A Study on the Teaching Method of Korean Division Culture Using News Texts for Advanced Learners As communicative education method became dominant in recent Korean education, Korean culture education has become an important conversation topic. Ability to understand the culture is important in second language acquisition as well as linguistic ability. Although the Korean culture education for foreign learners has been gradually improving, it is still mainly fixed on teaching Korean living culture and traditional culture. The content and objective of culture education for advanced Korean learners are as follows: ‘Ability to understand and grasp unfamiliar topic that spans politics, economics, social, culture, etc’. As this shows, it is necessary for advanced learners to comprehend political, economical, and social aspects of Korea. The division situation of Korea is one of the most unique cultural factors that constitute the Korean society. Military tension against North Korea ed by the media, people who lost their families and hometowns, North Korean defectors who escaped North Korea in order to survive, and Korean people’s thoughts of unification are cultural factors that clearly reveal the division situation that Korea is facing. Despite the huge effect that the division has brought to the Korean culture and society, the topic related to the reality of division has failed to receive attention in the Korean culture education. This calls various cultural factors derived from the reality of division ‘Division Culture’ and performs research about it. The Division Culture will be classified into political aspect, humane aspect, and ideological aspect based on researcher’s criteria, and its details will be presented. News is selected as the medium of instruction that gives instruction about Division Culture, and the scope of the news text used in this is limited to articles based on facts, editorial pages, and editorial cartoons. The periodical range of the news text is from 2012, the year of Kim Jeong-Eun regime’s establishment, to 2015. The composition of this is as follows. In the first chapter, the suggests the objective and necessity of the research and presents the examination of preceding researches and research methods. For preceding researches, research about culture education for advanced learners, research focused on Division Culture in Korean culture education, and research of Korean education that uses newss are reviewed. The necessity of education related to Division Culture in Korean culture education is revealed and the effectiveness of educating through news text is examined through reviewing preceding researches. In the second chapter, the necessity of educating Division Culture to advanced Korean learners will be examined. Based on the preceding research that studied the TOPIK evaluation standard by level and the content of culture education for advanced learners, this will suggest that the instruction of Division Culture is needed for advanced learners. In succession, it will single out what kind of Division Culture education content will be taught. After taking a look at the Division Culture content revealed in preceding researches, it will summarize and propose the sub categories and details of Division Culture. In the next paragraph, it will prove the adequacy of using news text as a teaching material of Division Culture by discussing the educational value of news. The characteristic of news text depends on the type of writing. In the third chapter, it will discuss about what kind of news text will be selected for the Division Culture instruction. The first paragraph proposes the standard of selecting utilizable news text at Korean education field and selects appropriate news text based on this standard. It also classifies news texts based on the Division Culture education context mentioned in Chapter 2 and examines the contents. News materials used for this research include articles based on facts provided by Yonhap News Agency and editorial and cartoons published by Joongang Ilbo and The Hankyoreh; these are all published between 2012 and 2015. Data was collected consulting the internet websites of relevant news publishers. The fourth chapter proposes the application of selected news texts at Korean culture education fields. Judging that it is possible to instruct Division Culture through topic-based approach, it will arrange educational steps including ‘Pre-reading Procedure’, ‘Reading Procedure’, and ‘Post-reading Procedure’. Then, based on this learning model, it will propose the actual instructional method for advanced Korean learners from various linguistic backgrounds. This research is meaningful in that it selects educational contents for Korean Division Culture for advanced learners and proposes instructional methods for Division Culture using news texts. Division Culture education is necessary for foreign learners who try to perform a deep study of Korea with specialty as well as for learners who hope to understand Korea more tri-dimensionally and deeply. The range of the research materials had to be limited since the amount of news text related to Division Culture was voluminous. This research has limitations in that the periodical range of news texts was between 2012, the year of Kim Jeong-Eun regime’s establishment, and 2015, and only limited amount of news texts of several news publishers was used; it has failed to cover all aspects of Korea’s Division Culture. The military tension caused by division and aspiration towards reunification is the most sensitive and realistic culture that constitutes the Korean Peninsula. By understanding the Division Culture of Korea, foreign learners will be able to deeply understand Korea. We hope to see further researches about Division Culture and its education in many ways. ，韩语论文网站，韩语毕业论文 |
