This study is purposed to review the pronunciation in learning Korean language, centering around the Chinese-speaking learners of Korean to examine a few related problems and present a way to get out of them. For the review, Korean classes were given to Chinese learners and the matters confirmed were applied to the class case by case to explore a solution based on the results of related existing researches. Most related theories and the results agreed with the result in the practical class except two cases.
The first case was the pronunciation of the affricate /ㅈ/ and /ㅊ/. Existing reviews reported that the matter could be solved naturally by the teacher patient enough to invest a long time into the matter, but the practical class showed some learners from a certain area showed little improvement in pronunciation due to their geographical conditions even if they were all Chinese-speaking learners.
The second case was lenition. It seemed quite difficult for the learners to understand lenition through a simple picture. For beginners’ class, it was proved that steady training of lenition throughout the all classes was the most efficient and much more effective than dealing with that as a partial unit in the process of learning Korean. Especially, lenition was essential for the reading classThis study was aimed to present a practical way helpful for the educational field, not to just mention the educational effect first, by pointing out the concrete problems. It was why the study focused on teaching consonants and vowels, and a practical example sentence for teaching and learning Korean to understand its phonological rules. It is noticed that this paper is the compilation of the notes gathered in Korean classes on the matter of pronunciation and the solution for beginners of Korean. |
