As modern society has changed quickly, attentions are at various lives and inside of the individuals. That is, the age of multiculture arrived, and many countries have started to pay attention to the policies related to multicuture and researched about it.
Especially multiculture education starts from the realization of themselves and is the educational curriculum or movement which accepts the fact that the
others, the people with different races, nationalities, or at different socacial level or of different sex or the people having handicaps, all live together harmoniously and the value of their life.
The focus in this thesis is on the literature education. Literature is the window of showing the society, culture and value of those days and at the same time it
makes people reflect on themselves and internalize the value of the world. However, the system of literature education in korea zeros in on getting students to acquire the knowledge of some standard literary works or the books many people have considered to be model. The problem is, through this method of dealing with literary, students can not reflect on the worldview which is changing and thereby can never reconstruct the value of literary meaningfully. Therefore,
multicutural literature education will be able to play the important role to forming the new educational paradigm which reflects ages and reconstruct preexisted knowledge and value. In such flow, many races, nations, or countries are facing with the breakdown of the unit or experiencing the crisis of identities. Therefore, the problems which are brought about because of the others and the position of the others should be taken a look carefully. After discussing how to define and classify immigrant laborer among the others from the aspects of subjects and men, we will research about what kind of educational approach is possible. Such iscussion will be a meaningful research for korea society to move forward to the age of multiculture and in culture educational in korea. Since, among the literary text which deal with the others as important argument, the advent of literary text which focuses on immigrant laborer who are minorities in korea, represents the fact that the others are in the important position. In fact, the novels about immigrant laborers are very meaningful in the literature education field. It is literature which allows deep discussion about arguments.
Literature uses many narrative texts. Therefore, it is possible to judge and evaluate argument in the specific narration. Especially, through literary works which have current meaning have readers face with the current problems and lead a meaningful life. As a result, readers can lead a subjective life in the place of rich argument through literary works. In addition, to the learners who should lead the age of multiculture, communicative skill, sympatic skill and the skill for overcoming the conflicts are required. Such skills can be developed through literature education. Therefore, through multiculture education, the research and education for literary works are needed. However, the researches which deal systematically with the literature value and the meaning of education on the novels in which immigrant laborers come lack.
This makes sense because the topic of immigrant laborers is related to politic, society, economy and culture, so it is not simple to deal with. The focus in this thesis is on the subjective approach to the contradiction of society, the reflection of society, the breakdown of unitary nations, psychological conflicts, and movement toward the multiculture society which are shown in the novels in which immigrant laborers appear. Moreover, through finding out how immigrant laborers
are described as the others and making clear about what a sense of independence, we will check literature insight about the modern life. Lastly, we will groupe the meaning of such life eye affects learners and the appropriate teaching methods. Looking back to the korea society, it rarely expanded the diversities in the cultures, nationalities or races.
In such context, we are trying to research how literary education can be attempted in the meangingful way for multiculture education. The teaching methods based on diversities will provoke the reconsideration of preexisted value system for society and through this, the learners can ask about their various identities inside them. Furthermore, this can be a chance to broden the eye for understanding the others, the changing society, and the world.
