Teaching Korean language and culture through local culture.
The purpose of this study was to suggest orientations, contents and methods for teaching Korean language and culture through local culture. I took a position that using local culture in Korean language education as an L2 diversifies teaching contents and methods and fosters in- and outbound glocalization of Korean language education. First, in chapter Ⅱ, I examined concepts such as local culture, locality, and glocalization with regard to teaching Korean culture as a C2. Next, in chapter Ⅲ, I suggested orientations, contents and methods for teaching Korean language and culture through local culture. Finally, in chapter Ⅳ, I presented two examples of teaching Korean language and culture using local culture. In this paper, I introduced a new perspective on teaching Korean culture as a C2 from which we can systematize various levels of Korean culture and richen contents and methods of Korean language education for nonnative speakers. However, this paper remains as a pioneer attempt at the Korean culture education research related to local culture for the concept of local culture has a wide range for discussion.
