This study sets Watchers, a play in the high school 'literature' textbook and in the middle school 'Korean Language' textbook in the Revised 7th Curriculum, as its research text, and aims to work out a solution to study allegories in the works more effectively through the genre of play.
In the education of play, it is quite likely that they pay such attention only to the characteristics of its genre or of linguistic communication that varying techniques in a play can be neglected. However, a variety of techniques found in plays, especially allegories, are more useful devices to realize the used techniques or expand them into reality than those found in other genres of works. Given Benjamin's and Paul de Man's views that language and literature themselves consist of allegories, allegories this study examines will make a contribution so they can bring various and multi-layered aspects of life to the learners' own life through literature and performances. Besides, studying allegories will enable learners to build strength to discover things hidden, not just things apparently visible, in the situations of reality the learners face every day.
In this sense, this study aims to determine the concepts and characteristics of allegories and seeks for instructional methods for allegory plays based on Lee Kangbaek's history and content research of allegory plays.
It is hoped that the instructional methods can be a help with more effective class in teaching allegories in Korean language education.
