INVESTIGATING THE THREE-STEP APPROACH FOR EFFECTIVE KOREAN IDIOM TEACHING

Traditional methods of teaching Korean as a foreign language (KFL) have given less attention to idioms than to grammar and vocabulary. This article proposes a new approach to teaching Korean idioms based on Bernard Seal's three-step approach, adapted for the study of idiomatic expressions. The article analyzes the historical development of methods for teaching words and grammar, discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the PPP (presentation-practice-production) and TTT (task-teach-task) models, and justifies the application of Seal's three-step approach for effective teaching of Korean idioms
