본 연구는 남북한 영어교과서에 나타난 어휘를 비교하여 영어어휘의 양적 질적인 차이를 알아보고 궁극적으로 남북한 통일 영어교과서에 담을 영어어휘 목록을 만드는데 필요한 기초적인 작업을 진행하는데 있다. 이를 위해 2000년대에 출간된 남북한 영어교과서로 코퍼스를 구축하여 어휘목록을 추출하고 이들 남북한 영어교과서 코퍼스를 비교하였다. 어휘목록의 추출은 남한 영어교과서의 경우는 7차교육과정 이후 출간된 교과서에서 추출하고 북한 영어교과서의 경우는 김정일정권시대인 2000년대 이후 영어교과서로 코퍼스를 구축하고 그 코퍼스에서 어휘목록을 만들어서 비교하였다. 이를 위해서 AntConc 3.5.7을 사용하여 어휘목록을 추출하고 콘코던스를 통해서 어휘목록에 나온 어휘의 사용맥락을 살펴보면서 점검하였다. 이를 통해서 남북한 영어 어휘의 양적 질적 비교를 통해서 그 차이점들을 도출하였다. 양적으로 남북한이 영어교과서를 통해서 학습해야 할 어휘는 양적으로 비슷하게 3000 단어 내외였으나 북한 영어교과서의 경우 전문학술 어휘가 좀 더 많이 나타났다. 자본주의 시장경제를 따르는 남한과 사회주의 계획경제를 따르는 북한 영어교과서에는 이와 관련된 어휘의 사용과 의미적 차이가 발견되었다. 아울러, 종교와 문법 용어의 사용에 있어서 차이가 나타났다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of English vocabulary learning strategies such as definition-oriented/contextoriented/situated context-oriented vocabulary learning strategy according to the cognitive styles of learners and interaction effect on the achievement test score between the learners' cognitive style and vocabulary learning strategies. The results show that there is no significant difference in the achievement test scores between field-dependent learner group and field-independent learner group. And there is significant difference in the English vocabulary achievement test scores among three experimental treatment groups, definition-oriented, context-oriented, situated context-oriented vocabulary learning strategy groups. Finally, there is an interaction effect on the achievement test score between the learners' cognitive style and vocabulary learning strategies.

This study investigates the effects of written vocabulary exercises on lexical knowledge. Korean university students learning English as a foreign language were randomly assigned to one of four conditions-Condition 1 (having students match word form with word meaning), Condition 2 (having students fill in the blank provided with a list of words), Condition 3 (having students write sentences with the target words), Condition 4 (having students do three practices with the same vocabulary exercise as the condition 1). Each type of exercises in Condition 1, 2, and 3 was designed to classify a different level of mental processing except Condition 4 with multiple encounters of the target words. Learners' vocabulary knowledge of this study was obtained using a format adopted from the Vocabulary Knowledge Scale (VKS) immediately and two weeks later. The findings indicated that: (1) Condition 4 having students do three matching vocabulary exercises was as effective as the condition 3 (one writing exercise) on the immediate learning of word; (2) although there was no significant difference of the effect of vocabulary exercises between Condition 3 and 4, Condition 4 asking students to do three matching vocabulary exercises was the most effective way of vocabulary retention after two weeks.

The role of social networking mobile applications such as WhatsApp in enhancing second language vocabulary learning among English language learners continues to be a subject of interest for many scholars. The current study aimed at examining medical English vocabulary learning among undergraduate students using WhatsApp compared to learning vocabulary via the Blackboard platform during the Covid-19 pandemic. To this end, 108 medical students (51 males, 57 females) enrolled in a first semester English for a specific English course participated in the study. A quasi-experimental design was adopted for two groups. Fifty-three students participated in the WhatsApp group and 55 students formed the Blackboard group. A pretest-posttest design was employed to collect data. Results of t-test scores did not show a significant difference between the WhatsApp and Blackboard groups on a vocabulary test. Results of a survey that measured students' opinion of the use of WhatsApp as a platform for learning new vocabulary showed positive perceptions since participants thought that WhatsApp enhanced their learning experience.

The present study examined vocabulary usage in elementary English classrooms in Japan using elementary school corpus. The authors used three wordlists to benchmark the lexical items for four classes in the corpus: the CEFR-J, the General Service List (GSL), and Academic Word List (AWL). The percentage of vocabulary usage belonging to the Level A1 in the CEFR-J was below 15% (Class A: 12.1%, Class B: 12.6%, Class C: 8.9%, and Class D: 13.6%) with no statistical difference between levels. The mean ratio of Level A2 vocabulary items was below 10%, and all classes showed less than 1% of vocabulary usage for the Levels B1 and B2. Over 70% of all vocabulary items in the corpus belonged to the most frequent 1,000-word band (level 1) of the GSL, while the next most frequent word band (level 2 of the GSL and AWL) accounted for less than 10%. The results suggest that elementary school English teachers should use more vocabulary items in the CEFR-J Level A1. The findings demonstrate that elementary school teachers are less likely to expose their pupils to grammatically well-structured sentences with an abundance of lexical items since the teachers repeatedly use the same lexemes in each class.

본 연구는 대학 교양영어 교육에서 영어학습 부진아 학생들을 대상으로 목표어의 유창성과 정확성을 모두 얻기 위해서 언어의 형식적인 특성을 체계적으로 지도해야 할 필요성을 느끼고 기능 중심의 교양영어 교육을 하면서 기본적인 언어 요소인 문법과 어휘를 강화시키는 방법인 'focus on form'(FnF)를 투입하여 그 효과성을 알아보고자 하였다. 동질성이 검증된 3개 집단을 선정하여 의미중심의 의사소통 수업의 비교반과 FnF의 입력 강화 과제 방식 수업의 실험 A반, FnF의 출력 강화 수업의 실험 B반으로 구성하여 13주 실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 입력 강화의 실험 A반은 비교반에 비해 문법 습득에 유의한 효과가 있었고, 출력 강화의 실험 B반은 비교반에 비해 어휘 습득에 유의한 효과가 있었다. 그러나 어휘와 문법 습득에서 FnF의 두 방식의 통계적 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 교양영어수업에서 부진아 학생들에게 문법 항목과 관련해서는 인지적 부담이 낮은 입력 강화를 적용한 수업을 하고, 어휘 항목은 출력 강화를 적용한 FnF수업을 섞어서 할 필요가 있다는 것을 본 연구의 결과가 시사한다.

This study's purpose is to examine the effects of mobile apps on learners' vocabulary acquisition and to analyze students' perceptions and opinions about the vocabulary app. To this end, this study set up a control group, which was given explicit instructions in the classroom by the instructor and an experimental group, which used a vocabulary app. The vocabulary acquisition test results suggested that the difference between the the two groups was insignificant. However, user satisfaction with regard to the mobile app was high, and the reasons given were the following: convenience, efficiency of memorizing, having fun while learning, and the app's interface. Based on these results, this study suggests that teachers should use mobile apps much more actively in classroom instruction, and encourge students to let apps play a more active role in their language studies.

This study compared the English and the Korean receptive competency of bilingual children with that of English and Korean monolingual children, respectively. The relation between English and Korean receptive competency of bilingual children was examined by age and gender. Subjects were 27 bilingual, 30 Korean monolingual, 24 English monolingual children. They were administered the revised form of the Peabody Pictures Vocabulary Test in Korean and English versions. Results show that bilingual children's Korean receptive competency is lower than those who spoke only Korean, and bilingual children's English receptive competency was a little lower than those who spoke only English, but the difference narrowerd with age. The relation between Korean and English competency in bilingual children was negative in 4- and 5-year-olds but became positive in 6-year-olds. This study shows that the two points-of-view on bilingual language development should be applied differently depending on children's age.

This study is to suggest systematic and effective reading comprehension techniques or strategies to be used in EFL reading classes. According to the definition of reading and reading process, six essential elements of reading comprehension are categorized: 1) reading speed; 2) skimming and scanning; 3) logical organization; 4) pleasure reading; 5) vocabulary; 6) cultural background and world knowledge. To present a more effective teaching and learning approach to EFL reading comprehension than ever, an experiment was performed. The hypothesis of the experimental study was that there would be a difference in students' reading speed as well as reading comprehension and vocabulary between an experimental group and a control group depending upon the teaching approaches (experimental vs. traditional). The result of the study indicates that the experimental teaching approach which intensifies speed reading and pleasure reading techniques as well as 4 other essential techniques of reading comprehension is more effective than the traditional one in teaching and learning reading comprehension.
