The purpose of this study was to compare phonological awareness ability of students with Down Syndrome(DS) and typically developing children(TD). TD and DS were equal the reading abilities(reading recognition). The subject were 10 DS and 10 TD, and were examined by test of phonological awareness. The test of phonological awareness was composed according to phonological units(word, syllable, phoneme) and task types(deletion, discrimination, blending). The results obtained in this study were as follows: The total score of phonological awareness ability of DS were significantly lower than TD. And the score of phonological awareness ability according to phonological units and task types were significantly lower than TD. But both DS and TD performed better on phonological deletion and blending task than discrimination. TD and DS represented different correlation between task types and phonological units. This means that TD performed better on all types of tasks and phonological units than DS.

This study explores the effects of phonological awareness instruction with phonetics on listening comprehension and speaking. For the test of measuring the improvement of listening comprehension, two nationwide listening comprehension tests were used for pre-test and post-test. To find out the improvement of speaking ability, students were required to take the Level-3 NEAT speaking tests. There was a notable correlation between phonological awareness instruction with phonetics and listening ability. Also a significant correlation between phonological awareness instruction with phonetics and speaking ability was found. The group with phonological awareness class with phonetics received higher scores in listening and speaking test than the group without phonological awareness class with phonetics in the post-test. This study implies that phonological awareness class with phonetics is helpful for the improvement of listening and speaking ability. With this research, we can also say that students' communicative competence increased.

The purpose of this study is to examine the phonological awareness ability of preschool children with speech disorders. Subjects were composed of 18 articulatorily-disordered preschool children and 18 phonologically-disordered children of 4-6 years old. Percent of correct consonants and phonological awareness ability were tested. Results showed as follows: First, there was no remarkable difference between the two groups in percent of correct consonants. Second, the average of the total scores of the phonological awareness test showed a remarkable difference between the two groups. The same result was found in the small groups classified by the age. Because there was a remarkable difference in the phonological awareness ability in the test groups, the phonological awareness ability can be employed as an important parameter to distinguish articulatorily-disordered children from phonologically-disordered children.

This study investigated whether there are differences between Korean-English bilingual and Korean monolingual children on phonological awareness skills. Participants were 11 Korean-English bilingual children and 12 Korean monolingual children. The children's ages ranged between 6 and 7 years. The results were as follows. First, the bilingual children significantly outperformed monolingual children on overall phonological awareness tasks. The bilinguals performed significantly higher than monolinguals on all three types of phonological awareness tasks (segmentation, deletion, and blending). Second, there was a significant difference between the groups with respect to phonological units of the tasks. The bilinguals performed significantly better than monolinguals on the phonemic unit tasks, but two groups did not differ significantly on syllabic unit tasks. There was an interaction effect between unit size(syllables and phonemes) and group (bilinguals and monolinguals). Third, there were correlations for both bilingual and monolingual children between overall phonological awareness skills and word recognition skills.

Phonological awareness, or consciousness of speech sounds and operational skill with them, develops in the order word > syllable > phoneme, over the ages of four to seven. Among the various types of phonological awareness tasks, the deletion task has a higher level of difficulty because it requires operation and deletion of sounds within words. This task also has a high correlation with reading proficiency. This study utilized a deletion task with 20 questions to see how operational development depended on age and gender. The deletion task, with 20 questions, was tested on four- to six-year old children developing normally (N = 90). The results showed that phonological awareness performance improved with age. This age effect was not accompanied by a gender effect; age and gender interacted. The study confirmed the development of phonological awareness in four- to six-year-old children who were developing normally. The deletion task can be used to effectively detect the risk of difficulties with phonological awareness in preschoolers with speech, language, and reading problems.

본 연구는 초등학교 5학년 학생들을 대상으로 한국어 음운인식이 영어 음운인식에 기여하는지의 여부와, 한국어와 영어의 음운인식이 한글과 영어 읽기 및 쓰기와 관련이 되는지를 살펴보았다. 그 결과, 어휘력과 연령을 통제한 후에 한국어 음운인식은 영어 음운인식의 변량을 유의하게 설명하였다. 구체적으로 한국어 음절과 음소인식은 영어 음절인식을 예측하였고, 한국어 음소인식은 영어 음소인식을 예측하였다. 연령과 어휘력을 통제한 후에 영어 음소인식은 영어와 한글의 읽기와 받아쓰기의 변량을 유의하게 설명하였다. 또한 한국어 음절인식이 한글읽기를 설명하였으며, 영어 음절인식은 한글 받아쓰기를 설명하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 음운인식은 상위언어적 기술(metalinguistic skill)로 한국어에서 영어로 언어 간 전이되는 것을 시사한다. 또한 음소인식이 영어의 읽기와 쓰기에 중요하지만, 음소와 음절인식이 한글의 읽기와 쓰기에 중요한 것을 시사한다.

This study investigated the development of English phonological awareness in preschool children based on a longitudinal study. It carried out a phonological matching task, mispronunciation task, articulation test, explicit phoneme awareness task, rhyme matching task, and initial-phoneme matching task for three-, four- and five-year-old children. A letter knowledge test was also added to the tests for the 5-year-old children. The results revealed that the development of phonological awareness follows a progression of syllable, then onset and rhyme, then phoneme. It was also revealed that language skills such as vocabulary, detection of mispronunciations, and articulation were partially related to the development of phoneme awareness. Finally, we also found that letter knowledge partially affected the children's development of phonological awareness.

This study investigated the reading ability of Korean second-graders and the relationship between reading and phonological awareness and RAN (Rapid Automatized Naming) ability. A language-based reading assessment battery was used. Children at the end of the Korean second-grade were still at the developmental stage of decoding skill and seemed to be at Chall's stage 1. Findings indicated significant correlations between reading ability and phonological awareness and between reading ability and RAN ability. Therefore, the importance of phonological processing could be extended to syllable-based alphabetic languages.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the literary approach using a game strategy on young children's phonological awareness and writing abilities. The subjects were selected from two classes of 'H' and 'M' Kindergarten in G city. The research tools used were the Phonological Awareness Ability Test, which was corrected by Jo, Kim, and Jeong(2006) and used to measure young children's phonological awareness abilities, and Lindberg(1987)'s Kindergarten Writing Assessment which was adapted and used by Noh(1994) in order to assess writing abilities. The literary approach activity using a game strategy used in this study resulted in an improvement in young children's phonological awareness abilities and writing abilities. These results suggest that these activities are valuable tools and can be applied successfully in the childhood education field as teaching aids.

음운인식은 음운론 영역의 상위언어인식 능력으로, 읽기 및 어휘력 등의 언어능력을 예측하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 음운인식 능력과 기타 음운처리 능력, 그리고 언어능력 간의 관계를 일반아동 집단과 언어발달지연 아동 집단 간 비교를 통해 살펴보고자 하였다. 4~6세의 언어발달지연 아동(n=15)과 일반아동(n=18)을 대상으로 음운인식 능력을 평가하기 위하여 음절수세기, 음절탈락, 음절변별 과제를 실시하였다. 또한 비단어 따라말하기, 숫자 거꾸로 회상하기의 두 가지 음운처리 과제와 수용 및 표현어휘력, 문법성판단 과제와의 상관관계를 분석하고, 언어능력을 예측하는 음운인식 하위과제가 무엇인지 검토하였다. 음운인식 하위과제 중 음절수세기를 제외한 음절탈락, 음절변별 과제 수행력의 집단 간 차이가 유의하였다. 또한 일반아동 집단은 음절탈락과 숫자 거꾸로 회상하기, 음절변별과 수용어휘력 과제 수행력 간 상관관계가 유의하였으며, 언어발달지연 아동 집단은 음절수세기 과제와 숫자 거꾸로 회상하기, 수용어휘력, 표현어휘력, 문법성판단 과제의 수행력 간 상관관계가 유의하였다. 그리고 단계적 중다회귀분석 결과 일반아동 집단은 음절변별 과제가 수용어휘력 및 문법성판단 과제 수행력을 유의하게 예측하는 것으로 나타났으며, 언어발달지연 아동 집단은 음절수세기 과제가 수용어휘력, 표현어휘력, 문법성판단 과제 수행력을 유의하게 예측하는 것으로 나타났다. 언어발달지연 아동 집단은 일반아동 집단에 비해 음절수세기를 제외한 나머지 음절 수준의 음운인식 과제의 수행력이 저조하였으며, 이러한 특징이 상관관계 분석 및 회귀분석 결과에도 반영되었다. 또한 각 집단에서 음운인식 과제 수행력이 언어능력을 유의하게 예측하는 것으로 나타난 결과는 음운론 영역의 상위언어인식 능력의 중요성을 시사한다.
