초록

세계어로서의 영어교육 시대에 영어는 문화간 의사소통에 필요한 공용어가 되었고, 세계의 평화적인 공존과 당면 문제들을 풀어나가는데 필수적인 의사소통 도구가 되었다. 이에 따라 영미문화교육의 목표도 이전의 영어권 문화에 대한 지식습득보다 다양한 문화권 화자들간의 원활한 의사소통을 위한 능력 개발로 그 초점이 전환되고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 기독교대학의 영어교사 양성과정에서 문화간 의사소통능력 함양을 강화하고 실제 대학수업에서 구현할 수 있는 교수방안을 탐색하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 문화간 의사소통능력의 요소와 기독교 문화간 화자의 특성을 포함한 수업활동방법을 고안하고, 이에 대한 예시를 통해 보다 포괄적이고 깊이 있는 문화간 의사소통 교수·학습내용과 방향을 제시하고자 한다.

영어초록

Culture teaching in English education has traditionally involved providing cultural information and knowledge of native English-speaking cultures. As English is now considered by many to be an international language, that is, a medium of international communication among individuals from different countries, the focus of culture teaching is shifting from dealing with target cultural contents to developing intercultural communicative competence(ICC). As Christian English teachers are called to promote peace between people of different cultures and witness the love of Christ through English teaching, the development of intercultural communication skills for effective interaction and cross-cultural understanding needs to be one of the priorities in teacher education program. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to suggest pedagogical activities to develop Christian pre-service English teachers’ICC and to equip them to be Christian intercultural speakers. To do this, the theoretical framework of ICC was introduced and components of Christian intercultural speakers(CIS) were described. Then, this paper presents a model of culture teaching in Christian pre-service English teacher education program along with a detailed description of relevant pedagogical activities. Five activities presented are: culture shock storytelling, observation of L1(mother tongue) culture, analyzing critical incidents, intercultural sensitizer exercise, and English interview with people from other cultures. The activities suggested in this paper would provide valuable resources and practical suggestions for English teacher training both in Christian and non-Christian context. Further research needs to focus on the assessment issues related to ICC and components of CIS as a result of these pedagogical changes.
