A Study on Methods of Teaching the Korean Conjunctive Ending ‘-ㄴ데’

This paper examines the usage of the Korean conjunctive ending, ‘-ㄴ데’ Both students and teachers encounter difficulties in learning the Korean conjunctive ending, ‘-ㄴ데,’ because its form varies depending on the words it is joined with, while multiple relationships exist with preceding and escorting clauses. When this ‘-ㄴ데’ form is taught to beginners who are not yet familiar with the Korean language, it acts as a learning barrier of even greater difficulty. Students generally tend to use vocabulary and grammatical expressions learned in early stages more frequently. Since the ‘-ㄴ데’ conjunctive ending is usually taught early on and it is used often, the frequency of its use naturally causes many errors. In this report, the meanings of the ‘-ㄴ데’ conjunctive ending are explained with a focus on its semantic functions, with classifications of contrast, backgrounddescription, and cause-presentation. We also present teaching methods which apply these semantic classifications to actual classroom situations.
