신동북아 문화교류 기반으로서의 언어교육: 러시아에서의 한국어 교육을 중심으로

Abstract

This paper examines the historical background and the current situations of teaching Korean in Russia, which has played an important role in spreading Korean culture all over Russia as well as establishing a cultural community in the region of Neo-Northeast Asia, including the Russian Primorskij region. This research traces a series of changes in the situations for teaching Korean as a consequence of various political, military, and cultural issues. This also will provide authentic data on the development of education centers providing Korean in Russia, which have served as a mecca of culture. Korean began to be offered to Soviet-Koreans to keep the Korean tradition and culture for the preservation of their identity. Korean, however, has already become one of the major foreign languages, through which Russians imbibe the Korean culture and make it possible to form a cultural community in the region of Northeast Asia.
