A Semiotic Analysis on the Format of Video Materials for Korean Language Learning

This study aims to analyze the format of video lecture materials for Korean language learners in the view of Semiotics. Two materials from the King Sejong Institute Foundation, a public institution, were selected, and analysis standards were prepared employing Saussure’s structural semiotics, and NVivo 12 Plus was used as an analysis tool. As a result, either the external and internal domains were not clearly separated, or heterogeneity was found in the internal information to which the same rule should be applied, thus violating the ‘binary opposition’. In addition, the variability of ‘value’ was reported as a specific meaning was expressed by several signs or a single sign was used in several meanings. These results implied that the format of video lectures was less systematic than that of printed textbooks. For educational application, some application measures for the reported problems were proposed. An example of application of ‘binary opposition’ in terms of hierarchical arrangement or design of information, and another one of using a ‘sign’ in which the signifier, i.e. the language information, was properly combined with the signified such as font, color, line or figure design, and icon in consideration of the relationship between ‘paradigmes’, were presented.
