The purpose of this study is to investigate frequency of content words as well as word level in the writings of woman immigrants in Korea and the textbooks they use to study Korean, to point out problems, and to suggest some improvement methods.
For the purpose, 226 woman immigrants' writings, which 37 woman immigrants of 3 levels had written for 3 months, 2 Korean textbooks for woman immigrants and 2 University published textbooks were analyzed to measure frequency of token(total number of words) and type(number of different words) of words found in the 23texts and compare word level of type of words. Each woman immigrant had written 5~7 writings. Textbooks were classified into two parts-the main texts and reading texts. In chapter 3, the word level was indicated by comparing type of words found in the 23 texts with Joe, Nam-hoe(2003)'s korean vocabulary levels for learning purpose. The results of this study can be summarized as follows;
First, frequency of new words which that woman immigrants use in their writings tends to decrease as they advance up the levels. In contrast, the degree of repetition of words tends to increase from intermediate to advanced. It means that the vocabulary ability of woman immigrants is decreasing as opposed to their korean ability. On the other hand, in chapter 3, writings of woman immigrants include less 'A' level words of Joe, Nam-hoe(2003)'s korean vocabulary levels than korean textbooks.
Second, the researcher selected 2 korean textbooks for woman immigrants and 2 korean textbooks for general students. Textbooks consist of two parts-the main texts and reading texts. Reading texts show higher frequency of words than main texts. However, word level does not follow this pattern. Especially reading texts of korean textbooks for woman immigrants have more and more difficult words than main text. The balance of words between the two parts of the same book has been lost. It is difficult for woman immigrants to study korean using the same level book.
Third, many new words of daily life are missed in Joe, Nam-hoe(2003)'s korean vocabulary levels. Grammar is kept the same but vocabulary is changing as time goes on. Therefore, the common korean vocabulary levels are modified and complemented gradually.
The following suggestion on this study, woman immigrants' textbooks do not help them enrich their vocabulary. In fact, their writings are more complicated in terms of word level than the textbook they use in class, hence we need to upgrade current textbooks according to the demands of the learners, the woman immigrants. To serve this purpose, many corpus of woman immigrants have been collected and analyzed to know woman immigrants' linguistic ability. It is also necessary to collect many corpus of korea house wives who live in same environment like woman immigrants. In addition, when Korean teachers publish korean textbooks they should consider how to maintain the balance between the two parts of the same book. Finally the reasonable and objective standard is required to connect total number of words and number of different words with words level.
