일본어 중급독해의 수업 방안 －독해 전 학습자 주도적 활동을 중심으로－

Abstract

Nowadays, Reading comprehension focuses on the content based second language instruction. This paper investigates what kind of information leaners collect as pre-reading activity, and how this information activates learner’s schema at Japanese reading class. Reading process can be divided into 3 steps, which are pre-task, reading activity and follow up. If leaners have background knowledge about Japanese literature or cultures before reading, it will be easy to understand contents of the text. Textbook for reading comprehension does not have much information about literature or authors. So, teacher make leaners to investigate about author’s information (including background of life, view of the world, writing style), related materials, or story of literature. This activity can be effective as follows. •Leaners can feel interest in Japanese literature by introducing familiar things. •Author’s view of the world can help learners to understand literature. •Leaners can formulate hypothesis before reading. After the semester, teacher surveyed leaner’s satisfaction about pre-reading activities and the result shows high level of leaner’s satisfaction.
