대학 교양교육에 수어 교육의 필요성에 대한 일고(一考) = A Thought on the Necessity of Sign Language Education in the Liberal Arts Education

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study is an understanding of sign language in Deaf culture, one of the various cultures that coexist in modern society, and the necessity of sign language education in university liberal arts education.
With the enactment of the “Korean Sign Language Act” in February 2016, sign language was recognized as the first language used by farmers as a language equivalent to Korean, but it did not play a significant role or effect in its effectiveness, and expanded to allow the Deaf to receive related information quickly and accurately. In addition, it can be seen that the social position of the Deaf are moving from the periphery to the center through the change in the position of sign language interpreters during the real-time TV government briefing. In addition, the demand for sign language interpretation services is growing due to the participation of the Deaf in society, the expansion of integrated education and higher education opportunities, and the interest and importance of sign language interpreters are increasing. However, despite this interest, understanding of sign language education remains on a very personal level, and sign language education in universities is still dismissed as a form of personal hobby and is rarely given to all students.
In this situation, it is a big problem that there is no awareness of sign language education in Daegu Catholic University, which strives to spread Catholic ideology.
Therefore, why sign language education is necessary at Daegu Catholic University, and I would like to examine the method of sign language education through the case of nearby Daegu University.
