ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to examine and suggest alternatives to minimize the problems of units in Korean Language History of Korean Language 2 text book which is applied 2011 Korean Language Curriculum. The problems in the textbook are divided into three categories: first, the constitution of units is not fulfilling the objectives of 2011 Korean Language Curriculum. Secondly, the developing method which summarizes briefly Korean Language characteristics of the age is mentioned. Third, selection of irrelevant material with the text is regarded problematic. This study, therefore, suggests the solution to minimize those problems. Firstly, the major unit of Korean Language History should be subdivided into two small units, “Understanding of Korean Language Changes” and “Direction of Improvement of Korean Language”. This is because Korean Language History units has strong aspects of Korean Language knowledge, and therefore to achieve the objectives set in the curriculum, the characteristics of Korean Language should be explained as easily and specifically as possible. In addition, the perception of Korean Language Education in academic world should be changed. The academic community has been searching activation plan of Korean Language History education outside of the curriculum, not within the curriculum. This paper considers that attitude as problematic. That is, grammar education including Korean Language History suggests learners to innate grammatical system by him or herself. This is from the attitude that considers the grammar field as basic knowledge of Korean Language activity field, and could be problematic because there are unsuitable aspects with the fundamental characteristics of the field of grammar. As Korean Language History has stronger aspect of knowledge aspects than any other fields, direct explanatory method could be effective. Current textbooks provide materials only or minimize the explanation because of the obligation that it should provide units with materials (texts) based on the perspectives stated above. This could impede achieving the objectives of Korean Language Education. The change of perception, therefore, is needed, and this paper suggests explaining in detail rather than just providing materials based on the fact that the objectives of Korean Language Education lie not only in enhancing Korean Language activity capability but also in promoting organized understanding of Korean Language knowledge.
