The study investigated the effects of raters’ experience onthe validity and reliability for foreign speakers’ Korean speaking assessment. welve professional Korean and twelve non-professional Korean raters assessedtwenty-seven Korean learners’ oral performance. For the quantitative analysis theFACETS program with multi-facets Rasch model was carried out. The resultsare as follows: (1) professional raters tended to assess strictly rather thannon-professional raters, (2) the strict assessment was

이 연구는 다문화가정 초등학교 1, 2학년생의 쓰기 능력 검사 결과 분석을 바탕으로 다문화가정 학생에 대한 보정 교육의 방향 및 후속 연구를 위한 제언을 목적으로 한다. 본 진단 도구는 학년별로 구성되어 있으며 학년마다 평가 범주가 각기 다르다. 그리고 어휘나 텍스트 내용에서 다문화가정 학생들에게 문화적 제약으로 작용할 것으로 간주되는 요소들을 문항에 포함시켰다. 또한 도구의 활용이 용이하도록 교사나 학생에게 익숙한 형식을 사용하였다. 검사 결과를 분석한 결과, 문화적 배경에 따른 유의미한 차이는 2학년 쓰기에서 나타났다. 지역(도시/읍면)에 따른 학년/영역별 평균 점수는 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났으며, 어머니의 한국어 능력에 따라서는 1, 2학년에서 모두 어머니의 한국어 능력이 높을수록 학생의 평균도 높게 나타나 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 있었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 문항들을 분석하여 맞춤법 지도, 정교한 어휘 능력 신장 및 어휘 확장 훈련, 글쓰기 지도 등

The study investigated what variables affected more on Korean raters’ production and fluency judgement to the Korean speakings of the advanced foreign learners. Nine professional Korean raters assessed sixty Korean learners’ oral performance. The results are as follows: (1) fluency judgement for the Korean speaking follows the cross-linguistic trends, (2) the principal variables in judging L2 fluency include speech rate, F0 range, and pause frequency, (3) mean length of runs (number of syllables

This study investigates the effect of language immersion in an English-speaking environment on the production of suprasegmental features (fundamental frequency (f0) range, speech rate, duration of the final foot, pause duration and the F0 difference between two phrases) in English sentences. It was hypothesized that a Korean group who had been immersed in the English language as children would have suprasegmental features bearing a greater resemblance to that of native English speakers than a no

Testing English pronunciation in the classroom causes some problems for English educators because of its subjectivity in evaluation. This paper is trying to suggest a supplementary but objective way to evaluate prosody part in English pronunciation test by use of a machine-based automatic method. This suggestion is based on the results of the experiments which clearly show that the prosody parameters such as pitch range, speech rate, and pause duration cues by Korean English learners are realize

본 연구에서는 언어 및 언어교육 전공 대학생들이 인공지능과 인공지능 교육에 대해 어떻게 생각하는지, 인공지능 리터러시를 어느 정도 갖추었는지, 그리고 인공지능 관련 교육을 어느 정도 받았고, 교육을 받는데 어떤 사항이 영향을 주는지 알아보았다. 연구를 위해 설문지를 작성하였고 언어 및 언어교육 전공 대학생 112명을 대상으로 설문조사를 하였으며, 설문 응답자 중 일부를 대상으로 인터뷰를 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 대부분의 응답자가 인공지능과 인공지능 교육에 대해 큰 관심을 보였다. 하지만, 자신의 인공지능 리터러시는 낮은 것으로 평가하였고, 연령별 편차도 유의미하게 나타났다. 또한 인공지능에 대한 큰 관심과 달리 연구 참여자들 중 인공지능 관련 교육을 실제로 받은 비율은 상대적으로 낮았는데, 이런 낮은 결과에 여러 요인이 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 결과를 바탕으로 언어 및 언어교육 전공 대학생들의 인공지능 리터러시 함양을 위해 인공지능 관련 교육을 교양 수

Evaluating Korean English speaking proficiency could be a major problem for Korean English educators mainly due to its subjectivity in assessment. More focus on eligible assessment has also raised a natural concern about valid and/or reliable evaluation on Korean English learners’speaking performance by Korean raters. In this respect, it is meaningful to search for an objective way in evaluating non-native speaking performance by the non-native raters. With this particular aim, this paper is try

This study investigated the effects of English proficiency level of Korean L2 learners on the production of intonational features in L2 English. It was hypothesized that the Korean group who had high proficiency level in the English language would have intonation patterns more similar to those of the native English speakers than a low level group of Korean speakers. Forty-nine subjects in three groups – 21 Korean adults in the high-level group, 19 Korean adults in the low-level group, and 9 nati

Seokhan Kang & Hyunkee Ahn. 2010. 10. 30. The study of the L2 relationship between production and perception. Bilingual Research 44, 1-24. Both English native speakers and Korean English learners took part in the production and perception experiments. In the production test, Korean English learners exhibited smaller difference of F0 and larger duration of pause, compared with native English speakers. On the other hand, in the perception test, Korean English learners marked low percentage of corr

This study investigated the relationship between phonemic awareness ability and performance in English listening comprehension. For the purpose of this research, two tests―a specially designed phonemic awareness test and an English L/C test―were used and a total of 268 high school students (132 males and 136 females) participated in this experiment. The statistical result clearly demonstrated that the ability to identify English phonemes was highly correlated with the English listening ability.

본 연구는 한국어 말하기 평가의 채점 타당도를 확보하기 위해 워크숍 기반의채점자 훈련을 설계 및 실행하고 채점자 훈련에서 나타난 채점 근거의 유형을분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위하여 대규모 학문 목적 한국어 말하기 평가를 위한 워크숍 기반의 채점자 훈련을 설계하였다. 채점자 훈련 과정에서 평가 도구에 명시된 채점 기준을 채점자가 능동적으로 적용할 수 있도록 하였으며수집된 채점자 담화를 통해 채점자들이 점수 결정 과정에서 주목하는 채점의 근거들을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 채점자들이 수험자의 응답에 점수를 부여할 때문항의 내용 및 특성, 평가 준거, 채점 척도를 근거로 삼는다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 채점자들은 채점자 간 협의를 통해 정신적 채점 기준과 응답 표상을수립하여 채점에 참여하고 있었다. 채점자 훈련의 결과로 과제의 특성을 고려한채점 접근의 전략화와 주관적 평가 준거 비중의 객관화, 평가 척도의 조정과 정교화의 효과를 확인할 수 있었다.

This study examined L2 cross-directional development on the production of prosody features such as fundamental frequency range, speech rate, duration in the boundary word, and declination tiltof intonation. L2 learners of native Korean and English speakers with different levels were compared and analyzed. It was expected that L2 learners would have suprasegmental features more similar to native L1 speakers by the effect of longer immersion, while the variationin L2 acquisition could be found by

The Korean Journal of Language, 37-1, 1-23. It has been suggested that the duration of stay in an L2 environment has some influence on the L2 acquisition. This study investigates the effect of Korean duration of stay in an English-speaking environment on their production of focus features such as pitch accent patterns, pitch range, and duration of focused words. It was hypothesized that the Korean speakers who had been immersed in the English-speaking environment for over 3 years at the level of
