This study is a follow-up study of Han and Kang (2013) and Kang and Han (2013) which examined cross-generational changes in the Korean vowels /o/ and /u/ using acoustic analyses of the vowel formants of these two vowels, their Euclidean distances and the overlap fraction values generated in SOAM 2D (Wassink, 2006). Their results showed an on-going approximation of /o/ and /u/, more evident in female speakers and non-initial vowels. However, these studies employed non-words in a frame sentence. To see the extent to which these two vowels are merged in real words in spontaneous speech, we conducted an acoustic analysis of the formants of /o/ and /u/ produced by two age groups of female speakers while reading a letter sample. The results demonstrate that 1) the younger speakers employed mostly F2 but not F1 differences in the production of /o/ and /u/; 2) the Euclidean distance of these two vowels was shorter in non-initial than initial position, but there was no difference in Euclidean distance between the two age groups (20's vs. 40-50's); 3) overall, /o/ and /u/ were more overlapped in non-initial than initial position, but in non-initial position, younger speakers showed more congested distribution of the vowels than in older speakers.

The present study was performed to investigate adequate levels of utterances which can give essential as well as useful information about the patients' voice, by examining the degrees of correlation between the levels of utterances (vowels, words, and phrase paragraph reading) and the entire utterance including all of the levels. For this purpose, a total of 10 individual utterance samples (5 vowels, 3 words, 1 phrase, 1 paragraph reading) were collected from each of the 30 subjects with voice disorder patients, and four experienced voice therapists evaluated them using GRBAS. The results showed that four therapists highly agreed upon on 'G' parameter. The coefficient of the correlation between each level of utterance and entire utterance tended to be above 0.70. Judgements of the vowel /$\varepsilon$/ as well as /o/ highly correlated with the judgement of the entire utterance. Regardless of severity, the judgement of the entire utterance highly correlated with the judgements of the vowel /u/ and the paragraph reading. These results suggest that experienced voice therapists can precisely evaluate patients' voice quality with only one sustained vowel in the clinic field, as is done with the entire utterance evaluation.

1999년 10월 강원대학교에서 열렸던 한국지구과학회 추계학술발표회에서 발표되었던 한글 요약문들을 훑어보았다. 요약문에는 외국어표현과 분명치 않은 말들과 너무 긴 문장들이 섞여있다. 외국말 표현은 일본어, 영어, 중국어 표현 방법들과 단어들이다. 지구과학 요약문과 논문을 한글로 잘 쓰는 방안을 제안한다. 그 방안에는 일반교양 과학책을 많이 읽고 한 문장이 20 어절이 넘지 않도록 하며 지도교수나 동료들에게 요약문의 비평을 부탁하고 그들의 비평을 받아들일 열린 마음이 포함된다. 저자들이 이 논문 표 2에 있는 여러 가지 잘못을 범하지 않도록 관심을 가져야 한다.

한국어 띄어쓰기 규칙은 경우에 따라 예외 조항이 있어 띄어 쓰거나 붙여 쓰는 것을 모두 허용하는 경우가 있다. 이러한 이중적 규칙에도 불구하고 같은 문서 내의 같은 어절이나 어구들은 일관성 있게 띄어쓰거나 붙여 쓰는 것이 문서 교정상 올바르다. 본 논문에서는 음절 정보 및 형태소 정보를 이용하여 비일관적으로 쓰인 띄어쓰기를 효과적으로 검사하는 방법을 제안하고 실험하여 평가하였다.

This experimental research shows that, in reading of the English isolated words that are enumerated, the releasing of the word-final stop is employed for signaling enumeration in company with the well-known intonational pattern for it. Furthermore, this study tries to find the conceivable phonetic correlates of the releasing of the stop in word-final position, focusing on the association of the stop releasing/nonreleasing with i) the POA (Place of Articulation) distinction of the word-final stop, ii) the various qualities of the preceding vowel placed before the final stop, and iii) the voice distinction of the stop in the word-final position.

This paper presented a course plan based on the ideas I gained from conducting a lecture on Chinese language for students in the second semester of the Chinese language department at a four-year university. In the paper, we sought to deviate from the traditional grammar-translation teaching style and find ways for students to enjoy learning without difficulty in all areas by using the 'total language approach' such as writing, speaking, listening and reading through reading skills. Therefore, we discussed the educational significance and expression of the 'Chinese Languages' class, and introduced the class stages and methods of progress. In other words, they suggested introduction of text plots, explanation of vocabulary and grammar, presentation of original text, questions about text, arrangement of words, ordering sentences to fit the plot, and understanding the plot while looking at the picture.

Functional MRI technique was used in this study for examining the language switching mechanisms between the first language (L1) and the second language (L2). Language switching mechanism is regarded as a complex task that involves an interaction between L1 and L2. The aim of study is to find out the brain activation patterns during the phonological process of reading real English words and English words written in Korean characters in a bilingual person. Korean-English bilingual subjects were examined while they covertly read four types of words native Korean words, Korean words of a foreign origin, English words written in Korean characters, and English words. The fMRI results reveal that the left hemispheric language-related regions at the brain, such as the left inferior frontal, superior temporal, and parietal cortices, have a greater response to the presentation of English words written in Korean characters than for the other types of words, in addition, a slight difference was observed in the occipital-temporal lobe. These results suggest that a change in the brain circuitry underlying the relational processes of language switching is mainly associated with general executive processing system in the left prefrontal cortex rather than with a similarity-based processing system in the occipital-temporal lobes.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate a group activity, reciprocal peer tutoring (RPT), in order to investigate advantages and challenges of RPT in promoting cooperative and collaborative learning environment for EFL University reading instruction. The participants in this study were 89 students taking an English reading course at a Korean university. RPT is a learning strategy whereby learners help each other and learn by teaching. This program was supported by a Vygotskyan perspective which assumes that learners gain mastery and develop cognitive skills through social interaction with more proficient others and their environment. This study relied particularly on participant perceptions through questionnaire survey and Anonymous Online class Report of the course. This study showed various advantages for tutors such as learning through teaching and becoming more autonomous and responsible for their own learning. Non-threatening and highly motivating learning atmosphere are parts of benefits for tutees. Other advantages for tutees included improved level of academic self-confidence, and motivation. This study also revealed several drawbacks associated with the problem of inaccuracy in students' production and students' demand for more direct teacher role. (182 words).

The aim of this study was to evaluate the readability and suitability of patients' education materials on DM. A total of 34 materials on DM from public health centers, general hospitals, and internet web sites were evaluated for readability by 'graded system of vocabulary', and suitability by 'The Korean version of SAM(Suitability Assessment of Materials)'. On the average, 28.3% of 1st grade reading level words, 27.1% of 5th grade level and over were included in educational materials. For suitability, 6(17.6%) were judged superior, 20(58.8%) adequate, 8(23.6%) inadequate. The reading level of the materials was higher than the recommended reading level(6th grade reading level). For suitability, most of materials were inadequate in some of items such as 'summary or review included', 'context given', 'interaction used'. It is proposed that in the development of patients' educational materials, health literacy of target population should be considered.

본 연구에서는 대학생 독자들이 48개의 평이한 문장을 읽을 때, 전반적인 안구 운동의 특성과 어절/단어 수준에서의 특성을 알아보았다 대학생 독자들은 어절을 대략 225ms 보다가 3.6자 정도 뛰어 다음 어절로 눈을 움직였다. 어절이 짧고 단어가 고빈도일 때는 어절을 건너뛰기도 하고, 앞으로만 읽어가는 것이 아니라 19% 정도 다시 되돌아가서 읽기도 했다. 물론 고정과 도약의 양상은 독자에 따라 개인차가 있었다. 이런 전반적인 양상과 더불어, 어절 수준에서 어절 길이, 단어 빈도 및 착지점 관련 효과를 살펴보았는데, 눈은 대체로 어절의 중앙에 자주 착지했으며, 가장자리에 착지했을 때가 중앙에 착지할 때보다 그 어절을 다시 더 고정했다. 또한 독자들은 단어가 고빈도인 어절을 저빈도인 어절보다 훨씬 빨리 읽었다.
