This study aims to explore teaching methods for Korean vowels and consonants, which are core elements in Korean language education, and to propose instructional strategies for effectively teaching pronunciation to foreign learners.
Korean has a clear phonemic system, and specifically, the harmony of vowels and the articulatory positions of consonants act as major causes of pronunciation errors depending on the learner's native language.[1] This research integrates phonological and pedagogical approaches to propose three teaching principles: visualization of articulators (조음기관의 시각화), step-by-step pronunciation training (단계별 발음 훈련), and the meaning-connection centered learning method (의미 연결 중심 학습법).
