This paper is the author's personal experience and interpretation as a student whilst participating in Professor Kyung-Sook Shin's English Literature graduate course, "Literature and Technology II: Feminisms and Digital Humanities," during the 2019 spring semester at Yonsei University, South Korea. Exploring the intersections of literary feminist theory and digital humanities, this paper examines not only the content, but also the methodology and political effects of collaboratively digitally annotating Elizabeth Barrett Browning's epic novel/poem, Aurora Leigh (1856) through the medium, Google Docs. In particular, this paper observes the students' interaction with the digital tools and literature-related pedagogy in two main parts. First, the democratic political nature of classroom culture when creating a new language/code during annotation. Second, the coexistence of cyberspace and the physical classroom space and its effect on time, specifically in the archival of the past, influencing of the future, and the splitting into the present multiverse. From a student's perspective in digital literary annotation, this paper shows that technology could become a way to decolonize and reprogram education to be more inclusive and collaborative.

Relationships between students' perception of psychological distance with online professors and their academic learning achievement and their intention to continue online learning were examined. The courses selected for this study are two online courses: 1) 'English Grammar' and 2) 'TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication) Preparation' offered by a campus-based, medium-sized university. This study employed a mixed-methods approach by conducting a survey as well as one-on-one interviews with students. Students who feel psychologically distant with the online professors show significantly lower degree of perceived learning achievement, and higher tendency not to take online courses any more. All the three scales measuring the psychological distance -mutual awareness, connectedness, and availability- with professors turned out to be significantly related with students' perceived learning achievement. According to the result of the interview data analysis, the student interviewees unanimously said that the university should limit the number of online courses that students can register in a semester to one or two courses. Most students regard low interactivity of online learning as inevitable phenomenon. There is a statistically significant difference in perceived learning achievement between the online preferred group and the offline preferred group. Also, there is a significant difference in connectedness and availability and no significant difference in the degree of mutual awareness between the online and the offline preferred group.

TIMSS 2003에서는 교육과정과 교수 학습 개선에 도움이 되는 구체적인 정보를 제공하기 위하여 전체 과학 성취점수를 수윌, 우수, 보통, 기초 4개의 수준으로 구분하여 각 성취수준에 해당하는 학생이 무엇을 알고, 무엇을 할 수 있는지를 제시하고 있다. 이 연구에서는 수윌 수준과 우수 수준을 중심으로 우리나라 중학생들의 과학 내용 영역별 성취도 경향 및 문항별 정답률 분포와 특성을 분석하였다. 수월 수준 문항들의 정답률을 내용 영역별로 살펴보면, 우리나라의 평균 정답률은 물리, 지구과학, 생물, 화학, 환경의 순으로 높았다. 반면에 국제 평균 정답률은 지구과학, 화학, 생물, 물리, 환경의 순으로 높았다. 우수 수준에서 우리나라의 경우에는 환경, 물리, 생물, 지구과학, 화학의 순으로 평균 정답률이 높게 나타난 반면에 국제 평균 정답률은 지구과학, 생물, 환경, 물리, 화학의 순으로 높았다. 수윌 수준과 우수 수준에 해당되는 문항들의 정답률을 내용 영역별로 살펴본 결과, 우리나라 학생들은 물리 영역에서 강세를 나타내었고 화학영역은 상대적으로 약세를 나타내었다. 각 수준에 해당하는 문항들 중 정답률이 높거나 낮은 문항들의 특성을 분석한 결과, 수윌 수준에서 우리나라 학생들은 기본적인 과학 탐구에 대한 이해도는 높으나, 과학 지식을 글로 설명하거나 복합적이고 추상적인 과학 개념을 이해하는 것, 그리고 과학 원리를 적용하여 정량적으로 문제를 해결하는 것에서는 취약한 것으로 나타났고, 우수 수준에서는 생태계에 대한 이해 정도가 국제 수준에 비해 상대적으로 취약한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 우리나라 과학과 교육과정 및 교수 학습에 주는 시사점을 도출하였다.

The purpose of this study was to review health and adjustment issues of Korean students in the context of international students' health in the United States. The number of international students studying in the United States has increased. In addition, more and more Koreans come to the United States for education. Korean students formed the fifth largest international group found on American campuses. As more and more international students study on American campuses, their health needs and problems became a concern to health professionals. Most health problems international students experience are stress related and psychosomatic. These students also have difficulties in using health care services. International students face barriers to obtaining health care because of differences in language and differences in cultural beliefs toward health. Korea manifests an eastern culture which is quite different from the western culture, so many Korean students studying in the United States experience difficulties in adjustment and using health care services. The study on the needs of Korean students in the U.S. reviewed in this research was a survey of 105 Korean students at the Pennsylvania State University, 1990. Korean students' health problems included stress, colds, fatigue, and headaches. Homesickness, financial problems, and academic problems were also important problems the Korean students faced. Korean students usually did not participate in any activities with Americans as much as with Koreans. Most Korean students did not participated in any health education workshops held on campus. This may be because the students had not participated previously in health education workshops conducted on campuses in Korea. Korean student's confidence with the English language appeared to be an important variable in using or not using the university health services. University health professionals in the United States need to develop better information system for international students so that they may better use the health services provided on campus. Also, university health professionals working on campuses in Korea need to put more attention on health of college students and provide on-campus health education workshops which meet the student's needs.

본 연구는 호주와 캐나다, 네덜란드 등 우리보다 외국인 유학생 교육에 적극적인 자세로 참여해 온 국가들의 외국인 유학생 교육기관 인증제의 세부 특징들을 고찰하고 이를 상호 비교 분석하여 우리나라의 외국인 유학생 교육 질 보장 체계 확립을 위한 정책적 시사점을 제공하는 것을 목표로 하여 수행되었다. 3개국의 사례 비교 분석 결과, 3개국 모두 규제 중심의 과거 자세에서 벗어나 보다 상업적 관점에서 외국인 학생의 유치와 효과적인 교육을 인증제의 주된 목표로 삼고 있었고, 이같은 목표에 따라 외국인 유학생에 대한 교육기관의 교육 역량 및 서비스 능력 개선이 인증제의 구체적인 내용을 구성하고 있었다. 또한 국제화라는 추세가 전세계적으로 중요한 변화임에는 분명하지만 적어도 인증제에서는 국제화 자체가 질 보장의 목표와 동일시되지 않는다는 점도 확인하였다. 이와 같은 비교 분석 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구는 올해 시행 4년차에 돌입하는 '외국인 유학생 유치·관리 역량 인증제'의 정책 목표를 분명히 하고 교육기관들의 실질적인 교육 역량 강화를 유도할수 있는 정량·정성적 평가기준을 설정할 것을 제안하였다.

This study examines the relationship between second language use outside of class and oral proficiency development. It first identifies out-of-class activities of international graduate students in the U.S. and the average time spent speaking English in those out-of-class activities. Interviews and student self-measurements of time spent speaking English each day were used to investigate the types and quantities of out-of-class activities. In addition, two sets of student oral proficiency test scores were collected. Correlation analysis is used to find out the relationship of the variables between the most salient out-of-class activities and oral proficiency gains. The findings indicate that second language use outside of class is important for international graduate students to improve their oral proficiency. This is especially true with regularized interaction such as talking at work and the average time spent speaking in English a day outside of class. This study suggests that learners of English in an ESL environment should be encouraged to take part in out-of-class activities in addition to English use in the classroom in order for them to improve their oral proficiency.
