이 연구는 통일 문학교육을 실천하기 위한 기초연구로서 대학생들의 북한에 대한 인식과 태도를 확인한 것이다. 이를 위하여 먼저 통일과 북한에 대한 대학생의 인식을 정보와 관심의 영역으로 나누어 살폈다. 충북지역 K대학 재학생 1～4학년 232명을 대상으로 2019년 6월 설문조사를 실시한 결과, 응답자의 16.8%가 통일에 대해 생각해 본 적이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 응답자들은 북한에 대하여 57.8%가 별다른 관심을 보이지 않았다. 통일을 화제에 올리거나 관련 검색을 하지 않았다고 한다. 그리고 연구자의 조사에 따르면 현재 남한 문학 교과서에 소개된 통일 주제의 소설작품은 4편이었다. 이렇게 볼 때, 우선 통일 교육을 위해서는 북한의 상황을 알리고 교류 확대를 도모하는 것이 필요해 보인다. 이를 통해 긍정적인 관심을 높이고 실천의 통로를 넓히는 것이 필요하다고 보여 진다. 이를 위해 통일을 주제로 한 소설을 교과서에 적극적으로 실을 필요가 있다고 본다. 이런 맥락에서 이 글은 ｢쇠찌르레기｣와 ｢림진강｣을 가지고 북한의 속살을 살피고 북한 소설의 양상과 교육적 활용을 고민하였다.

This thesis examines the perception of the plague in the traditional era, the literary response method, the educational meaning of the present day, and the utilizing method of Chinese literature curriculum. Today, while plagues are recognized in terms of overcoming, in the traditional era, plagues are recognized in terms of fear. In the traditional era, plagues were regarded as unclear objects, and literary works were created in a way to cope with plagues. These writings were also created to intimidate and drive out yeoggwi(疫鬼), and were also created to persuade and soothe them away. However, these writings themselves show a high level of literary character. Like today's so-called literary therapy, it goes to the point of healing at the mental and psychological level through the act of literary creation. The literary character of Lee, jeong-gwi(李廷龜)'s funeral oration is a transformation of Han, yu(韓愈)'s Songgungmun(送窮文) and expanding his worries about the country through self-examination. Yu, mong-in(柳夢寅)'s funeral oration describes the tragedy of suffering human beings realistically, is bitter and concrete in criticizing the wrongdoings of yeoggwi(疫鬼). Through such criticism and intimidation, the reversal that was perceived as the object of fear changes into a weak entity, which acts as a mechanism to find and overcome psychological comfort in the pain of reality. The educational meaning and the plan to utilizing Chinese literature curriculum of the two works are as follows. The students can read the wisdom and thoughts of the ancestors who tried to overcome pain through introspection. In addition, students can comprehensively understand byeonmun(騈文), can explain the relationship between Chinese classics and Korean classics. The students can understand the traditional culture's funeral ritual to cope with plagues, and can read the format of the funeral oration, the subject and the content in multiple layers.

This paper intends to suggest some issues in relation to Korean literature education plan for Chinese students. It is very regrettable that Korean literature education has been little educated in the Korean education field for Chinese students. Even though many people think that education of Korean literature in educating Korean is unnecessary or unuseful. The main problem of literature education is the lack of useful textbooks. Therefore development of teaching materials meeting Chinese students' level is essential to improve the level of educating Korean for Chinese students. This paper hopes to contribute professors, teachers educating Korean for Chinese students to develop their teaching skill.
