A Tentative Plan for Various Levels of Korean Literature in Korean Education as a Second Language

Until now, it has been discussed considerably to teach about the Korean Literature as a part of the Education of the Korean Language, and some consensus about the course of instruction seems to emerge from the discussions. Literature class as a part of language instruction was suggested in the form of a linguistic model, a cultural model or a human growth model of the instruction. Also, discussants or teachers of the Korean Language who have a practical view on the language instruction tend to appreciate the significance and value of the literary instruction as a way of the Korean Language education. The Korean literary works provide a number of good Korean sentences as well as some contexts or situations in which the Korean Language is exchanged. Despite these discussions and the subsequent consensus, actual plans of the Korean Literature instructions are yet to be prepared. The previous discussants have disregarded the practical issues which might arise from the implementation of the literature instructions. Therefore, a model of literature class developed by those who are mainly interested in practical application of the Korean Literature is urgently needed. The present study proposes a tentative plan for the beginning, intermediate and advanced classes of the Korean Literature while focusing on some famous Korean poems in the past time. The proposal tries to show the usefulness of the Korean literary works for the Korean Language education in that they provide a special training in learning the language. The Korean literary works are not only linguistic materials but also teaching aids instilling the culture of aesthetic sentiments.
