Abstract
This paper examines historical and cultural contents that are or should be dealt with in teaching Korean as a second or foreign language (L2). Many teachers and researchers have pointed out that in the field of teaching Korean as an L2, culture has often been dealt with in only superficial or fragmentary ways. This paper discusses ways to systematically organize the content around Korean history and culture to enable nonnative learners of Korean to broaden their understanding of Korea and enhance their intercultural communicative competence. Section 2 of the paper presents factors and methods of constructing contents for teaching history and culture that have been extracted from relevant prior studies. Section 3 examines the conventional syllabus and approach to constructing contents for teaching Korean history and culture to foreign students and overseas heritage learners. This study explored the possibility of basing the content of Korean language courses on the concepts of history and culture to provide a starting point for more effective and engaging syllabus design. Therefore, section 4 of the paper proposes alternative methods for constructing the contents of history and culture that can be applied in teaching Korean as an L2.
