한국어 학습자 대상 한글 맞춤법 교육 방안

Abstract

In this study, the Korean language norms were considered to be within the minimum range of norms in Korean language education because they are the norms that Korean speakers should follow in their language lives. In particular, Korean orthography must be treated as an educational content in Korean language education, but it is not appropriate to educate Hangul orthography as an independent area as in education for Korean native speakers. Since Korean orthography is based on basic grammar principles, Korean language education needs to integrate the principles of Korean orthography, especially in the grammar area. In this study, we explored the direction of Korean spelling education, referencing specific examples of how Korean orthography items should be reflected in Korean language education. Considerations for integrating Korean orthography into Korean grammar education are as follows. First, Korean learners learn written language simultaneously without fully knowledge and ability of spoken language, so they need to understand the difference between spoken and written languages. Second, Korean learners lack intuition in spoken language and lack problem-solving power in the use of written language, so if necessary, the principles of Hangul orthography should be given as reference information to enhance understanding and production. Third, native speakers have difficulty in writing what they already know how to speak of, Korean learners are likely to have difficulty speaking the written language, so it supposed to be focused to teach and learn how to speak written language.
