본 논문은 ‘통합적’ 영어 수업을 실시하거나 운영한 경험이 있는 4명의 초ㆍ중등 영어교사를 대상으로 2회에 걸쳐 실시한 초점집단인터뷰 결과를, ‘융복합교육’을 위한 교사 전문성과 교육여건에 대한 그들의 개념화 양상에 초점을 맞추어, 분석한 것이다. 그 인터뷰들은 녹음ㆍ전사 후 분석되었는데, 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다: 첫째, 이상적인 융복합교육 영어교사는 교과 전문성과 아울러 ‘교과통합 역량’, ‘대인관계 기량’, ‘학습ㆍ혁신 기량’, 그리고 공정성과 합리성을 지녀야 한다; 둘째, 영어교과 자체는 융복합교육에 매우 적합하지만, 한국의 영어교사와 학생들은 아직 영어를 교수 매개어로 사용할 준비가 되어 있지 않다. 참여 교사들은, 현 상황을 개선하기 위하여, 평가 제도와 대학입학 선발 방식이 개선되어야 하며, 창의적 체험 활동 등 기존 제도가 합목적적으로 운용되어야 하고, 학교/행정/연구 기관을 포괄한 체계적 접근이 이루어져야 하며, 교사의 업무가 합리적으로 경감되어야 한다고 인식하고

최근 수십년 사이 우리나라 근해에서는 지각운동이 활발해져 해저지진이 자주 발생하고 있으며 특히, 일본 서해안에는 향후 지진 발생 가능성이 큰 지진공백역이 존재하여 우리나라 동해안은 지진해일에 안전한 지역으로 볼 수 없다. 실제로 우리나라는 일본 서해안에서 발생한 1983년 동해 중부 지진해일과 1993년 북해도 남서 외해 지진해일에 의해 동해안 일부 지역이 비교적 큰 피해를 입었다. 이처럼 국내에서도 지진해일 방재대책 수립에 대한 연구의 필요성이 대두되고 있으나 현재 우리나라의 지진해일 재해대책은 재해예방보다는 재해가 발생한 후 이를 극복하는 과정에 중점을 두고 있어 지진해일 발생 시 피해를 경감시키는데 부족한 것이 사실이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지진해일 방재대책 중에서 가장 효율적인 예방대책으로 알려진 지진해일 재해정보도에 대해 연구하였다. 1983년 동해 중부 지진해일로 인해 가장 큰 피해를 입었던 강원도 삼척시 원덕읍 임원항을 대상으로 피해 현장조사와 대피 시뮬레이션을 통해

This paper explores the grammatical properties of verb be in early Korean EFL inter-languages. Unlike in the L1 acquisition of English, it has been observed (Hahn 2000), excessive forms of verb be are attested frequently in early stages of the syntactic acquisition of English as a foreign language in Korea. The excessive presence of the copular or auxiliary verb has triggered interesting debates on its nature: the topic-subject marker hypothesis (Hahn 2000a,b, 2001; Shin 2000, 2001; Ahn 2003a) v

The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 24(2), 149-182. This paper reports an analysis of the results from two consecutive focused group interviews of four primary and secondary teachers, and an individual interview of a secondary teacher. All the five participants had experienced teaching “integrative” English classes, whether content-b

This article critically examines the 2009 Amendment of the School Curriculum of the Republic of Korea for English education. More specifically, it focuses on whether the general goals for primary and secondary school education stated in its general guidelines are faithfully reflected on the specific statements of the goals, achievement standards, and methods of instruction and evaluation for English education at the same levels. The degree of faithful linkage is evaluated particularly with regar

The English Syntax course is widely offered by English-related departments in Korea. As with other college courses, a fundamental issue regarding this course will be how to teach it. This issue should be considered against Korea's current need for talented people with creativity. Its education sector is to explore how to produce such creative workforce. The revised 7th national curriculum aims at helping develop creativity in the secondary education. This paper assumes that the most efficient wa

The purpose of this paper is to investigate what linguistic features Korean learners' English manifests. For this purpose, we have collected Korean learners' e-mail data and constructed two corpora: NNS1 (a collection of emails by Korean elementary school learners of English) and NNS2 (a collection of emails by Korean adult learners of English). We have then analyzed them in comparison with NS (a collection of emails by teenage speakers of English). In line with Ringbom (1998), we have found out

How should English syntax be taught in college so that it can help students build up creativity? This paper suggests one way on the basis of an action research into the English Syntax course that the author taught in 2009 utilizing (i) challenging lectures, (ii) student reflective essay writing and (iii) classroom discussions of the data, hypotheses, and questions that students presented in their reflective essays. Analyzing the lecture notes, 74 student essays, and instructor response texts, am

The purpose of this paper is to find out some major characteristics of intermediate-advanced Korean learners' English by corpus- linguistically analyzing their essays in comparison with native speakers'. We construct a corpus of CBT TOEFL essays by Korean learners, NNS1 (94076 words in 402 texts), and its sub-corpus, NNS2 (14291 words in 45 texts), and then a corpus of model essays written or meticulously edited by native speakers, NS (14833 words in 35 texts). We compare NNS1 and NNS2 with NS,

This study delves into English language “divestment” in Korean classrooms by focusing on why some students sleep in their English classes. Data were collected using interviews with 26 first and second year high school students who often fell asleep in English classes. The data were subjected to the conventional content analysis and interpreted using Darvin and Norton’s (2015) investment framework. The findings showed that the students divested from English classes for four reasons. First, they d

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of core training on boxer's fitness, trunk insokinetic muscular function, and body-composition.

Ahn, Sung-Ho G.․Lee, Mun Woo. 2015. How to Teach Linguistics Courses in College: A Yungbokhap Educational Approach. The Journal of Studies in Language 31.2, 337-355. The primary aim of this paper is to explore several ways to teach linguistics courses in college so that they can help students prepare for living in the 21st century of globalization. Showing why students will need the so-called “21st century competencies” including critical literacy, it presents yungbokhap education as a viable op

This action research explores ways of improving college freshmen’s critical English literacy through an English-mediated introductory English linguistics course at a college of education. The researcher/instructor has designed the course under a flipped learning approach in that he provided two video clips and two accompanying PPT files for each of the twelve topics and asked the 35 student participants to critically preview them along with relevant chapters from the textbook, and to prepare mat
