Abstract

This study theoretically considered the identity in terms of 'cultural self-awareness education' in order to cultivate the intercultural communication ability of prospective Korean language teachers. Based on this, as a reflective approach to identity, it was intended to seek specific and practical educational measures for mutual culture awareness. To this end, the concept definition and type of identity were examined. In addition, the correlation between the characteristics of identity, language and identity, and intercultural communication and identity was confirmed. Through this, the plurality, relativity, dynamics, and variability of identity were confirmed. In addition, the characteristics of social identities that act as cultural components were reviewed. In addition, based on the fact that personal identity and social identity appear simultaneously in individual speech, the necessity and importance of considering identity in intercultural communication situations were confirmed. This study specifically presented cultural self-awareness education plans for prospective Korean teachers, which were rarely covered in previous studies, in terms of identity. In addition, there is a difference in that the effect was confirmed based on the actual class case. In particular, it is significant in that reflection on identity is not limited to the theoretical aspect but sought to improve communication skills between cultures in a practical sense.
