizing simple parody activities, their understanding was checked, and a survey was conducted. As a result, the parity activities were found to have significant effects on Korean language skills, Korean literature understanding and appreciation skills. When Korean literature education is provided for foreigners, the utilization of parody is expected to provide an opportunity for them to learn a wide variety of vocabulary, to appreciate literary texts, to have a more profound understanding of Korean culture and to improve their appreciation skills. They will get interested in literature, casting away any possible prejudice that literature is boring or difficult to read. And that will enable them to take their Korean language skills and literary competence to another level, and serve to motivate them to compose a literary work by stirring up their will to compose. In this study, parody was utilized primarily to encourage learners to appreciate Korean literary works with interest and in a spontaneous manner. That will become one of major activities that could lead to self-reflective writing.
