Exploring the Methods to Utilize Fan Fiction for Korean Language Learners Based on K-Wave

This study aims to explore the possibility of utilizing fan fiction as an education method to teach K-culture based Korean language. Korean language education using fan fiction is a new attempt to reflect the expectations and demands of Korean Wave-based learners through active participation. In this study, we discuss the specific meaning and educational benefits of fan fiction and searched for ways to utilize it in the Korean language education field. Based on case studies conducted overseas, we observed the educational impact of fan fiction resulting in voluntary language learning and improvements in learners’ language aptitude through active feedback and various communication activities. In order to apply this fan fiction to the Korean language education field, it was important to establish “affinity spaces” along with how and where voluntary and active communication could take place in educational challenges. This study is meaningful in that it explored ways for K-culture based learners to learn Korean actively and efficiently through fan fiction. It also presents educational spaces and measures that meet the needs of the timely requirements, where the importance of online classes is emphasized.
