외국인을 위한 한국가곡 자료개발에 대한 제안

The Development of Korean Gagok (art songs) Teaching-Learning Material for Foreigners

이 연구의 목적은 외국인을 위한 한국가곡 교수 학습 자료를 개발하는 것이다. 한국가곡은 음악적, 예술적, 문화적 관점에서 세계와 나눌 충분한 가치가 있다. 영어문화권이나 라틴문화권의 노래들이 널리 애창되는 것에 비하여 한국가곡은 세계에 잘 알려져 있는 상태가 아니다. 그 주된 원인은 한글이 국제 공용어가 아닌 것과 체계적인 가곡 자료의 개발이 없었다는 점을 들 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 한국가곡의 세계화를 지향하는 시작점으로 한국가곡을 세계 사람들이 부를 수 있는 자료개발에 초점을 맞추었다. 어떤 가곡을 우선 선정할 것인가? 자료개발은 어떤 내용을 담을 것인가? 어떤 형식/방식으로 제시할 때 자료접근의 수월성이 확보될 것인가? 개발된 자료의 타당성은 어떻게 담보할 것인가? 한국가곡 뿐만 아니라 가곡과 연관된 한국의 문화 공유를 위한 이상적인 자료형태는 무엇인가? 에 대한 방안을 논의하였고, 그에 따른 예시안을 제시하였다.

The main purpose of this study is to develop Korean arts song(Lied) teaching-learning materials for foreigners. A Korean pop star- PSY has shaken the world with his hit song the “Kang Nam Style”. This became a big motivating factor for Koreans for proudly introducing Korean pop culture to the world. Korean composers have cultivated Korean arts song culture for more than 90 years. Beginning of 20th century, Korea has opened its door to western culture, and since then numerous Korean arts songs were composed by Korean composers. 〈울밑에선 봉선화: Garden balsam under the shadow〉, 〈명태〉(Dried pollack), 〈그리운 금강산〉(Longing for Mt. Keum Kang) are some examples. The researcher believes that now is the right time and moment to share that rich Korean arts song culture with the world. Main problems of sharing that rich Korean arts song culture with foreigners are two kinds, language barrier and lack of well-developed Korean arts song teaching & learning materials. Since the Korean is not the international language, it is really hard for the foreigners to understand the meaning of Korean arts song and to sing by listening to it alone. In this study, the writer proposed a carefully planned sequential approaches for world wide spreading of Korean arts songs. And the development of art song teaching & learning material is the starting point of the proposed procedures of spreading Korean arts songs out the world. Suggested Korean arts song teaching & learning material consisted of two types of sources, namely text(learning of music) and context(learning about the music and related culture). In the domain of text, music(with Korean and international phonetics text), song Mp3, lyric Mp3, and motion picture of actual performance of the song are included. In the context section, a note for the song, information on composer and lyric writer, meaning of the song, right occasion of singing that song, and other necessary information for learning that song are included. A sample Korean arts song entitled 〈청산에 살리라: I will live in the deep blue mountain〉 written by Kim, yeon Jun is given as a model to raise a further discussion on developing Korean arts song teaching material for the foreigners.
