Abstract

This study aims to explore the effects of deductive FFI and inductive FFI in L2 learners' grammatical achievement and their reaction to the grammar instruction. 84 students were placed into three groups: 29 given deductive FFI(DG), 28 receiving inductive FFI(IG), and 27 with traditional instruction(CG). All students completed pre/post tests and questionnaires, and took a delayed post test 9 weeks after the treatment. For statistical anlayses of all the quantitative data, a one-way ANOVA, paired samples T-test, and repeated measures ANOVA were performed. The results indicated that both deductive and inductive FFI affected learners' grammatical achievement and their achievement was sustained over time. Deductive FFI was more effective than inductive FFI, whereas the IG students more positively changed their attitudes and perceptions to the grammar instruction. These findings of the study imply that FFI should be valued in an Korean EFL classroom, which would contribute to further longitudinal research for its sustainability.

본 연구의 목적은 연역적 형태 초점 교수법과 귀납적 형태 초점 교수법이 제2 언어학습자의 문법 성취도에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 문법 학습에 대한 반응의 변화를 파악하는 것이다. 연구 참여자들은 84명의 대학생으로 연역적 방법을 적용한 집단 29명, 귀납적 방법의 집단 28명과 전통적 방법의 집단 27명이었다. 이들을 대상으로 사전평가 및 사전설문조사 실시하였고, 수업 처치 후 사후평가와 사후설문조사를 진행하였으며 9주 후에 지연 사후평가를 수행하였다. 모든 양적 자료의 통계 처리를 위해 일원배치 분산분석, 대응표본 T-검정, 반복측정 분산분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 두 가지 형태 초점 교수법은 학습자의 문법 성취도 향상에 영향을 미쳤으며 이들의 장기적 지속 효과도 있었던 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 연역적 방법이 성취도에 더 효과적이었던 반면 문법 학습에 대한 반응에 있어서는 귀납적 방법이 더 긍정적인 변화를 보였다. 본 연구 결과는 형태 초점 교수법이 한국의 EFL 상황에서도 충분히 활용할 가치가 있음을 함의한다. 따라서 형태 초점 교수법의 지속 효과에 대해 더 장기적인 변화과정을 관찰하는 후속 연구가 이루어져야 할 것이다.
