Abstract

This study explores the effects of different Focus-on-Form Instruction (FFI) on improving learners' grammatical knowledge development and observes how the learners apply the knowledge to their output. A total of 112 college students were placed into three groups: 35 input-enhanced group students, who received visually enhanced input reading materials, 41 output-enhanced group students, performing dictogloss tasks, and 46 control group students given traditional grammar instruction. All the participant students took pre/post grammatical tests and completed pre/post writing tasks, which aimed to look into how the target grammatical structures were used in writing. The research findings indicated that both input-enhanced and output-enhanced FFI were effective on learners' language form learning and made contribution to their writing. Based on the findings, this study suggests that the elaborate design of combination of both FFI can maximize learners' language form learning.

본 연구의 목적은 형태초점교수법이 학습자의 언어형태에 관한 지식 향상에 미치는 영향을 조사하고, 학습자들이 그 형태에 관한 지식을 출력활동인 글쓰기에 어떻게 활용하는지를 살펴보는 것이다. 연구참여자들은 122명의 대학생들로 3개의 집단 즉 입력강화집단 35명, 출력강화집단 41명, 대조집단 46명으로 나누어 평가시험과 글쓰기 과제를 사전 사후로 실시하였다. 연구결과를 살펴보면, 입력강화 형태초점교수법과 출력강화 형태초점교수법 모두 학습자의 언어형태 학습에 영향을 미치는 것으로 드러났고, 학습자들이 이러한 형태초점교수법으로 습득한 지식을 영어글쓰기에 활용하는데 기여한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과에 의거하여, 학습자의 언어형태 학습의 효과를 극대화할 수 있는 방법으로 입력강화와 출력강화기법을 적절하게 결합한 형태초점교수법을 적용할 것을 제안한다.
