The purpose of this study was to investigate to what extent Korean college students can acquire vocabulary from reading course materials. The participants were 32 college students who enrolled in a TEFL methodology course. A vocabulary test was administered at the beginning and the end of the course, and the results showed that the participants were able to recognize meanings of an average of 3.6 new words, suggesting that small but significant amounts of incidental vocabulary learning can occur as a result of reading course materials. The findings also showed that there was a statistically significant relationship between the number of times each word occurred and its relative learning gain. The results of this study suggests that incidental vocabulary learning is possible from reading even though the amount of such learning is not large. Implications for vocabulary learning and teaching are discussed.

Recognizing the importance of culture in language learning, this paper suggests a cultural education through the use of Korean proverbs. Proverbs not only reflect how people think and live, they also cover various themes. Korean language learners have difficulties in understanding Korean proverbs because they contain elements of Korean culture. Korean language learners should be systematically educated in proverbs to effectively communicate with Koreans, as well as to better understand Korean culture. Therefore, it is essential to study how to teach them effectively, and a cultural education textbook based on this study will have to be published. Proverbs education methods have focused on understanding. We will focus on expression education as well as understanding education. This type of textbook will offer a chance to easily learn korean proverbs by providing an interesting format. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the best direction for teaching Korean proverbs, and to present a lesson as a model about their education.

The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 14(1). This study investigated the nature of literacy in textbooks for women's education in the modern enlightenment period. Expectations of literacy in textbooks greatly differs from the literacy level of people in reality. Although textbooks are the means for realizing educational goals, the implications of literacy presented can vary according to the educational system, textbook writers, and target audience. This examination of textbooks for women's education in the modern enlightenment period focused on various aspects such as changes in the content presented and the language used (e.g., Hangeul, translations from Chinese classics, Chinese characters). Textbooks for women's education in the modern enlightenment period reflected the plight of women who strived to acquire knowledge but were limited by literacy and the duties of everyday life. There seems to have been a great divide between the literacy level of these women in reality and that presented in educational texts. Consequently, attempts were made to understand women's life in the modern enlightenment period by investigating the acquisition of literacy by women and the processes involved in women becoming full-fledged members of society.

The textbook is the materials of teaching for teachers and students, and is sorted into the unit by the topics. If such units combine with some factors that are involved with the topic organizationally well, the text may be helpful in its own way. Thus, this study is to analyze the textbooks that have been used in Korean language learning context with the regard to both the construction of the unit and organization of such that construction, and to investigate whether the textbook could promote the learner’s communicative ability to express their target language (Korean language) in the real language context or not. For this analysis, this study should follow up on these progresses. First of all, (1) this study attempts to identify some of the basic concept related to the textbook in chapter 2, (2) chapter 3 suggests other studies which have been done previously (3) chapter 4 presents the framework in the design of units, (4) chapter 5 analyzes the textbook with the framework suggested above. Finally, in chapter 6, this study sets up some components of the units making topics by focusing on the notion of organization.

When we closely look into Korean particle usage of Korean learners, we can find many misuses in Japanese language learners even if Japanese language has similar word order and particles structure as well as English Korean language learners whose language is different to Korean in language order and no particles structure. The purpose of this study is to find out the actual condition, how the Korean particles education for Korean language learner is being processed to make clear how various type of misuses in particles usage of Korean language learner are resulted from the Korean language education locale, the correlation between manifold particles misuse and korean language learning contents in language learning locale. To bring these actual Korean particles education condition, firstly we are going to examine the frequent Korean particles misuse of Korean language learners, and then compare the Korean education locale for particles. These comparison will be helpful to suggest the efficient method of Korean particles education to prevent misuse in Korean particles of learners and make good material for the meaningful learner centered education for Korean particles.

1950년대부터 우리의 일부 자전과 교과서가 일본자전의 부수명칭을 모방하기 시작하였다. 그 대표적인 것이 부수위치표시어와 일본자생속칭이다. 일본의 부수위치표시어는 "偏, 旁, 冠(頭), 脚(畓), 構, 垂, 繞"인데 이를 우리 교과서에서는 "변, 방, 머리, 몸, 받침, 안, 발(아래), 밑, 제부수(한부분), 가운데, 엄, 에운담, 사이, 삐친머리, 지게다리, 양쪽 변이 합쳐서 부수를 이루는 것, 밑이트임, 옆이 트임"등으로 분류 표기하고 있다. 뿐만 아니라 旁, 몸, 받침, 발, 밑, 엄 등의 놓이는 위치나 모양에 대한 정의 역시 통일적이지 못하다. 속칭의 형태와 갈래를 분류해보면, (1)부수자의 형, (2)부수자의 음, (3)부수자의 의, (4)부수자의 위치, (5)대표적인 參構字, (6)부수자의 필획에 의해서 속칭이 생산되었다. 현재의 중고등학교 학생들에게 할당된 수업시수나 문화적인 정서를 고려할 때 부수(部件)에 대한 俗稱보다는 正稱(본의 본음)으로 가르쳐야 더욱 학습효과를 높일 수 있다. 예컨대 彳을 중인변과 자촉거릴척 어느 것으로 가르쳐야 彳을 따른 한자를 효과적으로 가르칠 수 있는지 자명한 일이다.

The course is composed of the teacher, the student and the teaching materials. But the function of supplementary readers as teaching materials for German literature has been not widely discussed and approved in Korea. In the first part of my paper 1 wiU describe existing supplementary readers which are almost the annotated readers. In the second part 1 will explain to three aspects for the production of the supplementary readers in the foreign language class. 1) The aspect of literature: it is important for the students to do experience the literary forms which are various and original. 2) The aspect of language: words and sentence structures must be neither excessively easy nor excessively difficult. 3) The aspect of reading process: the understanding process of literary texts should be more effectively used. The present paper attempts to convey the aesthetic and pedagogical values of supplementary readers in the foreign language class.

The purpose of this study is to suggest material and method of instruction of the aleatory music at school. In order to apply the aleatory music to school, it is needed to transfer the concept of art philosophy to teenager that the sound and tone, nothing else, should be the basis of the music and it should be handled apart from the traditional concept of music. The main portion of this study is divided into three steps based on the theory of praxialism in Music Education. 1. The first step is concerned with sensitizing today's adolescents to different sound of music, traditional and contemporary (Guidance of appreciation). 2. The second step is to introduce students to literature by John Cage to help their comprehension and appreciation of Aleatory Music(Guidance of literature). 3. The third step deals with methods of instruction to enable students to analyze music(Music of Chages)and to enhance their performance in group. (Guidance of structural analysis and musical note) With the reference of the music score of sound, rhythm, dynamic, duration and tempo, this study introduces how to create the music as a sound through music activities in procedures of performing and improvising without mensural notation. The expected results is the improvement in musical creativity and in the ability to express onself in music. The creative music education make teenager improve their esthesia through the group performance and improvisation. These are most important activities in developing Musicianship. Needless to say, we need to have more concern on the contemporary music how to teach it with which method and material in school.
