‘언어ㆍ텍스트ㆍ매체ㆍ문화’ 범주와 ‘복합 문식성’ 개념을 통한 미디어 교육의 국어교육적 수용에 관한 연구 = Language, Text, Media and Culture : Four Categories for Multiliteracies Euducation

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This article aims to propose a criteria for media education, particularly for the curriculum for Korean language education, based on a critical review of the current discussions. The four sub-categories of the criteria proposed here are Language, Text, Media and Culture. In this criteria, Language is defined as a system of signification beyond the limited notion of verbal language. This article also discusses the theory of multiliteracy and multimodality as core concepts for media education in literacy education in the age of multimedia.
This article also critically examines some of the academic terms used in the field of Korean Language Education. Significantly, the terms, ‘mode’ and ‘media’ are introduced and the meaning of the terms such as ‘multiliteracy’ and ‘multimodality’ are clarified. Reviewing the recent qualitative research on children's multimodal texts, this article emphasizes that children can benefit from producing verbal-visual texts, either informational or aesthetic, in which multimodal and cross-modal meanings are made. It is argued that such production can provide a meaningful experience to reflect the ‘others' voices’ that are brought by children from their popular media experiences.
