This dissertation thoroughly analyzes conversations that appear in the contemporary Korean language textbooks by applying various relevant sociolinguistic factors. By doing so, the dissertation aims to improve current understandings of the structure and content of the conversations reflected in the Korean language textbooks, and at the same time, attempts to provide recommendations that will contribute to the further improvement of Korean language textbooks as a practical pedagogical tool of teaching and learning Korean. The following discussion summarizes the research approach taken in the dissertation and its findings. Chapter 1 raises some questions on textbook conversations and reviews extensively existing research s on conversations in Korean language education and linguistics. Chapter 2 explains the research methods used in the dissertation and constructs the standards and norms of the analyses of the data. Chapter 3 deals with the construction of textbook conversations. It is classified into three parts; the opening part, the body, and the closing part. The opening part analyzes addressing words, exclamations and greeting expressions in Korean language textbooks. Greeting expressions are basic and indispensable parts in daily conversations among people. They are also instrumental in understanding Korean language and culture. The greeting expressions that are appeared in 10 Korean language textbooks can be classified into 12 categories and a number of accompanying sub-categories by conversational situations and contexts. These 12 categories include: meeting situations, departing situations, sleeping situations, dining situations, leaving/coming home situations, visiting situations, requesting favors situations, thanking situations, congratulating/praising situations, appeasing/encouraging situations, asking regards situations, and telephoning situations. These categories are further divided by sub-categories and analyzed according to phatic communion. The teaching methods suggested in this study are culture education by the solidarity and some additional methods for teaching greeting expressions effectively. The body part discusses adjacency pairs related to speech acts and turn-takings. The closing part also analyzes addressing words, exclamations and greeting expressions in Korean language textbooks. Chapter 4 investigates 10 Korean language textbooks by classifying them into levels, topics, scenes, times, places, numbers of agents, the relationships between speakers, and genders. Chapter 5 then analyzes telephone conversations that appear in the Korean language textbooks. Telephone conversations are a routine and indispensable part of daily communication among people. The telephone conversations in the 10 Korean language textbooks can be classified into levels, topics, scenes, places, times, numbers of agents, the relationships between callers and receivers, genders, adjacency pairs, and turn-takings. In order to compare and investigate the content and organization of the various telephone conversations that appear in the textbooks and in real life, a survey of the Korean native speakers and the foreign students who are learning Korean as a foreign language are conducted. The survey consists of three parts. First, it collects personal information of Korean native speakers and foreign students. Second, it investigates questions related to the respondents' usage of telephone. Finally, it examines topics in telephone conversations and the usage of expressions in the beginning and the ending stages of telephone conversations using the DCT (Discourse Completion Test). The results of the survey are carefully discussed, compared, and analyzed with reference to the telephone conversations in the Korean language textbooks. This study will contribute to the further improvement of the organizational structure as well as the colloquial content of the telephone conversations in Korean language textbooks. Chapter 6, which is the conclusion of this , summarizes the findings of this dissertation and their implications for future research. By applying quantitative analytical approach on the topics described herein, the dissertation provides some useful recommendations concerning the structure and content of textbook conversations that will contribute to the further improvement of Korean language textbooks as a practical pedagogical tool of teaching and learning Korean. In particular, the dissertation can serve as a basis for further research in developing textbook conversations not only from the developer's perspectives but also from the learner's perspectives. In addition, the extensive and systemic dataset on comtemporary textbook conversations developed and utilized in the dissertation can serve as a catalyst for further research in the field. ，韩语毕业论文，韩语毕业论文 |
