The objective of this study was to examine the effects of an emotional fairy tale-based conceptual class model on young childrens linguistic competence and to provide basic information for developing effective teaching and learning methods. The subjects of this study were 40 young children in two five-year-old classes of H Kindergarten in G City, and they were divided at random to an experimental group (n=20) and to a control group (n=20) A conceptual class model with activities telling emotional fairy tales was applied to the experimental group, and the control group had activities telling ordinary fairy tales. The childrens linguistic competence was measured using the test sheet developed by Jang Yeong-ae (1981) and revised and supplemented by Park Ae-ja (1996). According to the results of this study, linguistic competence was significantly higher in the experimental group who experienced emotional fairy tales through the conceptual class model application. In addition, among the sub-factors of linguistic competence, vocabulary,verbal comprehension, and verbal expression were positively affected by the conceptual class model application in the experimental group. These results suggest that the application of an emotional fairy tale-based conceptual class model may be utilized as a new teaching-learning method for enhancing linguistic competence in the field of early childhood education.
