ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to analyze the cultural items of Korean textbooks to find an efficient way of selecting the cultural items and of presenting the cultural contents in Korean textbooks. The need for cultural education in Korean language education is increasing with the significant increase in the number of the Korean language learners. Although this need is prevalent, it is still not enough to learn about Korean culture from current Korean textbooks because there is not an approved standard to select the cultural items and the educational method for the cultural contents. This study tries to examine how Korean cultural education is going by extracting cultural items from reading and listening texts and the 'Culture' columns of Korean textbooks of intermediate level and to find an efficient way of selecting the cultural items and of presenting the cultural contents in Korean textbooks. The result suggests some points to be modified or improved in Korean cultural education. This study is significant as it recognizes the importance of cultural education in Korean language education and attempts to find an efficient way for Korean cultural education by analyzing the vast real-world data. The result of this study is expected to provide information on anticipated future studies in Korean cultural education for proficient communication in the Korean language. Another expectation is that there will be many other studies in Korean cultural education focused on various subjects such as how to select the essential items of Korean culture and how to teach the detail items.
