일제강점기 개량서당의 일본어교육에 관한 연구

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the reality of Japanese language education carried out at the Gaeyang Seodang during the Japanese colonial period. We examine the teachers in charge of Japanese language education and the Japanese textbooks used from the Sokanfu period to the Japanese colonial period. An important point of Japanese language education at Gaeyang Seodang during that time was its intention to promote Japanese colonial education. Secondly, though it can be compared to the simple schools actively developed after the 1930s, simple schools provided a two-year short-term final education that did not allow advancement to higher-level schools. After completing a certain period of education, Dou was recognized as having completed a two- or three-year course at a regular school and allowed to advance to a six-year regular school. Conversely, the teachers in charge of Japanese language education helped the head teachers at the school learn Japanese in seminars in the early days. However, the period was actually very short, and proper teaching appears to have been lacking. Finally, analysis of the four-year version of the “Normal School Japanese Language Book” compiled and published in 1933 reveals that the Japanese language education that the Japanese Empire had developed in Korea was thoroughly discriminatory.
