This paper proposes a teaching approach for advanced Chinese learners of the Korean language through the analysis of Nongga-gujang (Nine Songs of farmers) written by Wi, Baek-Gyu (1727-1798). The teaching method is concerned with current educational issues on students' identity formation and personal growth in the process of learning the Korean language and culture. Wi, Baek-Gyu was a rural Confucianist during the late Joseon dynasty period. His representative work, Nongga-gujang is composed of 9 pieces of sijo ((lyrical three-line verse written in the vernacular) texts showing realistic farming stories and folkloric features. The teaching methods proposed in this paper are expected to enable advanced Korean language learners at Chinese universities to go beyond general communicative competence. By studying the Confucian elements within Nongga-gujang, the learners are expected to examine the role of Confucianism in Korean language and culture. Furthermore, the teaching of Korean culture within a traditional Confucian linguistic setting hopes to provide an opportunity to reflect on the value of Confucianism in East Asia.
