The purpose of this study is to provide various and practical Korean culture education to foreign learners in Korea by developing a Korean culture experience program using cultural resources in Incheon, and to improve the learners' communication skills through this. For this purpose, in Korean cultural education, the need for cultural experience using local cultural education and local cultural resources is identified, cultural experience programs that can be conducted in Incheon area are examined, and learners' needs will be analyzed to provide cultural experience programs for each level.
Looking at the current cultural experiences of Korean language educational institutions, it was difficult to find regionally-based cultural experiences, and they consisted of cultural experiences centered on Seoul or cultural experiences that were not related to the region. However, foreign learners in Korea are given opportunities to communicate with Korean culture and local culture first, focusing on the region where they live. Therefore, in Korean cultural education, it was intended to help understand the region through region-based cultural education and move forward to practical and realistic education through cultural experience using the cultural resources of the region.
To this end, 'family culture' and 'institutional culture', which are difficult to connect with cultural experiences, are excluded when the cultural resources of the Incheon region are mixed according to the content of 'cultural knowledge' in step 4 of the 『International Standard Model of Korean Language』. After selecting and classifying the rest, it was presented after classifying them into a total of seven cultural types: 'everyday life, geography, history, society, science and technology, art, and cultural heritage'. In addition, taking advantage of the uniqueness and universality of culture, the contents of cultural experience were presented by dividing them into 'Universal Cultural Experience Program', which adds cultural elements based on the Incheon region to the universal culture of Korean culture, and 'Special Cultural Experience Program' using resources based on geographical and historical characteristics of the Incheon region.
Thereafter, based on the contents of the cultural experience surveyed above, when a cultural experience program is to be organized so that learners can understand the culture of Korea and the region, survey was conducted on 60 exchange students studying at a university in Incheon. As a result, first, cultural experience programs using local culture were not activated in the current educational institution. Second, learners from various countries think that local culture education is necessary in Korean language education, and it has been confirmed that the method through experience is effective as a method of cultural education. Third, learners who have personally experienced cultural experiences mainly conducted experiences for the purpose of tourism and play that do not require prior learning, so institutions should approach Korean and regional culture from an educational perspective suitable for language and cultural integration education. Fourth, when looking at learners' preferences for each type of cultural experience, it was confirmed that daily life culture, art culture, and geography culture were in the top three. In other words, it seems that there is a need for cultural experiences using cultural resources that reflect the life radius of learners and the unique characteristics of the region. Therefore, based on this, this paper composed the content of regional cultural programs for each level, and concluded by presenting a cultural experience class plan using historical and cultural resources as a specific example.
This study is a cultural education study using the region to contribute to learner-centered language and culture integrated education. In addition, it is meaningful in that a list of cultural experiences was presented by type, centering on the Incheon area, and that basic data for practical cultural experience education in Incheon were presented through a learner survey.
