A Study on Teaching and Learning methods of Korean Language through Traditional Fairy Tales

The purpose of this paper is to set up a course model for teaching and learning the Korean Language by using Korean traditional fairy tales. The paper is based on a classroom course entitled ‘Textology of Korean Traditional Fairy Tales’, which I have led at the Section of Korean Studies, Sofia University “Saint Kliment Ohridski”, Bulgaria. This paper shows that traditional fairy tales are ideal teaching materials for integrated teaching of the Korean language, i.e. they are suitable for intermediate and high levels of Korean language learners to increase reading, writing, listening and speaking skills and to obtain cultural knowledge of the target language. The author deals with various activities which are carried out during the whole process of the teaching and learning course. He shows how to organize a course of teaching and learning Korean as a foreign language, examines examples of teaching and learning activities which can be done before the class hours, during the class hours and after the class hours and also shows how to fulfill the evaluation process. In conclusion the paper mentions that there are many merits achieved by using fairy tales to teach and learn practical Korean and suggests this teaching method be applied by colleagues in Korea and abroad.
