A conjunctive ending is always used when one tries to connect more than two events or concepts and use phrases fit for certain contexts, in an accurate style. As conjunctive ending in the Korean language assumes complex and different kinds and meanings and is used as each different usage from its semantic validity and syntactic restriction that sentences or expression phrases have, foreign learners have much difficulty studying this grammatical structure that the Korean language has.
The current textbooks on the Korean language or grammar fail to clarify about characteristics of conjunctive ending and syntactic restriction of it. Thus, teachers feel burdens from publishing auxiliary textbooks and teaching students, with the use of such textbooks, and students feel burdens from understanding and using grammar accurately. In order to reduce burdens from learning and heighten learning effect, it makes sense to arrange pedagogical contents in a repetitive and circulating sequence. Here, it is effective to make repetitive learning preparations on spiral structure-oriented educational methods. Up to now, the research and study on conjunctive ending in the Korean language have steadily being conducted. However, expression phrases in relation to causality or time have very frequently been used and become the main focus of this research and study, while, a few objective postpositional particles have been researched, if any.
In this regard, the purpose of this research thesis is to propose effective and substantial spiral educational methods, under the premise that conjunctive ending in the Korean language, for example, ‘-(으)러’, ‘-(으)려고’, ‘-고자’, ‘-게’, ‘-도록’ meaning some intention or purpose( for the purpose of doing something, for something, to someone and etc) have the same semantic function, so that students can understand the meaning of conjunctive ending in relation to objective phrases and use such grammatical structure, in an accurate way.
To do this, this thesis analyzed textbooks on the Korean language used by the five Korean universities and published by the Korean educational institutions, and studied the order, instruction and contents of conjunctive ending related to objective postpositional particle, and then found out problems surrounding pertained textbooks. Furthermore, this research thesis presented how such textbooks will become improved. Subsequently, this thesis made the comparative analysis of semantic characteristics and syntactic restriction that conjunctive ending in relation to objective postpositional particle has, on the basis of existing research and study on it.
Also, this thesis measured the level of difficulty of this grammatical structure, in consideration of semantic characteristics and syntactic restriction of conjunctive ending in relation to objective postpositional particle, stated above, and studied the availability frequency of conjunctive ending in relation to objective postpositional particle, and then selected as conjunctive ending relation to objective postpositional particle, words such as ‘-(으)러’, ‘-(으)려고’, ‘-게’, ‘-도록’ meaning some intention or purpose( for the purpose of doing something, for something, to someone and etc), on the basis of the study on the frequency of such grammatical structure used in real discourse. After that, this thesis groped the primary, middle and advanced level into each two stage and classified it into total six stages, and arranged ‘connection end of word in relation to objective postpositional particle’, as ‘-(으)러’, ‘-(으)려고’, ‘-게’, ‘-도록’ meaning some intention or purpose (for the purpose of doing something, for something, to someone and etc), in order, and placed common usages accompanying with conjunctive ending between each conjunctive ending.
In this respect, this research thesis assumed that it is more effective to categorize conjunctive ending with the same semantic structure and arrange it as spiral structure and then provide spiral curriculum according to each category. Built on this, this thesis offered the substantial spiral educational methods on ‘-(으)러’, ‘-(으)려고’, ‘-게’, ‘-도록’ meaning some intention or purpose (for the purpose of doing something, for something, to someone and etc) and constituted teaching models, conducting the learners of each two stage of primary level, one stage and two stage of middle level.
This research thesis put some restriction on the research and study on it. But, it is significant in that this thesis offers substantial educational methods by structuralizing curriculum on conjunctive ending in relation to objective postpositional particle as spiral structure. It is expected that the research and study on conjunctive ending relation to objective postpositional particle’, which has, so far, been hardly conducted, would be conducted in multiple ways, and curriculum on it would become conducted to an effective and substantial extent, in the real educational field.
