Research on Teaching Rhetorical Question for Advanced-level Korean-learning Students: Focusing on Argumentative Writing

The purpose of this research is to assert the need for education in written rhetorical questions for advanced-level Korean-learning students and to present appropriate educational materials. Particularly focusing on the usage of rhetorical questions that are often used in clarifying writer's assertion in argumentative/persuasive writings, this research seeks to present teaching materials on the forms and meanings of rhetorical questions that are necessary for students in constructing argumentative writings. In order to demonstrate the insufficiency in the teaching of written rhetorical questions in current Korean-learning education, Korean-learning study materials that are published by Korean-teaching institutions were reviewed and for the areas that material analysis could not suffice, interviews were conducted on teachers who have abundant experiences in teaching advanced-level students. In order to extract the forms that make up written rhetorical questions, newspaper editorial which is considered a representative type of a persuasive text was analyzed and as a result, the usuage of ‘-는가/은가/ㄴ가’, ‘-을까/ㄹ까’, ‘-나’ was confirmed as an ending when written rhetorical questions were used. Furthermore, the result of analysis on previous methods of grammar dictionaries and errors made by students was utilized in order to present detailed study materials.
