다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Lexical competence has been regarded basic in language ability, expecially in reading comprehension. This thesis has tried to find the way to the developmental direction in vocabulary education. In doing so, the identity of vocabulary education will be clear in Korean Education. The limitation of the past trend will be summarized by two. First, the variable `the Korean native speakers` is not specialized. The second, the vocabulary education remain at instrumental perspective. in relation to reading comprehension. Out of this critical mind, I suggest that the desirable vocabulary education contain the fundamental knowledges to accomplish the critical reading ability. Throughout the chapter 2,3,4, I propose the presuppositional points to reform vocabulary education. In chapter 2, the two perspective of instrumental and cognitive should be integrated mutually in Korean Vocabulary Education. That is because two viewpoints are the 2nd language learner oriented. In chapter 3, the two direction in Korean Vocabulary Education is specified. I`ve stressed the psychological approach to lexical competence rather than linguistic description to vocabulary. Moreover, the encyclopedic meaning to vocabulary should be given more weight rather than each individual word. In chapter 4, I`ve brought forward that the close correlation between vocabulary and grammar education, regarding the language use of native speakers. In the final chapter 5, the interrelating between critical reading and vocabulary have been discussed raising a question that even a word has various ideologic values.
