근대 시기 서양인 한국어 학습자 관점에서의 한국 문화에 관한 연구

Abstract

This study analyzed the Korean cultural elements found in Korean language textbooks used by Western learners during the modern era. By examining their perceptions of Korean culture as portrayed in their writings, the study investigated the question: 'What aspects of Korean culture have foreign learners observed, and from what perspective have they viewed it?' Through examples, the study confirmed the conscious culture, behavioral culture, and conceptual culture perceived by foreign learners in Korean language textbooks. Additionally, analyzing works by Western learners of Korean according to the stages of intercultural sensitivity development, the study observed a progression from the 'denial' stage to the 'integration' stage. Based on these analyses, the study proposed the necessity of incorporating the demands and experiences of foreign learners into the selection of Korean cultural content in teaching and learning designs. Furthermore, the study suggested the need for cultural attitude education to approach other cultures through the process of intercultural awareness.
