Teachers should teach learners to become astute observers of proper language use and interactions in second languages and second cultures for good communications(Hall 1999). Second language learners can participant in interactions by analyzing the customary meanings and personal usages in literary works. Poetry education has various meanings such as metaphorical language, active and emergent participation(Shin 2013), and the new semantic construction or emergent structure of these literary expressions can be understood using the process of Conceptual Blending(Fauconnier & Turner 2002). In this study, we try to find a teaching method by using conceptual mappings in the process of understanding Yun’s poems. The learner can read the poetry and understand the meaning through observation and analysis. By learning through the Conceptual Blending using the contextual cues, it becomes possible to understand the creative meaning. Teaching to communicate in appropriate manners for Korean culture is a process of helping learners understand the way of thinking in this language community. (Hankuk University of Foreign Studies)
