2022 교육과정 개정에 따른 중국어 교육의 변화와 발전을 위한 제언

Abstract

This paper examines the major revisions of the 2007 (2009), 2015, and 2022 versions of the 7th Curriculum, comparing the goals, directions, and key features of the Chinese language curriculum amendments. The Chinese language curriculum, which has undergone several revisions since the 7th Curriculum emphasized a shift towards a choice-centered curriculum, aims to cultivate not only Chinese communication skills but also cultural understanding, inclusiveness, and community awareness through language learning. It seeks to equip students with core competencies and adaptability to cope with the uncertainties of future society. Particularly, digital competence emerged as a key theme in the 2022 revision, and new teaching and assessment methods were proposed to enhance students’ problem-solving abilities and self-directed learning through a learner-centered education foundation. In line with the goals and directions of the 2022 revised curriculum, this paper prioritizes specific recommendations for the realization of Chinese language education. It suggests the design and utilization of digital Chinese textbooks, which have not yet been concretely implemented unlike other major subjects, and the development of tailored teacher training programs. Furthermore, as the government is poised to drive digital education innovation, the paper emphasizes the necessity of moving beyond theoretical discussions to actual implementation. The analysis and recommendations presented in this paper aim to provide meaningful insights for ongoing discussions regarding the linkage of Chinese language subjects, teaching, learning, and assessment.
