The education of children is one of the most important parts in children's literature. Children's literature, whose implied readers are both children and parents, is a good means to teach how they should behave and interact. Therefore, literary conventions of children's literature tend to be conservative with happy endings or fairy tale elements. Most of the children's literature of the 18th century were read as a conduct book which teaches children good manners and proper behavior, and at the same time served as a guidebook which tells parents how to discipline children. It emphasized the need of discipline to ascertain the hierarchy and order of the family, and cherished the close relationship between parents and children. In the 19th century, the ideal of family becomes more internalized. In the early 20th century, the ideology of family still remained, even though the world wars and economic depressions caused the cracks and collapses of the family. In the later 20th century, the disintegration of the traditional family was accelerated. The ideal of family based on the close relationship between parents and children, has had problems from the start. The attachment and over-closeness became stressful and sometimes could be poisonous. Recent children's literature shows the process of disintegration of the traditional nuclear family, children suffering in the fractured family, children's mental trauma, and nostalgia for the lost family. However, modern children's literature manages to find the lost or ideal surrogate family, and often shows fairy-tale elements such as mystical and heroic child protagonists or helpers who might solve all the difficult problems at once, despite the collapse of the family in reality.

This study proposes using children's literature as a means of teaching and learning English as a foreign language and suggests practical strategies on the basis of transactional theory of reading suggested by Rosenblatt (1994, 1995). This study suggests three novels written for children or young adults: On My Honor (1986) by Marion Dane Bauer, The Giver (1993) by Lois Lowry and Hatchet (1987) by Gary Paulsen. These texts were selected because of their diverse topics, easy and comprehensible language, engaging stories, and authentic and rich expressions, making them effective materials for foreign language learners. This paper is organized as follows: First, it reviews research on teaching literature in English education and response-oriented language teaching to provide theoretical background of literature-based language teaching and learning. Second, it provides the background of the texts selected for the study. Third, it develops diverse, practical strategies for instructors who intend to use children's literature in EFL teaching. We expect to guide EFL instructors in adopting children's literature in their English class by connecting theory and practice and by providing diverse methods and strategies, and sample responses by EFL university students.

Since the introduction of literature in reading and writing during the 1970s, considerable research has attempted to determine whether literature has significantly positive effects upon enhancement of reading proficiency. It is said that literature extends our knowledge of the world. Through books, we can experience other people's thoughts, experiences, and ideas (Frye, 1964). This paper explored the role of children's literature for the teaching of reading through the literature-based instruction. It focused on why and how children's literature serves as an important context for enhancing learner's reading proficiency of English. It also discussed the authentic use of literature-based strategies for practical classroom use, and suggested the future directions for research toward the literature-based instruction in the domain of reading comprehension.

The emphasis in environmental education for children should be on awareness, appreciation, and sensory experiences. By offering children opportunities to experience the elements of nature that surround them, teachers elevate children's comfort level and familiarity with the natural world. But many children have little contact with nature, because of urban living, hurried schedules, TV's attraction, and the low value most schools place on outdoor activities. So, teachers have to expand the real out-of-door experiences into the classroom by sharing and making accessible books focusing on nature and the natural environment. Namely, quality children's literature is an excellent vehicle for extending a particular experience or introducing new ones. Building on outdoor experiences through stories encourages children to explore more deeply what they have observed and experienced-concepts are reinforced, new knowledge gained, vicarious experiences provided. There are three-fold classification of environmentalism, especially environmental ethics, and three-aspects of the history in children's literature. The analytical results of this study are as follow. The environmental ideology in elementary Korean textbooks varies from 'egocentrism-didacticism' to 'ecocentrism-fantasy'. This finding has implication for selecting children's books and teaching environmental contents in elementary school. Therefore teachers and parents need to get ready to receive ecocriticism.

이 연구는 어린이들이 읽는 동화책 속에 반영된 도서관과 사서의 이미지를 포괄적으로 살펴보기 위한 것이다. 이를 위하여 도서관을 배경으로 하는 우리나라 창작동화 14편을 선별하여 자세히 분석하였다. 분석 결과 동화속에 나타난 도서관은 대체로 최근에 새롭게 단장을 하여 어린이들에게 호감을 주는 외형을 가지고 있었다. 도서관의 역할은 독서활동에 편중되어 설정된 것으로 나타났으며 정보활용이나 문화활동 등에 대한 반영은 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 사서는 거의 모두 여성이었으며, 친절하고 적극적인 성향으로 아이들의 독서활동을 위해 노력하지만 교육자적 측면 등의 다양한 직업적 면모를 보여주지는 못하고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 이렇게 동화 속에 반영된 도서관과 사서의 모습은 우리 사회의 현실 속에서 인식되고 이해되는 도서관과 사서의 수준과 한계를 그대로 보여주는 것으로 드러났다.

The main purpose of this study was to examine the effects of drama activities using children's literature on the improvement of young children's creativity. To answer this research question, 2 groups, an experimental group composed of 18 five-year-old children who attend "J public Kindergarten," and a control group composed of 18 five-year-old children who attend "H public Kindergarten," were organized. Both kindergartens were located in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do. The experimental group participated in drama activities twice a week; 16 times for 8 weeks. In this study, the change in children's creativity was measured by conducting a pre-test and a post-test developed by Chun(2000). The results after 8 weeks of experimentation indicate that the drama activities using children's literature had a positive effect on promoting children's creativity. Comparing the scores of the pre-test and the post-test, it was obvious that the experimental group's creativity had been improved. The experimental group's creativity including the sub-elements of the test such as fluency, flexibility, uniqueness, and imagination, was improved more than that of the controlled group.

아동문학은 유아에서 초등학생에 이르는 아이들의 지능 및 정서 발달에 중요한 영향을 끼치는 매체이다. 아동문학에 대한 관심은 국내 그림책들의 해외 아동도서상 수상, 아동도서의 교육적 가치에 대한 조명 등으로 높아져 왔다. 그 관심은 국내 아동도서 시장의 양적 증대를 불러왔으나 반대급부로 다양한 도서 사이에서 양질의 아동도서를 선택하는 것은 어려워졌다. 이러한 환경에서 아동문학상은 수상작에게 권위 있는 선택근거를 제공함으로써 아동도서를 읽고자 하는 사람들에게 쉽게 양질의 도서를 선택할 수 있는 길잡이가 된다. 국민의 정보 접근권을 보장하는 도서관은 이러한 흐름에 발맞추어 수상작에 대한 현황을 확인하고 새로이 장서개발정책에 반영해야 한다. 본 연구는 공공도서관의 아동도서 장서개발 정책에 대한 방향을 제시하고자 서울시내 10개 공공 도서관을 선정하여 아동문학상 수상작 장서의 소장현황, 대출현황, 장서회전율, Bonn의 이용계수, Trueswell의 80/20법칙을 적용하여 양적, 질적으로 분석하였으며 분석 결과를 바탕으로 향후 도서관의 장서개발 정책에 반영해야 할 사안을 제시하였다.

This study examined the effects of a picture book literature education program in order to assess preschool children's recognition of and attitude towards picture books. The subjects were 56 five-year-old children, 30 of whom allocated to the experimental group and 26 to the control group. The literature education program lasted for 14 weeks. The control group children participated on the national early childhood education curriculum. Children were interviewed about their concepts, preferences, and attitudes towards picture books. The results indicated that compared to control group, children who participated in this program developed enhanced and richer concepts of picture books, displayed specific preferences, and put forward clearer reasons for their preference. ANCOVA result showed significant overall differences between the two groups. Children who participated in the ptrgram displayed more voluntary and active reading and applied the contents of the picture books to their real life situations.
