Abstract
The education on the history of Korean language life this thesis is to cover rejects the conventional education mainly focused on Korean language grammar conveying just knowledge to students. Rather, it is characterized by a search for alternatives to the education on the history of Korean language life which has been disregarded at school. This is an educational approach in which the plan for the current systematic academically-selective grammar is changed and the focus is placed on the context of learners’ real life. Thus, attention is paid to the real language learners use in their life, not to the grammar as a system. This research aims to recognize the education on the history of Korean language life which shows the life of language learners as invaluable in Korean education and establish a theoretical basis on which the education can be implemented. Most of all, the characteristics and objectives of the education need to be clarified. Then a close examination will be made of the preceding studies in the fields of Korean education or Korean language and literature where progress has been made in the study of the education, followed by an effort to classify them and clarify points in the Korean language life perspective. This research is to be conducted through Eongan as it is viewed as a way to show the aspect of specific Korean language life more than any other thing. If the education on the history of Korean language life is sought through Eongan, it will be acquired in cultural, text-centered, and integrated approaches of Korean language life.
