초등학교 국어 교과서에서의 편지 텍스트 활용 양상 = The Use of Letter Texts in Elementary School Korean Language Textbooks

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study examines the frequent use of letter texts in elementary Korean language textbooks and their educational significance. An analysis of textbooks developed under the 2007, 2009, and 2015 revised curricula revealed that letter texts are employed either as direct representations of achievement standards or as indirect ones. Direct cases appeared in units where letter writing itself was taught as a core activity, while indirect cases functioned across various subdomains. However, the findings indicate limitations, such as insufficient adjustment to developmental levels and an overemphasis on formalistic approaches. Accordingly, this study suggests a gradual expansion from private to public contexts, stronger links between grammatical elements and letter genres, and the use of literary works to provide authentic contexts for effective learning.
