About the Lab
Professor Min-ae Kim's research lab specializes in second language acquisition, with a primary focus on Korean as a Foreign Language (KFL) instruction and learner language development. The lab investigates error analysis, contrastive rhetoric in L2 writing, and the theoretical foundations of language proficiency, particularly through Bachman’s framework of language competence. Research directions include developing proficiency-based curriculum models, analyzing rhetorical features across L2 writing by diverse learner backgrounds, and enhancing teaching methodologies grounded in empirical error analysis and interlanguage studies.

Selected Papers
3Error analysis is one of the most useful methods for learners’ language research. This paper discusses about the analysis method of learners’ error. The method of error analysis has three major aspects: (1) the description of the errors, (2) the explanation of errors (3) the implementation of the results within teaching methods. This study intends to analyze of types and issues of 33 papers about Korean learners’ error analysis depending of these major aspects. Main concern is what is the method
The purpose of this study is to explore some contrastive rhetorical features based on analyzing texts written by KFL-learners and to suggest a model of L2 writing from the contrastive rhetorical perspective further. Written texts of 120 advanced learners classified into 5 groups (Japanese, Chinese, Western, Russian, and South-East Asian) have been analysed and described in several respects of rhetorical features. This study consists of three parts as follows: First, the concepts of contrastive r
본 연구의 목표는 한국어교육과정의 이론적 틀을 마련하고 수행 목표를 구체화하여 한국어 교수 학습 목표 기술의 실제를 보이는 데 있다. 이를 위해 언어능력에 대한 Bachman(1990)의 범주화 논의를 받아들여 대체로 언어능력을 언어구성능력과 언어사용능력으로 나누었다. 언어구성능력은 다시 발음․문자 표기, 어휘, 문법, 텍스트 능력 등으로, 언어사용능력은 기능과 사회언어학 능력으로 하위 범주화하였다. 이런 기본 틀을 바탕으로 언어 능력의 수행 목표를 듣기, 말하기, 읽기, 쓰기의 네 가지 기술에 대하여 기술하되 각 하위 영역별 교수 학습 목표를 범주화하여 기술하여 종래의 나열적인 기술이 갖는 내용의 중복이나 누락이 없도록 도모하였다. 또한 한국어교육과정 목표 기술의 모델을 제시하였는데 전체적으로 국제통용모형의 표준적인 한국어교육 교수 항목을 반영하고자 했으며, 언어구성능력과 언어사용능력 목표와 연계되는 구체적인 수행 목표를 바탕으로 능력 기반 교수가 가능하도록 하였다.
