Development Scheme of Korean Vocabulary Textbooks for Self-Study

The purpose of this study is to propose a development scheme of vocabulary textbooks for self-study through ‘incremental vocabulary learning strategy’. Generally, vocabulary is considered as what learners should acquire on their own responsibility. Therefore, it is necessary to develop vocabulary textbook which considers such a self-studying environment. Also, the meaning of the vocabulary should not remain in the level of simple translation but it should be presented in a way that enlarges and deepens the meaning throughout the various contexts. For this purpose, incremental vocabulary learning strategy is needed, which does not simply depend on learner’s memory. The self-studying vocabulary textbook proposed in this study is significant as the following. Firstly, the textbook is not a material for teaching but for self-learning. Secondly, the textbook does not integrate all functions of language learning but it separately focuses on the vocabulary learning. Thirdly, the textbook provides learners, who have inferior memory, an easy mechanism to learn vocabulary by adopting incremental vocabulary learning strategy.
