Education methods conducted in the field of Korean language education are being tried in various ways and in accordance with the changing educational field and social atmosphere. New attempts are being presented away from grammar-oriented Korean language education, which can be seen as an effort to develop by presenting the direction of Korean language education. Among them, this thesis proposes an educational plan using modern poetry to improve communication skills. Literary works such as poems and novels are recognized for their literary, linguistic, and cultural factors, but they are not used in various ways for practical reasons such as time constraints and quantity problems. Therefore, if studies that suggest various application methods continue steadily, a teaching plan for poetry use in Korean language education can be established.
First of all, the poetry to be used in this thesis can clearly examine its educational value through various studies. It provides an opportunity to experience literary works as a refined and valuable language, and through this, it is possible to acquire rich language naturally. In addition, it can minimize the burden on learners with a short amount, and can serve as a bridge that can move toward education that encompasses not only language but also all areas of culture and emotion. Based on the necessity of this poetry education, first of all, communication ability is defined as mutual communication that includes various vocabulary, expressions, and other social and cultural abilities, not only linguistic skills, especially grammatical elements. In addition, the significance of modern poetry to improve communication skills is that it is possible to learn Korean in depth and wide, and to convey the values, emotions, and meanings of the Korean social discourse community to learners without rejection. It is also meaningful that it is highly utilized as a textbook or learning material because there is no quantitative burden regardless of likes or dislikes for literary works.
Based on this research background, as a result of analyzing the current use of Korean textbooks used in Korean language schools in four Korean universities, it was confirmed that literary works are used as auxiliary materials for textbooks according to the learner's level, and there are not many poems. This has a limitation in that there is no significant difference from the existing reading class because it does not fully utilize the rich advantages of poetry and remains fragmented.
Therefore, in order to select the time for Korean language education, this thesis will first limit it to modern poetry, which consists of vocabulary currently used as a scope of poetry and can still occur or sufficiently occur. In addition, I would like to present a total of four criteria for selecting modern poetry: universality that anyone can sympathize with, specificity that can be compared and contrasted, suitability according to learner's learning difficulty, and variables for each learner. In line with these selection criteria, the poetry to be selected and presented in this thesis is Jeong Ho-seung's "For Whales," for the basic course, Ahn Do-hyun's "Ask You" for the intermediate course, and Lee Hyung-ki's "Falling Flower" for the advanced course.
In addition, the contents of modern poetry education to improve communication skills include vocabulary expansion through words, understanding various poetic expressions, and the universality and specificity of Korean value culture, These educational contents will be presented in the teaching and learning model. The modern poetry teaching and learning model combines the response-centered model, one of the traditional Korean language education model, with the ASSURE model in the field of pedagogy. This model sets it to the stage of 'learner analysis - goal preparation - response formation - response clarity - response - evaluation and correction'. By applying selected poems in basic, intermediate, and advanced courses to the model, actual examples are shown through step-by-step activity sheets and utilization in actual classes is presented. This is meaningful in that modern poetry goes beyond reading education aids to open examples and possibilities that can help improve actual language utilization and communication skills.
