본 연구의 목적은 외국어로서의 한국어 교육에서 문화유산의 교육적 가치를 밝히고, 이를 활용한 한국어 문화교육 방안을 제시하는 데에 있다. 최근 한국어 학습자의 증가로 한국어를 배우는 동기와 목적, 학습자의 요구 등이 다양화되었고, 이에 따라 문화적 성취동기도 높아지게 되었다. 언어에는 다양한 문화적 내용이 담기게 되므로 언어 능력의 증진을 위해서는 문화적 이해가 필수적으로 전제된다고 볼 수 있다. 특히 한국어와 한국학 관련 전공자들은 한국어와 한국문화에 대한 깊은 이해가 선행되어야만 전공 학습과 학문적 성취가 가능하기 때문에 문화교육의 중요성이 더 강조된다고 볼 수 있다. 한국어 문화교육은 학습자의 목적과 수준에 따라 다양하고 체계적으로 이루어져야 하며, 문화에 대한 단편적인 지식보다는 목표어 문화 구성원들의 관습을 해석할 수 있는 문화능력 증진에 중점을 두고 이루어져야 한다. 본 연구에서는 한국어 문화능력을 높일 수 있는 교육 항목으로 문화유산에 주목하고 이를 활용한 문화교육 방안에 대해 살펴보았다. 민족문화와 역사, 민족의 정체성을 담고 있는 문화유산은 민족마다의 고유성을 지니면서도 인류 보편적 가치에 대한 공감을 이끌어낼 수 있는 교육소재이다. 특히 최근 문화유산에 대한 관심의 증가로 문화 콘텐츠 산업이 활발하게 이루어지고 있으므로, 이를 활용한 문화교육은 매우 유용하리라 판단된다. 본 연구는 한국어 문화교육에서 문화유산의 교육적 가치를 밝히고 문화유산 콘텐츠를 활용하여 실제적인 교수방안을 제시했다는 점에서 의의가 있다. 앞으로도 수준별・내용별 문화교육 프로그램의 다양화를 위한 다각적 방향에서의 연구가 이어지기를 바란다.
The importance of cultural education in Korean language education has long been emphasized, because the language of a country is closely bound up with learning about the culture of the nation. Indeed, cultural education is of great importance for learning a foreign language, and the necessity of education that focuses on fostering an ability to interpret the customs of the discourse community rather than offering fragmental knowledge of culture should be stressed. In fact, however, current cultural education for teaching Korean has just been conducted as what's additionally needed for language education, though the importance of cultural education is recognized. Cultural education is included in the curriculums of educational institutions that teach the Korean language, but this education is provided just fragmentarily as part of the language curriculum. Cultural education cannot be successful if it is offered fragmentarily without considering actual contexts. Therefore it should be avoided to present cultural information only as supplementary materials or without being properly connected to what's taught in class. Instead, it's advisable to teach learners to infer naturally about the given contexts by presenting practical materials. To make it happen, the kind of educational method that provides a variety of contents for learners to experience, apply and analyze in person is required. In recent years, the number of learners who learn Korean is on the rise, and their motivation, learning goal and needs are diversified. Besides, they have a strong cultural achievement motivation in accordance with their learning goal and needs. The example is learners who major in the Korean language, Korean studies, Korean culture, Korean history and Korean economy. Accordingly, cultural education for teaching Korean should be conducted in a systematic and diverse way in consideration of the goal and level of learners. In this study, problems with cultural education for teaching Korean are pointed out. Cultural education mostly centers around daily linguistic culture, and this education is not diverse enough to satisfy the needs of advanced learners. Korean culture is presented just briefly or as supplementary materials that aren't properly linked to what's taught in class. Therefore how to provide cultural education for teaching Korean by taking advantage of cultural heritage was explored in this study. Cultural heritage is one of educational items to improve the Korean cultural competency of advanced learners. That represents national culture, history and identity and is an educational material which shows the unique features of the nation and can gain empathy as universal value of mankind at the same time. Specifically, the cultural contents industry is lately very dynamic along with growing concern for cultural heritage, and cultural education that utilizes cultural heritage seems to be of great use. The purpose of this study was to examine textbooks, cases of cultural experience and contents used in cultural education for teaching Korean in an effort to determine the state of the utilization of cultural heritage in Korean language education. And it's also meant to shed light on the educational value of cultural heritage and to seek ways of taking advantage of it in cultural education for teaching Korean. Cultural education for teaching Korean that uses cultural heritage is expected to make a contribution to the improvement of the Korean proficiency of advanced learners by increasing their understanding of Korean society and culture, and that also is expected to exercise a positive influence on the diversification of cultural education for teaching Korean in terms of level and content and on the improvement of practical teaching.
