Is "Premodern" in Korean Studies Now Anything Before 1988? New Web-based Language Learning Resources for the Ambitious Student Prof. Ross King, University of British Columbia In this series of sessions, Professor King will showcase the resources he has developed for 'ambitious' students of Korean language and literature working at the upper levels of undergraduate specializations in Korean Studies and/or at the graduate level. Those resources are: Introduction to Hancha: Sinographs and Sino-Korean Vocabulary I & II, Readings in Middle Korean, Materials for teaching hanmun in and through Korean, using Korean texts, Modern Korean Short Fiction. The idea is that students must be not only 'advanced' but 'ambitious' if they wish to study materials printed in Korea before 1988, for the obvious reason that one needs hancha to read newspapers printed before then in South Korea, and this in turn serves as a segue to the problem of teaching resources for premodern materials: Middle Korean and hanmun. Professor King will then return to the conundrum of teaching materials for advanced learners wanting to read modern fiction (including works from the colonial period), which segues to James Scarth Gale's work at the Christian Literature Society and his resistance to the modern Korean literary idiom just being thrashed out then.
