The purpose of this study is to show the benefits of using movies in Korean language teaching. Most Korean language learning textbooks lack authenticity. Consequently students often have difficulties communicating in the real world even though they may have good classroom ability. For this study the language in the Korean movie, The most beautiful week in my life, was surveyed. Many non-standard Korean pronunciations and dialects which students rarely if ever come across in the classroom or find in textbooks are found in this movie. The Korean language has diverse vocative and designative expressions which are dependent on discourse context or a speaker's attitude towards the listener. Movies show these diverse situations in realistic situations so they are suitable material for the learning and teaching of these kinds of expressions. Movies are also useful materials for the teaching of fillers, proverbs and idiomatic expressions because their use in movies reflects their use in real life situations |
