This study researches on effective teaching methods of auxiliary particle ‘eun/neun' to the entire Chinese-speaking learners. As one of the most commonly used particles in Korean, ‘eun/neun' plays an irreplaceable role in both spoken language and written language.
However, Chinese students have been struggling with the grammar of ‘eun/neun', mainly because there is no corresponding grammar items when translated into Chinese. As a result, it has to draw support from the adjustments of order, the height of accent, pauses and the use of modal particles. In addition, the vast majority of Chinese learners in Intermediate or Advanced courses may not fully understand the usage and the meaning of ‘eun/neun' because of its variety of meaning and wide distribution.
Therefore, considering the difficulties of learning ‘eun/neun' mentioned above, this would discuss effective teaching methods of auxiliary particle ‘eun/neun' by following process below.
First of all, Chapter 2 depicts the meaning and distribution of ‘eun/neun' based on existing researches. The meaning of ‘eun/neun' can be divided into ‘topic' and ‘contrast', and ‘contrast' can be further divided into ‘contrast(explicit)’ and ‘emphasis/implication(implicit)’. And the distribution of ‘eun/neun' would be interpreted from combined aspects of the uninflected words, inflectional form of predicate and adverbs.
Then Chapter 3 states the teaching-learning aspects of ‘eun/neun' by textbook analysis and tests. Textbook analysis is to analyse and compare the educational contents of ‘eun/neun' in five volumes of Korean textbooks. These selected textbooks are currently being used for Korean language education in both Korea and China. As a result, some issues exist in the education of present as follows. Firstly, educational contents of ‘eun/neun’ are fragmented and the way to explain it is very simple and limited. Additionally, the contrast research has not formed and the corresponding practice or learning activities are not appropriate.
On the other hand, tests are taken to examine the learning aspects of ‘eun/neun' among the entire Chinese-speaking Korean learners and the results of tests can be found in the following issues.
First of all, the difference between ‘eun/neun’ and ‘i/ga’ has been an annoying part to all Chinese learners because the content of distinctions of these two particles does not appear in the materials. Secondly, because of the extremely simple and incomplete description, the abbreviation and omission of ‘eun/neun' have also been difficult problems to plenty of beginning learners. Thirdly, with no systematic education on the distribution of ‘eun/neun’, a lack of understanding can be commonly seen among intermediate and advanced learners. Meanwhile, due to a variety of distribution of ‘eun/neun’, it becomes hard to identify the meaning in a sentence even for advanced learners.
In fourth chapter, based on the discussion above, the educational contents and teaching methods for each course are designated. The contents of education for ‘eun/neun’ is the difference between ‘eun/neun’ and ‘i/ga’, abbreviation and omission for beginning learners, morphological distribution for intermediate learners, syntactic distribution and meaning division for advanced learners.
Next, according to flow of the current foreign language education, Communicative Language Teaching is regarded as the main teaching method in this research. And on the basis of the PPP(Presentation, Practice, Production) models, this study presents the teaching-learning models which consist of the process of ‘Introduction, Presentation· Description, Practice, Activities, Finish’.
In these teaching methods, the educational contents in each course are presented systematically and sequentially,韩语论文,韩语论文范文, and described in more details. Furthermore, the contrast researches are introduced and a variety of learning activities are brought in with the teaching methods of ‘eun/neun’. If the teaching methods are applied in the future, they will become a more efficient way of improving both understanding and productive capacity of auxiliary particle ‘eun/neun’.
