  • This study was inspired by the growing importance of information as a resource for improving the quality of life, the lack of systematic research about the information environment of Koreans in the United States and the lack of understanding of the relationships between individual characteristics and information seeking behavior. During 1990 and 1991, 204 Koreans, 18 years old and more, residing in the City of Los Angeles, were interviewed. Generally the information seeking behavior of Koreans appeared to be similar to that of the socioeconomically advantaged segment of the general public. They are relatively well aware of their information needs. capable of articulating them, and willing to pursue information to meet their needs. Major findings include: (1) the dominance of educational information needs: (2) positive feelings of hope, curiosity. and interest associated with information needs: (3) the tendency to pursue information with the expectation of potential rather than immediate rewards: (4) the expertise of information sources and their ability to provide information directly relevant to a need as criteria for selecting an information source: (5) the generally heavy reliance on informal interpersonal information sources and the high ranking of professionals as the starting point for information seeking and in judgements of usefulness: and (6) the dominant use of Korean ethnic information sources. Statistically significant correlations found at the 0.05 level relate (1) level of education, age, and gender with type of information need, the feelings associated with an information need, motivations to seek information, and the use of information sources, (2) proficiency in English and length of residence in the United States with the extent to which ethnic information sources are used, and (3) pattern of daily use of media with the use of media in seeking information.

  • 연구의 목적은 외국어 읽기의 유창성과 정확성의 언어습득적 의의를 고찰하고, 효율적인 영어 학습 패러다임을 연구하는데 있다. 언어습득 측면에서, 제 2언어학습의 정확성과 유창성사이에서 무엇을 우선 가르치느냐의 문제는 중요한 이슈가 되어왔다. 제 1언어와 제 2언어의 교실상황에서, 많은 언어연구가들의 관심 때문에, 유창성은 중요한 요소로 대두되고 있다. 정확성과 유창성은 둘 다 중요하지만, 외국어의 경우, 유창성 중심의 학습에서 정확성 중심의 학습으로 점진적인 학습 패러다임의 전환이 있어야 한다. 이런 관점에서, 본 연구는 외국어의 유창성 개발을 위한 대안으로 자발적다독법을 제시하고 있다. 빠르고 정확한 단어 인지 기술과 읽기 유창성이 없으면, 좋은 읽기 능력을 가질 수 없다. 그러므로 유창성 개발을 위한 방법들이 개발되어야 하며, 이것에 대한 해법으로, 자발적다독법이 외국어 교육상황에서 읽기유창성을 위한 효과적인 연구방법론임을 입증하고 있다.
