이 논문에서는 자기소개서 장르 관습을 살펴보고, 그를 바탕으로 자기소개서 쓰기 지도를 위한 교육 내용 선정 방안을 제안하였다. 자기소개서는 입학이나 입사를 원하는 지원자가 필자가 되어, 지원 학과의 교수나 회사의 인사결정권자를 독자로 설정하고, 대학 입학이나 입사 시험에서 선발되기 위해 독자를 설득하는 글이며, 주로 인쇄 매체를 통해 전달된다. 자기소개서의 내용 요소는 ‘지원 동기’, ‘적ㆍ인성 적합성’, ‘향후 계획’으로 구성된다. 자기소개서는 내용 구성 요건으로 통일성과 타당성을 갖추어야 하며, 표현 요건으로 경제성, 명료성, 응집성, 일관성, 어휘의 적절성, 어법의 정확성을 갖추어야 한다. 따라서 자기소개서 쓰기 지도를 위해서는 자기소개서의 개념 지식과 자기소개서의 장르 관습에 대한 지식을 가르쳐야 한다. 그리고 쓰기의 과정 따라 어떤 전략을 사용할 것인지를 가르쳐야 한다.

This thesis is a study on the external practice of a self-introduction statement depending on such factors as a writer and a reader, the purpose of writing and a way of communication, and on the internal practice of the statement's text itself. Also, in this paper, I suggest how to select contents for teaching self-introduction statement on the basis of the findings. A self-introduction statement is a brief self-introductiory account intended to persuade its reader to select him or her in a competitive entrance examination, whose writer is supposed to be an applicant desiring for an admission to a school or to a company and whose reader is presumed to be a professor of the department he/she is going to apply, or a recruiter, a prospective employer, or personnel manager. A self-introduction statement consists of 'motives for application,' 'appropriateness in terms of aptitude and personality,' and 'future plan.' A self-introduction statement is required to be coherent, and valid in terms of content composition, and it should satisfy the required conditions such as economical efficiency, clarity, cohesiveness, consistency, lexical appropriateness, and correctness of usage . Therefore, I propose that it is necessary to teach knowledge about the generalized concept and typical 'genre' writing practices of a self-introduction statement. In addition, which strategy to be used for drawing up a good self-introduction statement according to the writing procedure - planning, producing contents, organizing contents, drafting, revising and editing - should be taught.
