본 연구는 기본 욕구의 개인차에 따라 메시지에 담긴 행동을 추구하는 데 효과적인 메시지 제공자가 다른지 알아보고자 하였다. Haddock, Maio, Arnold, & Huskinson (2008)에 의하면, 감성 욕구(NFA)가 높은 사람은 정서 기반의 메시지에, 인지 욕구(NFC)가 높은 사람은 인지 기반의 메시지에 더 영향을 받았다. 본 연구는 이러한 기본 욕구의 개인차가 메시지뿐 아니라 메시지 제공자에까지 적용할 수 있으리라 생각했다. 예를 들면, 감성 욕구가 높은 사람은 전문가보다 의미 있는 타인에게 전달받은 메시지를 더 잘 수용할 수 있다. 이에 따라, 본 연구는 VR에서 개인별 건강 조언에 효과적인 메시지 제공자를 파악하고자, 개인의 욕구 (2: NFA, NFC), 메시지 제공자 (3: 전문가, 의미 있는 타인, 타인) 그리고 VR 착용 (2: Text, VR)에 따른 선호도와 일상생활 스트레스 관리에 대한 자기 효능감을 측정하였다. 실험 결과, 예상과 달리, 기본 욕구와 메시지 제공자의 특성에 따른 일치 효과는 발견할 수 없었다. 그러나, 감성 욕구가 높은 집단이 VR 건강 조언에 더 적합하다는 경향을 파악할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 의의는 VR 환경에서 개인의 맞춤형 메시지 제공자를 파악하고자 한 데 있다. 또한, 본 연구는 초기 단계의 연구로 추후 VR 환경의 건강 조언 연구에 기여하리라 예상한다.

Many instructors new to teaching English composition at the college level feel frustrated with what to teach and how to teach it. To learn about the context of support for these instructors, this small scale pilot study asked current ESL composition instructors in a large Midwestern research university to respond to a questionnaire aimed at revealing how experienced teachers give advice to new teachers. The participants included 16 experienced English composition instructors— eight teachers with five or fewer years of teaching experience and eight teachers with more than five years of experience. From each open-ended question response, emerging themes were coded and counted; additional data were qualitatively analyzed. Results showed that no differences in the number of themes per response were found between the two groups; however, similarities and differences regarding the orientation and content of advice given were found. Based on what was learned from this study, the researcher discusses how experienced teachers can better mentor new L2 composition teachers.

Park, Yong-Yae. 2018. “Advice Receiving in College EFL Writing Tutorials”. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 26(1). 159~200. This paper explores interactional practices observed in advice receiving by the tutees in college EFL writing tutorials within the framework of conversation analysis. The data for the study include 24 audio-recorded writing tutorial sessions at a university in Korea. The findings indicate three types of advice receiving: 1) advice receiving with marked acknowledgments using a:: (‘oh’) to mark the advice to be informative and newsworthy; 2) advice receiving with unmarked acknowledgments; and 3) advice resisting. Advice resisting can be further divided into three types, that is, (1) making excuses, (2) complaining, and (3) disagreeing. In the first two types of advice resisting, the tutors' advice deals with various problematic areas in the tutee's writing, and the tutees resist advice by pointing out their inability to do what is advised or complaining about the complexity of the task. The third type, disagreeing, takes place when the tutees resist the tutors' advice on vocabulary choices. These resisting patterns seem to differ from those observed elsewhere (cf, Heritage and Sefi 1992) and reflect the nature of the tutorials and the particular tutees in this study. Finally, the study suggests some pedagogical implications on EFL learning and tutor training.
