포스트휴먼 시대 한국어 학습자의 다중문식성 교육

Abstract

This study addresses the development of a new educational direction for Korean language education in the post-human era, namely, the development of multiliteracies education. As the world is now enveloped in COVID-19, all fields are seeking new breakthroughs, and education in particular is the first to adapt to the post-epidemic era. This prepares new types of human resources for the post-human era, and actively responds to new concepts such as environmental mutations and the AI era at a later stage. Based on the above, this study takes Korean language education as an example of a humanities subject, and discusses how it can find its own new point of development and adapt to its surroundings in a way that provides a new concept of education. The study of multiliteracies in Korean language education has evolved in recent years, largely due to the development of science, technology and multimedia. This external environment has necessitated changes in traditional language education and has urged educators to reconsider educational goals such as the overall literacy of students. The New London Group, the first to propose multiliteracies, redefined the concept in 2013 and added elements of social activism and ethics in the virtual society to it. These two concepts are, of course, at the forefront of the future development of multiliteracies education in Korean language education, which is to prepare students to think about harmonious relationships with non-humans and nature based on a human-centred approach, and to articulate new ethical and moral concepts within the social framework of the virtual space. In line with this educational objective, researchers should take into account the diversity of today’s Korean language learners, the diverse requirements of the learners’ learning purposes, and the specialised and complex dimensions of teaching content. Furthermore, in terms of changing ethical and moral concepts within the virtual space, researchers should focus on developing learners’ ability to identify social issues through the media and how to deal with these social issues in concrete behavioural terms.
