중국의 어문 교육과정 분석 연구

Abstract

The purposes of this study were to analyze the language curriculum of China announced in 2011 and offer implications for Korea to consult in future curriculum development. The language subject holds the greatest importance in China's education. It was analyzed to inherit the tradition of embodying the national spirit and, at the same time, display a future-oriented aspect of making active responses to the rapid flows of the times. The language curriculum consisted of five domains including learning the Chinese characters, reading, writing, communication in spoken language, and learning the totality. It set specific learning objectives to embody the basic characteristics of language education, namely instrumentality, humanities, and unification. In the language education of China, love for the mother tongue and the active responses to new communication environments can serve as meaningful reference points in the revision process of Korean language curriculum. It is, on the other hand, needed to make a careful approach to it since it does contain different aspects from Korean education in the simplification of educational content, concrete patterns of text selection, and setting of subareas.
