The present study compared the effects of isolated and integrated form-focused instruction (FFI) on the learning of vocabulary in reading passages. Their effects were also compared to those of incidental exposure on vocabulary learning. It further investigated whether such effects would differ depending on the types of vocabulary assessments. To this end, 80 college students in reading-oriented classes received either isolated or integrated FFI treatments over four 50-minute sessions. They also took the pretest and posttest designed to measure their vocabulary learning. The vocabulary tests consisted of two assessment types: one without contexts and the other provided with contexts. The results showed that the learners remembered the words instructed through isolated or integrated FFI better than those through incidental exposure while reading. However, no significant differences were observed between the two different types of FFI in learning target vocabulary. Some advantages were found for isolated FFI on the vocabulary test provided without contexts and for integrated FFI on the vocabulary test provided with context. Directions for further studies and pedagogical implications will be discussed.

과거 지식 중심 교육과정에서는 많이 아는 것이 중요하였다면, 역량 중심 교육과정에서는 무엇을 할 수 있느냐가 중요하다. 각국의 역량중심 교육과정에서 나타나는 공통점은 개인적으로는 창의적 사고력, 문제해결력 등을 강조하고, 사회적으로는 협동, 배려 등을 강조하고 있는 것이다. 핵심역량 은 역량 가운데 학교교육을 통해 누구나가 길러야 할 기본적이고 보편적이며 중요한 성격의 것이다. 역량중심 교육과정에서 교사는 역량을 중심으로 학습목표를 진술하여야 하고, 교수･학습 방법 또한 이러한 역량을 신장시키는 융합 수업, 프로젝트 수업 등을 적극 활용하여야 하며, 평가의 방법 역시 과정 중심의 수행평가를 통해 학생들이 자신의 지식을 통해 어떻게 역량을 길러내는지에 초점을 두어야 할 것이다. 2015 개정 교육과정은 미래 사회가 요구하는 핵심역량을 함양하여 창의융합형 인재를 양성하는 데에 중점을 둔다. 2015 개정 한문과 교육과정에서는 의사소통 능력, 정보처리 능 력, 창의적 사고 능력, 인성 역량, 심미적 감성을 한문과 핵심역량으로 설정하였다. ‘한자와 어휘’ 자료를 통한 문자도 그리기 수업, 한자 자르기/만들기 수업, 이름 한자로 이야기 만들기 수업, 동음 이의어로 짧은 글 짓기 수업, 상형문자카드로 문장 만들기 수업 등은 한문과 핵심역량을 함양할 수 있을 것이다. 다른 교과와의 융합 수업 모델이 적극적으로 개발되어야 하며, 한문과 역량을 측정할 수 있는 도구 개발이 필요하다.

Yekeo Yuhae vocabulary has 62 categories, including 4651 Chinese words. We think these words, with the characteristics of the same time, systematicness and richness are active in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. We searched five vocabulary categories, including 544 Chinese words, finding Chinese words in Yekeo Yuhae mainly from Ancient Chinese times, Middle Chinese period and period of Tang Song and Yuan Dynasties. The amount of words coming from the Ming and Qing Dynasties is the least, which reflects the inheritance and stability of the vocabulary

The present study aims to investigate the direct and indirect contributions of Korean EFL college students’ L2 receptive and productive vocabulary knowledge to their L2 writing performances by using a structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis with a goal to explore the pathways of vocabulary knowledge to writing. Data from 178 students were collected through tests of receptive and productive vocabulary breadth and depth, a writing test and a reading test. In testing a hypothesized model on the roles of receptive and productive vocabulary in writing, the results of the SEM analysis reveal the direct role of productive vocabulary in writing. The indirect role of receptive vocabulary on writing was observed through the mediating role of productive vocabulary or reading ability due to the direct contribution of receptive vocabulary to both productive vocabulary and reading and that of productive vocabulary and reading to writing. Findings from the study shed light on the relations of L2 receptive and productive vocabulary knowledge with L2 writing abilities, suggesting potential benefits of both receptive and productive vocabulary learning for L2 writing.

漢字語는 한국으로 도입되는 과정에서 원래의 형태와 의미가 통째로 차용되는 한편, 한국 어 어휘 체계의 내부적 특성과 제약 및 고유의 언어 관습에 따라 적절히 수정되어, 형태·기 능·의미 등 여러 면에서 변화를 가져왔다. 하지만 한국어 漢字語와 중국어 어휘의 관계는 여 전히 일정한 대응관계를 이루고 있다. 본 논문은 한국어 漢字語와 현재 중국에서 사용되고 있는 어휘의 유래와 특징 및 對應과 非對應관계를 비교했다. 또한 이를 통해 중국어 어휘와 동일하거나 유사 혹은 반대되는 의미로 사용되는 한자어의 특성 및 용법의 공통점과 차이점 을 찾고자 했다.

식기와 같은 세간은 그다지 화려하지 않지만 우리 생활에 없어서는 안 될 소중한 도구들 이다. 세간은 원래 아녀자들이 자주 쓰는 물건이다. 그러기에 대부분 한글 고유어가 많다. 동 그란 모양의 대바구니를 동고리, 귀가 달린 병을 귀때병, 밥을 푸는 쥬게 등. 그러면 이런 단 어들을 한자로는 어떻게 표현했을까? 그리고 그 한자들을 사용한 이유는 무엇일까? 우리는 오랜 세월 그 한자를 가지고 이 한국의 세간들을 표현해 왔는데 중국 역시 여전히 그 한자를 가지고 그 세간을 표현하고 있는가? 한국과 중국의 식문화가 다르고 부엌의 모양과 형태가 달랐는데 그 차이들을 어떻게 표현하였을까? 본고는 이러한 물음에 대하여 『자전석요』(1909, 지석영)에 나타난 한자에서 식기를 나타내는 한자 표제어를 대상으로 그 모양과 용도, 사용 하는 한자와 현대적 의미, 그리고 중국어와 한국어를 비교해서 우리말이 어떻게 이루어졌는 지를 살펴보았다. 우리나라는 한글이 창제되기 전까지는 관련 용어들을 한자로 기록해야 했 고, 그러면서 한자와 우리말이 서로 영향을 주고받았으리라 생각된다. 이런 과정에서 우리말 과 한자에서 유래된 말, 그리고 다른 어원을 가진 어휘들을 구분하는 것은 비교언어학적 측 면에서도 매우 중요한 연구이다

The study investigates the effect of different types of visual images, i.e., static images versus dynamic images, on English vocabulary learning. Eighty-four students in the fourth grade of an elementary school participated in this study, and they were divided into two experimental groups and a control group. One of the experimental groups utilized static images, and the other group, videos as dynamic images in vocabulary learning. The control group was provided with the definition or the explanation of each target word in L1. The results of the study manifested that the static image group showed higher scores for the post test than the dynamic image group. The comparison of the pre and post affective tests demonstrated that the static image group showed an improvement in confidence in language learning and the dynamic image group showed positive change in the attitude of all three areas: interest, confidence, and aroused motivation. The analysis of the open-ended questionnaires showed that many participants in the static image group tended to use pictures as retrieval cues to remember vocabulary.

This study aims to investigate the effects of semantic clustering on Korean secondary school students’ English vocabulary learning. The present study was conducted with 56 secondary school students in South Korea. In order to determine if and how semantic clustering affects second language learners, the participants were divided into two groups: a semantically related (SR) word group and a semantically unrelated (SU) word group. The two comparison groups were taught the same 25 vocabulary items in different clusters (SR vs. SU). In the experiment, vocabulary test scores were gathered and analyzed three times: on a pre-, post-, and delayed-test. In the results, scores from the SU word group significantly outperformed the SR word group on the post-test, but on the delayed-test. Findings suggest that presenting new L2 words in SU sets is more effective than SR sets in the short term with Korean EFL secondary school students.

The present study examined the comparative role of vocabulary and grammar in different test measures of L2 reading comprehension. A total of 83 students were asked to take three reading tests with a different technique each (multiple-choice, cloze, and recall), a vocabulary test, and a grammar test, and to respond to a questionnaire. The findings were as follows: 1) learners’ reading performance differed across the three reading test measures, and the two language variables exerted different influences in L2 reading as measured by the cloze test technique; and 2) concerning the comparative contribution of the two language variables to L2 reading comprehension according to learners’ L2 proficiency, the contribution was significant exclusively in the recall test, and it varied depending upon their L2 proficiency. This research demonstrates the importance of taking into account the type of test techniques in studies of the relative role of vocabulary and grammar knowledge in L2 reading.

The present study was designed to examine the effects of a variety of factors on English vocabulary achievement. To this end, a total of seven hypotheses were posed in light of previous research on vocabulary learning. To test these hypotheses, an SEM procedure was performed for a sample of 368 Korean university students. The effects of gender and academic specialization on English vocabulary achievement were also examined through multi-sample analyses. Results of the present study demonstrate that Korean university EFL learners’ English vocabulary achievement was a direct function of motivation and vocabulary strategy. The effects of confidence, learner beliefs, and vocabulary learning methods, however, were found to be only indirectly connected to vocabulary achievement through motivation and strategy use. The results of multisample analyses for learners of different gender and academic major groups identified a total of four path coefficients whose effects functioned differentially across different learner groups. Implications of the present are also discussed.

This study examined the effectiveness of integrated language instruction using dictogloss on vocabulary knowledge and retention. Forty EFL students from two classes of an elementary school participated in the study. The integrated language class and segregated language class were examined by looking into the effect of each instructional type on the vocabulary knowledge development and retention. A total of 10 target words were selected from a storybook related to their textbook. Four types of vocabulary knowledge were measured: passive recognition, passive recall, active recognition, and active recall. The pretest and posttest were performed to measure the vocabulary growth. The retention rate of each instruction was examined by conducting a delayed posttest on the same words after two weeks. The results of this study indicate that integrated language instruction using dictogloss works better in vocabulary retention. They also suggest that further classroom research is required to prove that dictogloss is an effective way for vocabulary learning.

The present study investigated which facets of perceived self-efficacy (PSE) in L2 reading are significantly related to L2 reading proficiency (L2RP), which type of linguistic knowledge feeds into PSE, and how they are related to L2RP when considered together. Participants (n = 95) were college students from two universities in Seoul. Four subcomponents of PSE were identified for investigation: text-based PSE, general PSE, PSE in linguistic knowledge, and PSE in authentic reading. The result of stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that the general PSE whose items reflect dimensions of social comparative influences and perceived controllability over environments was the only significant predictor of L2RP (R2 = 17.7%). For the relationships between linguistic knowledge and PSE, vocabulary knowledge (VK) was shown to be the only significant predictor of PSE when considered together with grammar knowledge (GK) and L2RP (R2 = 22.9%), while VK and GK were significant predictors of L2RP (R2 = 69.4%). PSE was not found to make an independent contribution to L2RP when considered with linguistic knowledge.

This study investigated the effects of using comic strips and context on the vocabulary learning of Korean high school students. Ninety high school students participated in the study and they were divided into three groups: a control group and two experimental groups using comic strips and using context, respectively. In addition, questionnaires were used to investigate students’ attitudes toward English vocabulary learning. The results of the study revealed that there were statistically significant differences in productive vocabulary retention among three groups in terms of short-term memory. In particular, the experimental groups showed high short-term memory rate compared with the control group, which may mean that the use of comic strips and context in English vocabulary learning is effective in improving learners’ productive vocabulary retention. Also there was a statistically significant difference in productive vocabulary retention among three groups in terms of long-term memory. The experimental groups showed a high long-term memory rate compared with the control group. The results of the questionnaire revealed that the two experimental groups showed more positive attitudes towards English vocabulary learning. This may suggest that teaching vocabulary with comic strips and context could be effective for students in English classes, and it is very helpful to develop various activities using comic strips and context.

Laufer, Elder, Hill, and Congdon (2004) proposed the vocabulary strength framework reflecting the process of vocabulary knowledge development with a hierarchical order of four strength modalities: passive recognition, active recognition, passive recall, and active recall. Employing this framework, the present study aims to empirically examine its generalizability to EFL contexts and further explore its availability to validating the TEPS vocabulary section. Three sets of web-based tests for three proficiency groups (beginner (n=37), intermediate (n=31), and advanced (n=30)) are developed with words from three frequency bands (3000, 5000, and 7000). The test includes four sections representing four strength modes and an optional TEPS section for the two upper groups. A one-parameter Rasch model analysis reveals that item difficulties agree to the hierarchical sequence of difficulty order in the framework. Different vocabulary growth rates were found across modes and word bands. The TEPS item difficulties that are closer to recall than recognition may give a theoretical account of the measuring construct that the TEPS items tap upon.

본 연구는 일본어와 한국어에 있어 높은 사용률을 보이고 있는 2자 한자어에 초점을 두어 품사성 특징, 어휘적 성질, 통어적 역할에 대해 알아보았다. 그 목적은, 두 언어 모두 한자어의 쓰임이 많고, 각각의 고 유어와 거의 흡사하게 쓰이고 있다는 공통점을 이용하여, 양언어의 학 습자에게 유의한 학습방향을 제시하고자 함에 있다. 일본어에서는 ‘한 자어동사’ 혹은 ‘한어동사’라고도 쓰이는데, 이에 대한 정의를 살펴보았 고, 한국어에서는 어종에 대해서 살펴보면서, 한자어의 위치에 대해 검 토해 보았다. 나아가, 한자어에 접속되는 여러 가지 어미에 대해 언급하면서 한자 어가 가지고 있는 어휘성의 특징을 일한 양 언어 간에 비교해 보았다. 물론, 공통점이 있는 반면, 상이점도 많기 때문에 학습자에게 혼란을 가져오는 부분이 있으므로, 그 부분 또한 명확하게 밝혀야 하지만, 지 면상 금후의 과제로 남겨 두기로 한다. 결론을 말하자면, 한국어에서도 한자어의 위치는 중요한 부분을 차 지하고 있고, 한국어교육에 있어서도 반드시 고려되어 지도해야 할 부 분이다. 일한 양언어의 한자어의 어휘적 특성과 지도에 필요한 부분을 명확히 알아보았고, 여기에 대한 지도사항이 절실히 필요함이 인식되어 야 한다.

This study investigates the effects of working memory capacity (WMC) and the types of vocabulary learning, i.e., explicit vs. implicit, on the acquisition of English multi-word verbs. For this purpose, a total of 60 middle school students, divided into two groups (control and experimental), participated in the study. The participants in the control group were taught multi-word verbs in a traditional and explicit manner, whereas the participants in the experimental group were exposed to multi-word verbs with short passages. The results manifested that both of the instructional styles had positive effects on the learners’ acquisition of multi-word verbs in the short-term. Although there was not a significant interaction between WMC and the overall scores on the immediate post-test, according to the scores on the gap-fill tasks which tested learners’ productive knowledge, there were significant differences between the low-WMC and high-WMC groups. High-WMC students learned more target multi-word verbs than low-WMC students on average. The results also showed that WMC and the two different learning types did not affect the students’ acquisition of multi-word verbs in the long-term. Further, the interaction effect between WMC and learning type in the long-term was not significant.

The present study aims to compare teacher talk and the course book used as a source of vocabulary input. For the research purpose, part of Yenny Corpus (Kwon, 2013) was used to analyze the vocabulary content of the two input sources. Yenny Corpus consists of a total of 247,398 words collected from EFL classes of four native and five non-native university lecturers. In this study, however, the data of 1,416 words by the native teachers and 1,651 words by the non-native teachers with their course book scripts were used. To analyze the quantity and quality of the vocabulary use (e.g., level, diversity) of the two input sources, some representative word lists such as BNC-COCA 25,000 word family list topped on Range Program (Heatley & Nation, 2002) were applied. The results show that the teachers (including both native and non-native teachers) orally provide 8,090 word types while their course books introduce 4,713. The non-native teachers provide a little more vocabulary input compared with the native teachers’ talk. In addition, the level of the vocabulary provided by the non-native teachers seems more appropriate for their students’ vocabulary ability. Nevertheless, in order to generalize the findings further research is needed in different settings.

The present study explored the effects of different task types on the autonomous vocabulary learning of EFL learners. To this end, two types of tasks with similar but slightly different levels of involvement loads were developed: a corpus-based task and a word map task. The participants of the study were 41 EFL students from a university in Seoul, Korea. They were divided into two groups: a corpus group (n=20) and a word map group (n=21). A total of 33 target words were selected and the experiment was administered during a period of five weeks. Major findings from the study were as follows: First, the corpus task proved to be more effective than the word map task in productive vocabulary learning, whereas the two tasks showed similar effectiveness in receptive vocabulary learning. Second, the two tasks varied in the effectiveness of vocabulary learning depending on the learners' vocabulary proficiency levels and the specific domains of vocabulary knowledge (receptive and productive). Lastly, the corpus group responded more positively than the word map group to their task and to the vocabulary learning. The findings indicate that the corpus task has advantages over the word map task and provide ‘residual’ empirical support for Hulstijn and Laufer’s (2001) involvement load hypothesis. Based on the findings, some pedagogical implications were made for the effective teaching and the autonomous learning of vocabulary.

This study examined how smart device applications affected elementary school students who have learning difficulties in English. Five 6th grade students who needed remedial instruction were selected and given 50 hours of instruction using English vocabulary flash cards in a smartphone application. one hundred vocabulary words were chosen and developed for flash cards for the students to examine their intellectual and emotional changes in English learning. The research results showed that the students' vocabulary improved in listening, reading and speaking. It also revealed that the students gained confidence and interest in English learning, and their anxiety decreased. In addition, the application was easy and convenient for the students to use, especially in recognizing the pronunciation and the meaning of the vocabulary words. This study recommends further development and use of smart device applications for elementary school English instruction.

본고는 2015 개정 교육과정이 개발되고 있는 현 시점에서 한문과 교육과정 ‘어휘’ 관련 내용과 적용의 실제 사이에서 발생할 수 있는 간극을 최소화하기 위해, 2010학년도 본수능부터 2016학년도 6월 모의평가까지의 평가 문항을 중심으로 그간 한문과에서 실시된 ‘어휘’ 관련 평가 문항의 내용 요소와 내용 요소별 평가 유형 등을 분석하였다. 그 결과 그간 대학수학능력시험에서 출제된 어휘 관련 평가 문항들은 한자 어휘와 관련된 다양한 평가 요소를 고루 반영하고 있으며, 그 유형도 변화를 거듭하여 다양한 유형으로 안착된 상태였다. 하지만 급변하는 교육 환경 속에서 한문과가 위상을 공고히 하면서 발전해 나가기 위해서는 현재 상태에 안주할 것이 아니라 끝임 없이 새로운 평가 요소를 개발하고 해당 요소에 적합한 유형의 문항을 출제할 필요가 있다.
