글로벌 사회로 발전함에 따라 외국어를 능숙하게 말하고 싶어하는 사람들이 많아지고 있다. 능숙하게 말하기 위해서는 말하는 훈련을 충분히 가져야 하는데 이때 대화 상대방을 필요로 한다. 최근에는 음성 인식 정보 기술의 발달로 인하여 대화 상대방의 인간이 없어도 외국어 말하기 훈련을 수행하는 시스템 개발이 가능할 것으로 기대되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 외국어 말하기 훈련 교육을 위한 테스트베드 시스템을 개발하고 초등학교 수업에 적용하였다. 초등학생에게 영어 대화 상황을 제시하고 말하기 훈련을 실시하도록 하였다. 그 후, 시스템에 대한 만족도와 지속적인 활용 가능성을 조사하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 시스템을 이용하면 외국어 말하기 학습 훈련에 도움이 된다는 점을 확인하였다.

This study examined the characteristics of the relationship of home environment variables and children's intellectual ability. Two studies were conducted: Study I examined the predictability of home environment variables for children's intellectual ability by children's age and the correlations between environment variables and children's intellectual ability. Study II investigated causal relationships among the variables which are supposed to affect children's intellectual ability. The subjects of this study were 240 children at age four, six and eight attending nursery schools, kindergartens and elementary schools and their mothers. Instruments included the Inventory of Home Stimulation (HOME), inventory of sociodemographic variables, and the K-Binet scale. The results obtained from this study were as follows: 1) Home environment variables had a significant positive correlation (.36 ~ .78) with children's intellectual ability. 2) The home environmental variables that significantly predicted children's intellectual ability differed according to children's age. That is, play materials, breadth of experience, and quality of language environment were predictive of children's intellectual ability at age four, while parent's education, developmental stimulation, and play materials were predictive at age six. Economic status of the home, need gratification, avoidance of restriction, and emotional climate were predictive at age eight. 3) The causal model of home environment affecting children's intellectual ability was formulated by exogenous variables (parent education and economic status of the home) and by endogenous variables (direct stimulation, indirect stimulation and the emotional climate of the home). 4) The results of the analysis of the causal model showed that the kind of variables that affected children's intellectual ability directly differed according to children's age. That is, direct stimulation and parent's education affected children's intellectual ability directly at age four and six, while the economic status of the home and indirect stimulation affected intellectual ability directly at age eight. The amount of variance that explained children's intellectual ability increased with increase in children's age.

This study attempts to apply process drama in teaching Korean speaking. For that goal, the first part of the study introduces the main features of process drama exploring the possible use of teaching Korean speaking, and the second part presents a concrete example of developing a unit of the Sejong intermediate Korean conversation coursebook which was designed using a process drama method. Process drama is a process-oriented drama activity which progresses only with the teacher and students' spontaneous participation. With its unique meaning-oriented interaction paradigm, it has been suggested as an effective way of teaching and learning a foreign language. Since it emphasizes students' spontaneity, cooperation, and authentic communication, it commonly provides plenty of opportunities for students to interact in a meaningful context. Despite its effectiveness in teaching speaking, it has rarely been used in KFL contexts. Considering the limited opportunities to practice speaking in KFL classrooms, using a communication-rich activity such as process drama would be an optimal solution. This study, therefore, examines possible application of process drama in teaching Korean speaking, and introduces sample speaking materials designed for KFL intermediate learners.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of associative drawing task in a Korean bilingual aphasic. The subject is a 41-year old male and lived and was educated in the United States for over 25 years(from the age of 14 through 39). His former occupation was a psychiatrist. He has had a massive lesion in the occipital lobe. This study focused on improving his spontaneous language performances by associative drawing task. The associative drawing task along with spontaneous speech is to help the subject's cognition. The ten target words in this treatment were familiar words and could be drawn easily. The results were that the associative drawing task was effective on improving the patient's drawing ability-writing ability in English only-and naming performance both in English and Korean. However, the patient's writing ability in Korean did not show any improvement.

본 연구는 해외어학연수의 외국어 정확성 향상에 대한 효과를 조명하기 위해 한 학기 동안 해외대학에서 어학연수를 받은 27명의 한국 대학생들이 한 학기의 시간차를 두고 작성한 두 영작문 간의 차이와 오류들을 조사하고, 그러한 차이가 통계적으로 유의미한지를 검정하여 외국어 정확도 면에서의 변화를 분석하였다. 어학연수 이후에 영작문의 길이와 문장의 길이가 증가하였으나 전체 문장수는 감소하였다. 학생들은 더 많은 수의 단어를 더 복잡한 구조의 문장에서 사용하여 오류의 수도 증가하였다. 이를 볼 때, 어학연수 이후 학생들의 문장 생성능력이 향상되고 복잡한 형태의 문장들을 쓰려고 시도한 것을 알 수 있다. 본 연구의 결과는 한 학기 동안 해외어학연수를 받은 이후 대체로 학생들의 문장생성능력은 다소 증진하였지만, 문법적 요소들을 문장 속에서 정확하게 사용하는 문법적 정확성은 크게 향상하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 이는 비록 해외 어학연수가 집중적으로 목표언어만 학습하여 언어입력을 확대할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 목표언어에 자연스럽게 노출될 수 있는 환경적 이점을 제공하긴 하지만, 한 학기라는 기간 안에 문법적으로 정확한 문장을 생성해내는 문법능력을 향상시키는 데는 크게 효과적이지 않았다는 것을 시사한다.

This study focuses on a method for sequential data augmentation in order to alleviate data sparseness problems. Specifically, we present corpus expansion techniques for enhancing the coverage of a language model. Recent recurrent neural network studies show that a seq2seq model can be applied for addressing language generation issues; it has the ability to generate new sentences from given input sentences. We present a method of corpus expansion using a sentence-chain based seq2seq model. For training the seq2seq model, sentence chains are used as triples. The first two sentences in a triple are used for the encoder of the seq2seq model, while the last sentence becomes a target sequence for the decoder. Using only internal resources, evaluation results show an improvement of approximately 7.6% relative perplexity over a baseline language model of Korean text. Additionally, from a comparison with a previous study, the sentence chain approach reduces the size of the training data by 38.4% while generating 1.4-times the number of n-grams with superior performance for English text.

The aim of this study is to understand how English textbooks in Korea reflect English education policies for improving the English language learners' cultural ability. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, the method of analyzing English textbooks was used because English textbooks are an important tool that most specifically reflects the English policy of a country. This study analyzed a total of 15 English textbooks currently used in South Korea. We analyzed nouns/pronouns related to culture presented in the reading section included in each unit, and compared cultural diversity and cultural identity included in English textbooks in Korea. As a result, it was found that South Korea has tried to cultivate Korean learners' cultural competence through English education and introduced their cultural pride to Western culture to realize the goal of strengthening global capabilities.

On the Inherent (non-) Negativity of Negative Sensitive Items. This paper explores the idea that Korean Negative Sensitive Items, which are better viewed as Negative Concord Items (NCIs) (Kim 2001, 2006, Watanabe 2004), should not be construed as inherently negative in spite of the fact that NCIs are able to appear as an elided form without the presence of a negative licenser. Among several diagnostics, which are designed to draw syntactic and semantic distinctions between traditional Negative Polarity Items (NPIs) and NCIs employed in previous studies, the ability of an NCI to appear as a fragment answer raises the question of whether the negativity of NCIs is inherent or not. Contrary to Kim (2001, 2006) and Watanabe (2004), who are in favor of the inherent negativity of NCIs, I claim that non-negative Korean NCIs still need contentful negation to be licensed, and therefore their ability to appear as a fragment answer should be considered as a matter of ellipsis, in support of Giannakidou (2000, 2006). The main argument will be strengthened by the fact that Korean NCIs do not express negative meaning themselves, and that double negation readings are not allowed no matter how many NCIs occur simultaneously.
