A Study on the Necessity of the Contrastive Linguistic and Universal Grammar in Korean Education

There are several theoretical approaches in dealing with the acquisition of a second language. One of these approaches is the framework of the Contrastive Linguistics or Contrastive Analysis Hypothesis, which plays a somewhat important role in explaining interlanguage, and thus, within which most research on various linguistic aspects of second language acquisition has been conducted. However, they have some limits to solve in explaining the problems of L2 acquisition; that is, to say it fails to tell which type of phonological processes of L1 interfere in learning L2. I claim in this article that we need to adopt universality based on typology claimed by Greenberg and Universal Grammar claimed by Chomskians. I also show that markedness theory will be a great help in second language education including Korean education as a foreign language. I finally show some cases adopting universality and markedness in Korean education.
