무제한 정보추출은 주로 영어를 대상으로 연구가 진행 되었지만, 최근에는 영어가 아닌 다른 언어에 대한 적용이 시도되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 관계 어휘의 유형을 동사형과 명사형 2가지로 정의하고, 각 유형별로 구문 분석 결과 기반의 서로 다른 방법론을 적용하는 한국어 대상 무제한 정보추출 시스템을 소개한다. 동사형 관계 어휘에 대해서는 의존 관계 기반의 추출 규칙을 적용하고, 명사형 관계 어휘에 대해서는 대량의 말뭉치로부터 자동으로 학습한 의존 관계 구조 기반의 추출 패턴을 적용한다. 임의의 100개 문장에 대해서 수행한 결과는 산출된 전체 트리플에 대해 0.8이상의 정밀도를 보임으로써 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법의 효용성을 증명하였다.

Recently, the number of Koreans who use smartphones has increased drastically; many use smartphones to learn English. In this study, one hundred Korean adult ELT (English language teaching) learners were surveyed to investigate their use of smartphones and factors influencing such use. For comparison, sixty-two students of a Korean cyber university were surveyed; these students were able to study using their smartphones in a smart campus environment. The research results showed that both groups positively used smartphones frequently, and that many intended to continue using them. With regard to ELT, both groups intended to learn English using their smartphones. Furthermore, they preferred certain types of ELT content: thirty-minute or less learning sessions, receptive English skills that focused on listening and reading, and short units of framed language items such as pronunciation and vocabulary. However, few of the respondents in both groups installed ELT apps on their smartphones, and few of the ELT apps satisfied them. The cyber university students responded similarly about smartphone use, although their responses regarding smartphone use for ELT purposes were less positive. These results indicate that the goal of cyber universities in achieving optimum learning outcomes through smart learning and the smart campus has not yet been realized.

The purpose of this study was to investigate (1) the aspect of the correlation among subcategories in English reading anxiety, (2) the aspect of the cause and effect relation. The reading anxiety was measured by a questionnaire. Then, the results were analyzed by SPSS program. The findings of this study were as follows: First, most of the sub-elements in reading anxiety in both groups correlate with one another even though the overall coefficient of correlation in high achievement group is rather higher. Second, it is also found that the lack of confidence for reading has negative influence on entire reading anxiety in both groups, which is followed by lengthy reading, evaluation and general anxieties in consecutive order. The implication of this study is that the teachers and students should be aware that the constituents of reading anxiety not only correlate with one another, but have great deal of relative influence on reading process. Therefore, teachers should organize a learning environment where learners can minimize the feeling of anxiety.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of multimedia-assisted language learning on vocabulary learning and attention for elementary school students who are ADHD-prone. Among thirty-three students attending a private English academy in Daegu, four students who were prone to develop ADHD were chosen for this study. They were observed in a multimedia-assisted language learning class for four months and they were given a series of tests designed to measure their attention period and vocabulary ability. The results of the study are as follows. First, studying English by using multimedia was effective in improving the attention of those children prone to develop ADHD. Second, studying English through multimedia was effective in improving their vocabulary ability. Based on the findings, some pedagogical suggestions have been made for further study.

This study aimed at investigating the effects of grouping participants in pairs according to their relative vocabulary proficiency on the incidental improvement of vocabulary knowledge. Forty six university students were divided into three groups (high-high(n=14), high-low(n=18), or low-low(n=14)) and took part in the study. They performed three vocabulary activities in pairs as extra-class works. Data were collected from one receptive vocabulary knowledge test scores before treatment and two posttest scores after treatment. The results showed that, unlike former study results, HL dyads acquired more vocabulary receptively and productively than HH or LL dyads did, which demonstrated that collaborative pair activity was conducive to the growth of vocabulary knowledge. Furthermore, not only higher proficiency participants in HL pairs made greater vocabulary gains than participants in HH pairs did but also lower proficiency participants gained more vocabulary than participants in LL pairs did. Based on these results, we discussed pedagogical implications.

Foreign language learners want to remember newly learned vocabularies for as long as possible. As demand for learning English as a second language grows, effective ways of memorizing English vocabularies also attract much interest so that various methods and apparatus are developed in order to support effective memorization. In this research, we introduce a new way of memorizing English vocabularies and evaluate the performance compared to an existing qualified method. Our study result shows that learners who memorize English words using our suggested method maintained a higher retention rate than those who studied using the existing method. From this research, we expect to gain new insights of effective way in learning English vocabularies.

본 연구는 특수목적영어분인 해사영어코퍼스의 구축을 목적으로 한다. 구축과정에서 코퍼스 구축에 필요한 대표성과 균형성을 고려하여 네 가지 장르인 학술, 뉴스, 법, 책으로 나누고 각 하위코퍼스를 백만 단어씩 구축하였다. 코퍼스 구축과정에서 웹사이트와 PDF형태의 자료에서 텍스트만을 수집하고 정제하기 위하여 파이썬(Python) 프로그래밍 코딩을 하였고 무료 공개 프로그램도 병행하였다. 앞으로 해사영어코퍼스는 해사영어어휘교육에 필요한 단어목록제공이나 예문 검색 등을 통한 자료중심학습법에 활용될 수 있을 것이다. 또한 본 연구의 코퍼스구축 과정은 다른 분야의 ESP코퍼스 구축에도 응용 될 수 있을 것이다.

One of the issues with the textbooks pertinent to the current study is whether or not the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) factors have been dealt to satisfy students with different aptitudes in learning the core objectives of the lessons. This study develops a modified version of the UDL analysis criteria from the cross curricular criteria to language teaching and learning and uses it to analyze the sequence of digital English textbooks to investigate the descriptive statistics of the UDL factors in the new textbooks. The result shows that the textbook is designed most favorably to the students with the talent of linguistic aptitude and less favorably to the students with other types of aptitudes. The sequence analysis shows that sentence/word length and appearance of new words are incrementally sequenced as students advance upper grades. However, the syntactic complexity of middle school curves up steeply which is different from the elementary school textbooks. The UDL analysis will provide learning factors to consider when designing digital English textbooks to cover different aptitudinal groups.

For its maximum impact on the scene of school as the educational equipment, it is necessary to understand equipmental characteristics of PDA and study the basis for utilizing it educationally. In this point of view, to inquire how PDA is helpful for education more than PC, the typical educational equipment in the past, PDA-based English vocabulary learning game is developed in this study, and after that it is applied on the scene of education. The result of study showed PDA can access the content more easily than PC, and learners expressed more curiosity and expectation of PDA than PC in a recent poll. In addition, under the condition of learner's voluntary use, the present study has found that learning with PDA is helpful to enhance the academic achievement more than one with PC.

본 논문에서는 한국어 트리플 생성 시스템의 정확도를 향상시키기 위한 distant supervision 기반의 신뢰도 측정 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 많은 패턴 기반의 트리플 생성 시스템에는 distant supervision의 기본 가정으로 인해 다수의 오류 패턴이 발생할 여지가 크다. 기존의 연구에서는 오류 패턴을 제거하기 위하여 발생 빈도, 공기 횟수 등의 통계에 기반하여 간접적으로 신뢰도를 측정하였다. 본 논문에서는 한국어 패턴과 영어 프로퍼티 사이의 의미 유사도를 측정함으로써 통계에 기반한 방법보다 더 정확한 신뢰도 측정 방법을 제안한다. 비지도 학습 방법인 워드임베딩을 활용하여 어휘의 의미를 학습하고, 이들 사이의 유사도를 측정한다. 한국어 패턴과 영어 프로퍼티의 어휘 불일치 문제를 해결하기 위하여 정준상관분석을 활용하였다. 실험 결과에 따르면 본 논문에서 제안한 패턴 신뢰도 측정 방법은 통계 기반의 방법에 비해 정확률이 9%나 더 높은 트리플 집합을 생성함을 보여주어, 의미 유사도를 반영한 신뢰도 측정이 기존의 통계 기반 신뢰도 측정보다 고품질 트리플 생성에 더 적합함을 확인하였다.
