The Concept of Viewing of The 2022 Revised Elementary English Curriculum

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the new terminology of ‘viewing’ which was adopted as a completely new educational concept in the English subject matter. Since the digital textbooks have been introduced until now, the 2022 revised Elementary English curriculum required primary students to get their digital literacy through the skills of ‘viewing’ and ‘presenting.’ Students will learn such a skillful technology as both skills managing various kinds of learning items displayed in the digital textbooks. Several characteristics which were found out from one of the sample digital textbooks developed by KERIS are as follows: first, each lesson has a lot of contents as a form of video clips for viewing activities using various kinds of digital media. Second, each lesson has such items as forms of sound and visual modes and students can activate whenever they want to learn with integrated skills. Students get their English knowledge with watching and listening several clips at digital textbooks as well as at the same time they are reading English film with English subtitles. Third, each lesson has new or inexperienced technological terms for students to learn for viewing activities. Finally, the term of viewing seems to be an integrated with locutionary as well as illocutionary aspects of English. In other words, the viewing in elementary English subject matter seems to be an integrated learning skill to express what students think creatively using various digital media tools by using computer technology. Students need to have enough time and chance to experience digital technics in before class.
