Summary

Chapter 26 aims to rationalize and discuss how a genre-based approach is best applied as a guiding principle for different levels of the Korean language curricula. The chapter showcases the application of the genre-based approach to intermediate level language teaching using a story genre, that is, folktales. After presenting the theoretical basis for the genre-based approach in foreign language education, the chapter highlights the empirically attested benefits of applying this framework. It then discusses issues pertaining to developing such courses – practical issues to consider, activities and tasks to be used in classroom instructions with examples, assessing learning outcomes, and so on. The proposal made in this chapter is an attempt to expand the horizon beyond what most previous research on this topic has achieved and to maximize the benefits of the genre-based curriculum in a lower level course with the popular genre of folktales.
