This study investigated the effects of collocation-based vocabulary instruction for the experimental group (G2). It was compared to the traditional wordlist-based vocabulary instruction for the control group (G1). This results reflect the development of low level high school EFL learners' vocabulary learning strategy use and the positive change in the affective domain. In the analysis of the survey responses, G1 and G2 did not differ significantly on the first questionnaire. They did, however, differ significantly on the second questionnaire. G2 used more strategies to discover and to consolidate the meaning of the words by means of combining words. In terms of the affective domain, G2 participated more actively in the learning activities, which had a significant effect on vocabulary growth, memory, self-confidence, motivation, and cooperative learning. This is attributable to the fact that G2 was more inquisitive, interested, challenged, participatory, cooperative, and attentive than G1 in performing the vocabulary task activities. Moreover, the data collected from the questionnaire showed that G2 performed more interactive and dynamic activities in solving the given tasks.

The purpose of this study is to discover if the use of computer technologies in computer-assisted language learning, in the aspect of vocabulary learning, is both effective and useful. The technique of using multimedia lessons, using the computer, offers a variety of language learning tasks in relation to the four basic language learning skills. Korean students have been accustomed to a cramming style of education, and they utilize rote memorization for learning vocabulary. This study consisted of surveys and experiments, using specific multimedia language learning courseware exercises on three different age groups. The study explores the issues and problems that followed, and how teachers could effectively apply or enhance their vocabulary teaching through computer-assisted multimedia which is suited for a variety of levels versus the classroom off-line vocabulary learning application which is suited to one level.

This study investigates the effects of corpus-based vocabulary tasks on the acquisition of English vocabulary in an attempt to explore the influence of corpus use on EFL pedagogy. For this to be realized, a total of 40 Korean high school students participated in the study over a 4-week period. An experimental group used a set of corpus-based tasks for vocabulary learning, whereas a control group carried out a traditional task (i.e., the L1-L2 translation) for vocabulary learning. To assess learning gains, the students were asked to complete the pre- and post-treatment tests measuring the word form, meaning, and use aspects of target lexical items. Results of the study indicate that in the experimental group the corpus-based vocabulary tasks were beneficial for the learning of word forms and use. In particular, corpus-based benefits were greatest in the low-proficiency EFL learners' collocational aspects of vocabulary use. On the other hand, in the control group, the traditional vocabulary tasks benefited the meaning aspects of target vocabulary items the most. In addition, survey results revealed that most students were positive about the corpus-based learning experience although some expressed reservations about the heavy cognitive load and the time-consuming nature of the analysis of corpus data primarily due to learners' lack of language proficiency.

본 논문은 한국어와 영어 코퍼스 93GB를 활용하여 구축한 대형 사전학습기반 언어모델인 KE-T5를 소개한다. KE-T5는 한국어와 영어 어휘 64,000개를 포함하는 대규모의 언어모델로 다양한 한국어처리와 한국어와 영어를 모두 포함하는 번역 등의 복합언어 태스크에서도 높은 성능을 기대할 수 있다. KE-T5의 활용은 대규모의 언어모델을 기반으로 영어 수준의 복잡한 언어처리 태스크에 대한 연구들을 본격적으로 시작할 수 있는 기반을 마련하였다.

As Internet and mobile technology is developing, the educational environment is changing from the traditional passive way into an active one driven by learners. It is important to construct the proper learner's profile for personalized education where learners are able to study according to their learning levels. The existing studies on ICT-based personalized education have mostly focused on vocabulary and learning contents. In this paper, learning profile is constructed with not only vocabulary but grammar to define a learner's learning status in more detailed way. A proficiency metric is defined which shows how a learner is accustomed to the learning contents. The simulational results present the suggested approach is effective to the evaluation essay data with each learner's proficiency that is determined after pre-learning process. Additionally, the proposed analysis technique enables to provide statistics or graphs of the learner's status and necessary data for the learner's learning contents.

단어 의미 모호성 해소는 동형이의어의 의미를 문맥에 맞게 결정하는 일이다. 최근 연구에서는 희소 데이터 처리를 위해 시소러스를 사용해 의미 어휘를 압축하고 사용하는 방법이 좋은 성능을 보였다[1]. 본 연구에서는 시소러스 없이 군집화 알고리즘으로 의미 어휘를 압축하는 방법의 성능 향상을 위해 두 가지 방법을 제안한다. 첫째, 의미적으로 유사한 의미 어휘 집합인 범주(category) 정보를 군집화를 위한 초기 군집 생성에 사용한다. 둘째, 다양하고 많은 문맥 정보를 학습해 만들어진 품질 좋은 벡터를 군집화에 사용한다. 영어데이터인 SemCor 데이터를 학습하고 Senseval, Semeval 5개 데이터로 평가한 결과, 제안한 방법의 평균 성능이 기존 연구보다 1.5%p 높은 F1 70.6%를 달성했다.

The purpose of this paper is to explore how effectively can learners improve their written skills in English language classrooms with the application of internet tools and software. First, the study compares and analyzes existing research on English writing and describes research background. Second, the study describes how internet tools can be used effectively in the English writing classrooms. For example, learners pick up vocabulary on the internet bulletin board and create sentences using the vocabulary. Third, the study analyzed changes in learners' in-class attitudes towards software and internet tools using comparative measures of performance. Unlike with offline instrumented classes, the in-class application of diverse software and internet tools such as websites and IRC (Internet Relay Chat) had a major impact on the improvement of learners' writing skills.

우리나라에는 영어 학습을 위한 수많은 도구들이 있다. 특히, 최근 스마트폰의 출현으로 영어 학습을 위한 어플리케이션 개발이 활발하다. 그러나 대부분 영어단어를 단순히 암기하는 방법에 관한 것으로 텍스트 분석에 대한 어플리케이션은 부재하다. 본 논문에서는 사용자가 텍스트를 입력하면 단어가 갖고 있는 희소성에 따라 온톨로지 기반으로 분석되어져서 등급을 매기는 어플리케이션 시스템을 제안한다. 결과물은 파일 시스템과 데이터베이스에 저장되어 사용자는 텍스트의 희소성에 따라 선택한 텍스트를 읽음으로서 사용자의 눈높이에 맞게 신속하고 효율적인 어휘획득 능력을 갖게 된다.

본 논문에서는 한국어 방송 뉴스 인식 시스템에 관하여 기술한다. 인식 실험 과정에서는 실제로 방송된 음성을 인식하였으나, 인식을 위한 음향 모델은 본 연구소에서 갭라한 고립단어 인식용 가변 어휘 인식모델을 이용하였다. 가변 어휘 인식기는 방송 음성의 연속 문장을 이용하지 않고, 음향학적으로 고르게 분포된 고립 단어를 이용하여 학습되었다. 본 연구에서는 한국어의 특성상 문장이 영어권과 같이 단어 단위가 아닌 어절로 나누어 지는 점을 고려하여, 다양한 형태의 사전 표제어를 대상으로 실험하였다. 또한 탐색과정의 초기단계에 장거리 언어모델을 사용함으로써 인식 오류를 줄일 수 있었다.
