This article introduces an account of literacy research on the use of English literature in L1/EFL contexts and offers new agendas for EFL literature teaching and learning in Korea, which aims to stimulate further research and pedagogical innovation in the field of English literature teaching in Korea. That English literature can and should be placed in the center of English language teaching was a result of the recent studies in culture-bound language learning, authentic texts and contexts, soc

Because of social, cultural, economic, academic, and family stress factors,increasing number of EFL learners in Korea are at greater risk of being EFL underachievers and struggling learns. The goal of this study is to explore how Lacanian psychoanalysis can be applied to the process of bibliotherapy,developmental and clinical, thus offering a convergence of ego psychology and Lacanian psychoanalysis to promote a more efficient therapeutic interventions for EFL underachievers and struggling learn

텍스트 유형(text types)이 지닌 고유한 수사학적 구조와 특징이 학습자가 텍스트를 처리하는데 있어서 학습자의 인지, 기억, 학습 방법, 태도에 미치는 영향이 매우 큼에도 불구하고 어떤 텍스트 유형을 제공했을 때 더 효과적인 영어 학습이 이루어 질 수 있는가에 대한 연구는 매우 미흡하다. 이에 본 연구는 고등학생 148명을 대상으로 실험 수업을 실시해서 텍스트 유형에 따른 읽기 학습의 효과를 어휘 기억력과 학습자의 정의적 측면에서 조사하였다. SPSS WIN 12.0을 이용하여 통제집단과 실험집단을 비교분석 하였는데, 텍스트 유형에 따른 단·장기 어휘기억 회상량 비교는 독립표본검정(T검정)을 통해 그리고 텍스트 유형별 어휘 학습 결과는 이원배치 분산분석(2-Way ANOVA)을 통해 알아보았다. 조사 결과, 서사적 텍스트가 설명적 텍스트에 비해 단기 어휘 기억에는 별 영향을 미치지 못했으나 장기 기억 측면에서 더 좋은 학습효과를 가져왔음을 확인 하였다. 또한 학습자의 어휘 능숙

In recent years in Korea, research regarding Korean-American literature has been visibly increased in the areas of both English and Korean Literature. However, it has been limited to so-called 'adult' literature although multiculturalism gives rise to small but successful publications in the category of Korean-American literature for young adults, which, like Korean-American 'adult' literature, deals with the pains of diaspora, generation gaps, racial/gender prejudices, cultural rootlessness, an

Given that the demand for a ‘practical’ curriculum rather than an academic one increases in reactions against so-called the ‘crisis’ of English studies in Korea, this paper aims to propose the need for incorporating Communicative Approaches into English literature classrooms. Exploring various benefits of using English literary works, dramas in particular, as useful materials for promoting both language and voice in ways that will enrich students' understanding of English literature, this paper

이 논문은 영어 학습 부진, 저항, 장애와 관련하여 나타나는 여러 가지 심리행동 상의 증상을 라깡의 관점에서 증후로 읽고 분석하며 그러한 증후가 드러내는 두 대타자 사이의 갈등을 완화시킬 수 있도록 라깡 정신분석 페다고지에 근거하여 교육과 분석 그리고 교수법과 치유가 융합이 될 수 있는 교육적 개입에 대한 이론적 도구를 탐색하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 라깡의 네 담론을 통해 위에서 제시한 여러 가지 심리행동 상의 증상을 분석하고 정신분석가의 담론을 하나의 치유적 개입을 위한 이론적 도구로 제시하고 있다. 영어 형식에 있어서 기본 적인 교육 원리인 학습자와 지배자(영어 교사, 시험 제도, 사회의 인식) 간의 전이 관계를 거부하는, 즉 학습과 관련하여 상징계의 규율과 질서가 규정한 규율을 거부하고 넘어서는 objet a로 인해 학습자와 지배자 간의 전이 관계가 불안정하고 그 관계가 비생산적이거나 거부가 되고 있기 때문에, “고통 중인” 학습자의 학습 과정에 개입하여 고통을 치료(tr

The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of gender-based chapter book reading on text-reader interactions and learner responses. A trend in English language learning has recently been focused on the areas of learner development and language learning as "socialization." Yet, English classrooms in Korea, high schools in particular, are still performing teacher-centered and exam-oriented lessons. Using English literary works as an EFL reading material has been highly recognized by many sc

This study aims to offer how English language education based on English literary works (including children's literature) can respond more actively to the current crisis in which 'Korean-style' English language education is heading towards collapse. This study also aims to help English language instructors and scholars themselves understand the pedagogical, ethical, and political aspects of their teaching and research so that learning should be at the heart of all transformative actions against

This study examined the effects of textual code-switching on reading comprehension based on paired-text instruction. The subjects of this study are 12 Korean elementary EFL learners aged 11 to 13. This study examined whether textual code-switching in paired-text instruction was deemed effective in terms of enhancing the reading comprehension of both low- and high-proficiency EFL learners. Study results showed that for high-proficiency EFL learners, paired-text instruction was more effective in t

A substantial body of studies on extensive reading (ER) in L2/EFL demonstrates that ER can bring considerable gains in overall development: reading comprehension, reading rate, reading strategies, reading fluency, reading habits, vocabulary, writing, listening, grammar, speaking, and test-taking skills in both L2 and EFL settings. Based on the profound effects of extensive reading on overall L2/FL development including its affective and cognitive benefits, this paper suggests that the evidence f

본 연구는 여러 ‘위기청소년’ 가운데 이혼 가정 청소년을 대상으로 방과 후에 운영되었던 토론 기반 독서치료 수업을 ‘위기청소년’ 문제에 대응할 수 있는 효율적인 학교 내 치유 프로그램으로 제시하고자 하였다. 학교가 다른 공간에 비해 훨씬 안정된 환경을 제공해 줄 수 있을 뿐 아니라 ‘학교 연결성’이 잘 작동되면 위기청소년들이 교사와 또래 친구들과 의미 있는 관계를 형성하면서 위기를 극복할 수 있는 자원을 제공받을 수 있기 때문이었다. 또한 독서치료는 이혼으로 인해 발생된 새로운 현실에 대한 ‘바람직한’ 재개념 설정에 도움이 되며 라캉적 치유와도 그 맥을 함께 하고 있기 때문이었다. 교내 독서치료 프로그램에 참여하였던 고등학생 A의 치유 과정을 라캉 ‘분석가 담론’을 통해 설명함으로써 본 연구는 ‘교육이 치료가 되고 치료가 교육이 되는’ 학교 기반의 치유적 교육 프로그램이 어떻게 위기청소년 문제 해결을 위한 실효적 대책이 될 수 있는가를 보여주었다. 분석 결과 고등학생 A와 참여자 모

In consideration of the educational and cultural differences between English speaking countries and Korea, a new motivational scale has been developed, taking into account intrinsic, extrinsic as well as amotivation factors. Literature review, analysis of previous studies, experts' review, and exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were part of the research process. Finally, the reliability and validity of the scale were validated using a survey of 880 middle school students. Results of th

The purpose of this study is to explore how the types of reading text and vocabulary task affect students' vocabulary learning and its retention. The participants in the study comprised 84 first-grade middle school students, with each class consisting of 28 students. In order to identify their effects on vocabulary learning and retention, pretests, immediate post-tests and delayed post-tests were conducted. Paired-sample and independent t-tests were performed to analyze the gathered data. The re
