1) General description
At first, our group chose the two middle school textbook; the textbook from keumsung publisher for the 1st and 2nd grade students. We review all the grammar point and sequences of the textbook and find that there are lots of benefits and weakness in them. Also, there exist many parts which the Korean students have difficulty in learning the most, so we decide to focus on those parts’ features and weakness. They are 1) tense and aspect of the verbs, 2) modal verbs, and 3) relative pronouns. Therefore we deal with the 3parts and the reason why we chose those 3 parts as the most difficult lesson for the Korean students in the rationale and introduce the way they are shown in the textbook with its weakness and recommendation in the main discourse.
2) Rationale
we choose the three topics as the most difficult part of grammar that the Korean student have trouble in learning based on some theories; 1) tense and aspect, 2) modal verbs, and 3) relative pronouns.
Prator’s(1967) 6 categories of difficulty between the first language and the second language says that there are 6 levels of difficulty by the grammatical or phonological features. The most difficult level to learn is ‘over-differentiation (level4)’ and ‘split (level5)’.
The ‘over-differentiation’ means that a new item entirely, bearing little if any similarity to the native language item, must be learned such as definite/indefinite article, There construction, Relative nouns and aspect of the verb. In addition, split is the most difficult level that one item in the first language becomes two or more in the second language; there are more tense and modal verbs in English than the Korean.
