A Research on Development of a Korean Pragmatic Educational Model for Teaching English-speaking Advanced Language Learners

The purpose of this article is to examine for methods that integrate the pragmatic differences derived from cultural differences into Korean language education curriculum. The main research question is to find out whether presenting ample information on Korean pragmatics and culture instead of teaching direct discourse patterns or linguistic expressions would enable them to show appropriate pragmatic performance using the given information or not. For this, analysis of learners' needs for understanding Korean pragmatics is done and a special Korean pragmatic educational model is developed according to the results. In this model, learners share their opinions on Korean pragmatics, do the role-play in a given situation, and have a thorough discussion on their performance, through which they could realize the differences between English and Korean pragmatics and further correct their pragmatic errors. This new model can be considered as a desirable way for teaching Korean Pragmatics for English-speaking advanced language learners in that it is based on learners' needs analysis, utilizes Korean cultural and pragmatic information, and encourages learners' voluntary participation in task performance and discussion on the results.
