외국어로서의 한국어 교육을 위한 어휘 교수·학습 방안 제안

Proposals for learning and teaching vocabulary in ‘Korean as a foreign language: based on examples of German as a foreign language

In the education of German as a Foreign Language learning and teaching vocabulary was often neglected as a task, that the learner was supposed to fulfill mostly by self-study. But due to the development of structural word semantics and lexicography, methods for vocabulary training have been developed systematically. After cognitive psychology and especially the concept of the mental lexicon was introduced into the field of foreign language education, the process of vocabulary learning gained more attention. This process can be divided into three phases: introduction and understanding of vocabulary; practicing and memorizing vocabulary; and activating vocabulary. First, the methods, that are most widely used in each of the three phases, are introduced and explained with examples. This theoretical part is followed by two concrete examples of systematic teaching and learning of vocabulary based on textbooks for German as a Foreign Language.
