TEACHING YOUTH SLANG FOR INTERNET COMMUNICATION IN KOREAN LANGUAGE CLASSES

Abstract

The article examines slang as a social form of Korean vocabulary. A concise table of popular Korean slang lexical units common among Korean youth has been compiled. It is believed that the use of Internet slang has become an integral part of the Internet communication. A review of theoretical works allows to conclude that the concept of “Internet slang” is distinguished by its versatility and variety, does not have a definite and precise definition, which shows the vagueness of this concept and its large variability. A survey is conducted among the students of the department of Oriental languages of M.K. Ammosov North-Eastern Federal University in order to identify possible problems they face when learning spoken Korean. The results of the research can be used by teachers and students to create conditions for teaching Korean youth slang to students of a language institution, as well as in language schools.
