고전소설 리텔링(Re-telling)을 통한 창의적 사고와 자기표현 글쓰기

초록

General writing courses in university aim at developing critical reading, creative thinking and logical expression skills. However, due to limited time and other constraints, it is difficult to perform 'reading, writing, and discussion' curriculums smoothly in education field. In order to resolve this problem and elicit voluntary participation from students, this study suggests classic novel re-telling.Classic novels are appropriate for re-telling since the stories of the works are familiar to students, but the works themselves are quite unfamiliar and thus have room for reinterpretation. Classic novel re-telling can be performed in a way that conventional themes are overturned, breaking fixed ideas, and the background and illusory elements of unfamiliar time and space are reinterpreted in practical context. This is equivalent to overturning the fixed ideas students acquired from their elementary and middle school courses and reorganizing classic novels from their own perspectives. Through the re-telling stages of 'selecting a text - reading the work - reorganizing - writing', students critically read and interpret classic novels and then apply what they acquired to writing.Self expression writing using diary and letter forms is effective for developing the skills to express one's thought in writing through class novel re-telling in writing education field. Keeping a diary helps students to enhance their understanding of novels by talking with the inner voices of the characters of the novels and to organize and express their thoughts through the circumstances of the characters. Writing letters, which is equivalent to students' throwing out question to the characters, is direct dialogue. As diary and letters are familiar writing forms to students, they can naturally express their thoughts using such forms. In addition, as diary and letters allow students to access the characters of classic novels from their perspective, they can extend the meaning of the texts through dialogue with classic novels and real society.
