수필을 통한 문화 교육의 실제와 효과 연구

A Practice and Effect of the Culture Education by the Essay

Finding an another way of Korean language teaching through the culture education by the instrumental use of the literature is the purpose of this thesis. There have been many theories but few practices. So, I made it the core of this research that it shows the practices of the Korean language and culture education through the literature. Comparing with other literary genres, the essay has distinguished characteristics of instrument for Korean language teaching because it has words melted with everyday life and abundant cultural elements, and therefore can contribute to the thinking activation and the perception of the cultural differences. Here, selecting the essay named "Waterfall and Fountain" written by Lee eo-ryeong, the thesis suggests an experimental reading education model, which can be helpful for widening the perspective of comparative culture and understanding mutually other cultures. Finally, it could be confirmed that the effective value of the Korean language teaching by use of the essay literature is sufficient and we may have positive awareness about that value. Looking forward to developing more various teaching models beside this one.
