남북한 어문규범 통합의 지향점과 학교 통일교육 : 맞춤법과 띄어쓰기를 중심으로

Abstract

The differences of the language between the two Koreas not only makes it difficult for North Korean refugees to adapt to South Korean society, but also poses a major obstacle to social integration after reunification. It is necessary to introduce educational contents on this problem as an important theme in unification education in schools to deal with the issues of inter-Korean language integration. Differences in vocabulary, phonetics, and speech expressions have been mainly studied as obstacles to language adaptation experienced by North Korean refugees. These problems are difficult to resolve academic issues easily and are still hard tasks requiring long-term efforts. On the other hand, the integration of language norms is a relatively easy-to-access area of social rules, and at the same time, it is a very sensitive issue for North Korean refugees because it causes social stigma and psychological alienation. Using the case of spacing and notation of Saishiot(ㅅ) as the subject matter, the approach to language integration in unification education was reviewed. It was suggested to take care not to become an obstacle to the machine processing of Korean language information while taking complementary integration and emphasizing traditional old native vocabularies as a principle. This approach is easy to harmonize with the trend of unification education in the era of multi-culturalism aiming at promotion of social integration and inspiring self-esteem of all concerned. It will be a case where greater results can be expected when approaching cross-curricular learning under the title of unification education. It is better not to be limited to Korean language education or Korean language education as a foreign language, where it is difficult to easily change the contents of education.
