A Study on the Applications of Conjunction Endings Listed in the Korean Language Text

In case Korean is educated as a foreign language, the purpose, contents and method of the education should be fundamentally different from when Korean is taught as a native language. Korean language is agglutinative. This is best represented by endings for that language. People whose native language is Korean can naturally learn the meanings of those endings, limitations in the use of the endings and situations in which they can be used. But foreign learners who don't use Korean as they native language have no intuition about the endings for Korean words. And those learners have spoken their own respective native languages that are grammatically different from one another. For them, therefore, contexts in which Korean language is used morphologic, syntactic and somatic terms need to be educated in organized manners. Above all, conjunction endings for Korean languages have a lots of types each of which has lots of functions. For this reason, both Korean language learners and teachers can't help feeling that conjunction endings of Korean words are so difficult to understand. Grammars on those endings may be taught and learn by means of a particular medium, that is, text. More effective Korean language education requires a goof combination between learners, teachers and text. Out of them, text may be regarded a medium that connects learners and teachers harmonically. Researching what the text should be provides basic information necessary to analyze and evaluate conventional texts and create better materials. It also provides the basic knowledge of how Korean language education was and is. Therefore, Korean language texts need to be well prepared and organized enough to be easily communicated to learners by teachers and enough to be easily understood by learners. This study identified conjunction endings listed in Korean language texts. Then the study examined how Korean language learners were using conjunction endings that they learned and what morphologic, syntactic, semantic and compositive errors those learners were making in that use, ultimately helping build up the proper system of conjunction ending.
