사회적 관계 형성을 지향하는 한국어 교육에 대한 고찰

A Review of social networking approach to Korean language education in Japan.

This paper aims to explore new direction of Korean languge education in Japan. Firstly, a project on foreign language education in Japan (Meyasu) is reviewed, which takes foreign language education as ‘pedagogy’, not as training. In the project [Meyasu], the goal of foreign language education is not only to acquire the skill of ‘how to communicate’, but also to make/find out ‘what to communicate’ , to build a relationship ‘with the person to communicate with’. As a methodology for this global society oriented Korean language education project, [Meyasu] introduces project based learning (PBL) and backward curriculum design(BCD). Secondly, a case of a PBL class which is designed for sophomore class of Korean languguage department of a university in Japan. There are 6 groups in the class, the goal of the project is making a short video clip which gives a brief instruction about Gaigosai, the camapus festival of the university. There are many positive comments from students. Every group of the project made a team, showed consideration. And the video clips are well finished and many students mentioned the improvement of pronunciation, vocabulary, and expression skills through the project period. There are some work to be done, the problem of how to reconcile the linguistic contents of traditional language learning with the new social networking approach in class. Points are as follows : 1) Listing up the linguistic items linked to the social networking approach in Korean language education. 2) Developing different meaningful and learner oriented activities.
