The purpose of this study is that we discuss the problem of communicative function of the Korean speaking task in the intermediate level teaching material and present the proper communicative function contents of the intermediate level speaking.
Recently, in the main stream of the Korean education, it is focused on communicative language teaching; therefore they develop the education materials including the syllabus which combines the function, task and grammar. However these materials have the problems that their classification of communicative function is obscure and non-systematic. It is because of that they don’t define the communicative function with the grammatical meaning of grammar contents and task activity.
The communication signifies that they understand thinking and meaning of others. Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing, among those 4 communicative skills, Speaking is the mostly using and demanding skill in terms of the learner’s study needs. Speaking education in the beginner level, they target the improvement of the ability of a command of language with proper grammar content in an appropriate situation. This study reviews about the communicative function that they learn in earnest the speaking activity focusing on communication in the intermediate level of speaking.
In this study, we examine the communicative function with the theoretical background on the basis of “Notional-Function Syllabus” and Speech-Act theory. Therefore we propose that the communicative function is considered same as Speech-Act in the Speech-Act theory. And we study of the object and teaching method of the intermediate level of Korean and present the feature of the intermediate level.
In Chapter 3, we present the problems that the function of Korean teaching material is complicatedly mixed with grammar, function and task and the function of the intermediate level of speaking is non-systematic, using the comparison and analysis of the Speech-Act communicative function in the practical speaking activity and the function which presenting in the syllabus of the teaching material. We propose the function accordingly that the communicative function in Korean education; it shall be based on the Speech-Act theory.
In Chapter 4, we set up the selection principle of the intermediate level of speaking function which focusing on language education of the intermediate level and choose the content of the intermediate level of speaking function reviewed with the analysis result of the communication function of speaking which discussed in Chapter 3.
The communicative function in this study is based on the Speech-Act theory. This study is significant that it is indicating the problem of existing study and proposing the solution by setting up the communicative function in real practical speaking activity.
The contents of communication function of the intermediate level of speaking in this study; they can be utilized for the reference to develop Korean teaching materials and syllabus and can be great help to discuss for the classification of the Speech-Act in Korean education.
