ABSTRACT

Recently, with the development of Korean popular culture, the number of Korean language learners has also increased, and accordingly, many studies are being conducted on ways to educate Korean culture through popular culture. Many researchers were interested in popular culture education and proposed educational methods, but because they generally only conducted one-off studies, it was difficult to consider and systematically plan the direction of popular culture education. Therefore, in this paper, I designed a concrete plan for cultural education through movies and dramas among popular culture genres and attempted to infer the direction of popular culture education based on the results. First, based on the contents of previous studies, the principles of the class were set as ‘learner participation class’ and ‘co-construction’ between a teacher and learners, and a specific plan for cultural education using the drama <Itaewon Class> was presented. The overall structure of the class can be briefly summarized as ‘selecting a popular culture text, finding cultural codes, and analyzing and evaluating cultural context’, and it was suggested that this process can become a large framework for popular culture education. Above all, it is most important to encourage learners’ participation throughout the entire course of class. In conclusion, it can be expected that learners will not only enjoy popular culture, but will also be able to satisfy their needs for cultural knowledge and improve their ability to understand other cultures through popular culture education.
