The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of strategy training on the improvement of reading proficiency of Korean EFL college students. The training procedure was based on Reciprocal Teaching Method developed by Brown and Palincsar (1984). It involves four concrete activities to teach comprehension-fostering and comprehension-monitoring strategies explicitly. The four activities are summarizing, questioning, clarifying, and predicting. Strategy training was provided to 68 s

The study investigates the relative effects of two types of indirect written corrective feedback (CF) on the acquisition of English articles. Thirty-five high intermediate Korean EFL college students who were enrolled in three composition classes participated in this study. After the instruction on the English article usage, three classes (Class A, Class B, and Class C) received different types of feedback on their blog writings over the course of a semester. Both Class A and Class B received in

Based on Song (2006), this study investigated the relationship between learnability and starting age of English article acquisition. As a preliminary research question, it examined whether there is a difference in the ultimate level of English article proficiency between the early arrivals (AOA ≤ 12) and the late arrivals (AOA > 12). Then, this study compared the two AOA groups in their article test performance on 5 major types and 22 subtypes of the English article in order to find out what typ

Previous research suggests that classroom participation is an important predictor of second language proficiency. It is, then, important to know which variables influence classroom participation. In the present study, it is hypothesized that classroom participation is predicted by Language Class Risktaking, Sociability, Discomfort, Motivation, Attitude Toward Language Class, Sex, Ethnicity, and the Specific Language Class. Ethnicity is hypothesized to be, one of the best predictors of students&a

The first purpose of this study was to investigate if the amount of native language use affects the ultimate level of attainment in English articles. Twenty-eight native Koreans who immigrated to America at an average age of 5.45 were assigned to one of the two groups. The participants in the two groups were matched for age of arrival in America, chronological age, and length of residence, but only differed according to self-reported percentage use of their L1 per day. The participants in ‘the l
