A Study on Greeting Expressions in Korean Language Textbooks and Effective Teaching Methods for Them

This study investigates greeting expressions in Korean language textbooks and suggests some teaching methods for them. Greeting expressions are basic and indispensable parts in daily conversations among people. They are also instrumental in understanding Korean language and culture. The greeting expressions that are appeared in 9 Korean language textbooks can be classified into 12 categories and a number of accompanying sub-categories by conversational situations and contexts. These 12 categories include: meeting situations, departing situations, sleeping situations, dining situations, leaving/coming home situations, visiting situations, requesting favors situations, thanking situations, congratulating/praising situations, appeasing/encouraging situations, asking regards situations, and telephoning situations. These categories are further divided by sub-categories and analyzed according to phatic communion. The teaching methods suggested in this study are culture education by the solidarity and some additional methods for teaching greeting expressions effectively.
