碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 韓國語文學系 === 107 === This thesis intends to explore the reality of Korean cultural education in the Korean Departments of Taiwan. When communication in a foreign language occurs, the understanding of the cultural background of the language can influence the fluency and efficiency of the meaning, reduce misunderstandings, and help communicators relate to the dialogue. Therefore, in foreign language education, learners' understanding of culture is relatively important, and this principle also applies to Korean education. The Korean Departments were established to train talents, familiarizing themselves with Korea. In addition to training learners to speak in Korean, it also emphasizes learners' understanding of Korea. Cultural education is no longer only attached to the language curriculum. The professional Korean culture curriculum also exists separately, providing learners with more subtle and deep cultural knowledge, so that learners can have rich and professional Korean cultural background knowledge, use it to their advantage, and contribute to society as such. However, although cultural education is of certain importance, the research on Korean cultural education in Taiwan is scarce, and studies and investigations of the teaching sites are rare. Through this thesis, the author will conduct an investigation into the teaching site, observe the results obtained through the investigation, and then provide critique, which will further improve the Korean cultural education of the Korean Departments in Taiwan. At the same time, we will explore the current situation of Korean and Korean cultural education in Taiwan, update relevant statistics, and enrich the Korean culture-related research so as to stimulate the vigorous development of related research in this field in the future. The first chapter is the introduction. The author explains the background and purpose of this research in this chapter, highlighting the importance of Korean cultural education and the necessity of this research. Research methods and procedures such as the collection of literature materials, the survey of educational status, the design of questionnaires, the implementation of questionnaires and the analysis of questionnaire results are also detailed in this chapter. In order to understand the overall context of Korean cultural education, the literature is not limited to Korean cultural education in Korea, but includes Korean cultural education in China and Taiwan. Through the evaluation and discussion of Korean cultural education by various scholars, the status of Korean cultural education in the Korean education community is revealed. The second chapter first discusses the definition of culture and the views of famous scholars on culture, and then discusses the opinions of Korean scholars on cultural education. Since Korean cultural education is often carried out along with Korean language education, the history and current situation of Korean language education is also presented here to understand the situation of Taiwanese Korean culture education. Through understanding the actual situation of Korean language education and Korean cultural education, we will have a more comprehensive understanding of the research topic of this paper. The third chapter and the fourth chapter are the core chapters of this thesis. By understanding the learners' views on Korean cultural education and the actual situation that learners face in Korean cultural education, the researcher evaluates the reality of the Korean culture education offered by the Korean Departments in Taiwan. After arranging the results of the questionnaire survey in this chapter, the researcher analyzes the noteworthy phenomena and makes comments in due course. The fifth chapter is the conclusion. In this chapter, the contents mentioned in this article are compiled, and the suggestions and opinions on Korean cultural education in the Korean Departments of Taiwan are again proposed. This thesis not only organizes the information on Korean cultural education in Korea, China, and Taiwan, but also studies and discusses the situation of Taiwanese Korean education and Korean cultural education. At the same time, the presentation of the results of the questionnaire also provides an in-depth understanding of Korean cultural education in the Korean Departments of Taiwan. Suggestions and directions for the improvement of Korean cultural education are also given. Through this research, future learners can obtain a more complete Korean cultural education, and the future Korean cultural education in the Korean Departments of Taiwan can be more mature and stable.
