근대계몽기 국어 교과서에 실린 한글 학습 자료의 특징

Abstract

This study aims to examine the features of Hangul learning materials in the Korean textbooks from the Enlightenment Period. It analyzes these features according to learning elements, the presentation order of learning elements, and aspects of the use of learning aids. These features were found in 13 of the Korean textbooks from the Enlightenment Period. The learning elements of Hangul learning materials from the Enlightenment Period included phonemes, syllables, words, and sentences. Phonemes or sentences were excluded depending on the textbooks. Most textbooks were structured for students to learn in the order of phonemes, syllables, words, and sentences. However, syllabary was presented after learning words or sentences as an exception. Some textbooks required students to learn syllables and words or word and sentence together. Pictures, Chinese characters, and English were used as learning aids in these Hangul learning materials. These were mainly used to show the word meanings at the word-learning phase. Among all these textbooks, Koomoonchyubkyung(1907) is recognized as a distinctive one as it presented English words as well, along with pictures and Chinese characters.
