This paper explores who needs what aspects of L2 English to what levels of proficiency, focusing on college English curriculum development in Korea. A survey was conducted of 532 college students in Seoul. Grounded that career is one of the most important motives for EFL learning, the participants were divided into seven groups based on their desired careers. The results show that the types of desired careers of the participants are highly correlative with the strength and weakness of their need for learning English, the kinds of English skills they want to learn, and the levels of English proficiency they hope to achieve.

This paper investigates whether there is a correlation between the development of agreement and the unlearning of null subjects and also how the null subjects of Korean EFL learners’ interlanguage are represented in topic-bound positions. The results of this study show that the unlearning of null subjects does not necessarily help the development of the third person singular morpheme like previously put forth by pro-drop analysis, which disconfirms the long-lived belief, MUH (Morphological Uniformity Hypothesis). On the contrary, the results also show that the positions of null arguments actually conform to the positions of topic-bound positions, which leads to the suggestion of the topic-drop analysis of null subjects.

Il est devenu presque banal de parler aujourd’hui d’exploiter Internet en classe de français. Mais j’espère tout de même réussir à pointer ici quelques paramètres qui me semblent cruciaux, paramètres que j’illustrerai de plusieurs exemples liés à ma pratique de formation d’enseignants de français ou tirés d’articles d’autres didacticiens. Mon propos sera articulé en trois parties, qui correspondent à trois approches différentes d'Internet – approches nullement exclusives les unes des autres -, la conception de cybertâches, l’introduction des apprenants dans les discours qui se développent sur le réseau, enfin les projets de télécollaboration permettant de mettre en contact des apprenants de pays différents.

L'hypermédia offre aux enseignants une formidable opportunité pour augmenter les stratégies pédagogiques existantes ainsi que pour en développer de nouvelles. Les apprenants peuvent consulter une base de données en tant que novice ou expert. Les enseignants doivent faire de l'environnement hypermédia qui permettra aux apprenants de structurer le savoir afin de mieux refléter leurs propres idées, leurs intérêts et leurs besoins. Les enseignants peuvent avoir à consacrer du temps en classe pour gérer les problèmes découlant du système hypermédia plutôt que le contenu lui-même. L'utilisation de l'hypermédia dans la salle de classe peut conduire à des discussions en classe uniques comme à leur apprendre à explorer les chemins insolites à travers une base de données. Le système hypermédia représente un environnement d'apprentissage potentiellement riche, à la fois pour l'individu en tant qu'apprenant et pour les utilisateurs travaillant sous un accord de collaboration. Il semble être trop tôt pour dire ce que va devenir l'importance de ce nouvel environnement d'apprentissage du français.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate Korean learners' request strategies. To this end, 30 Korean French learners participated in this study. For data collecting method, the Discourse Completion Test (DCT) was used and twelve DCT situations on request were provided for the learners. They were asked to read the description and write down the answers in each situation. Modified CCSARP(Cross-Cultural Speech Act Realization Patterns) coding scheme was used for the written responses of request sequences. This study analyzed the use of request head act, supportive moves, downgraders, alerters and perspectives of speaker. Learners dominated in 'query preparatory', 'mood derivable' and 'want statement' for head act. The frequency of the rate, however, is quite different in head acts. They used downgraders far less frequently and this made their request formulas more direct and less polite than ones used by native speakers. As for supportive moves, learners dominated in 'justification' and 'recognition of load'. In types of alerter, most of learners are heavily skewed to the 'attention getter' and 'term of honor' as main strategies, which may lead learners to lack of pragmatic competence. In these three perspectives, hearer-oriented is much stronger than other two perspectives. These results imply that teachers and textbook developers should consider various pragmatic factors in teaching French language

In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird versucht, die Lehr-und Lernstrategie der deutschen Grammatik vor allem in Bezug auf die Neigung der Lernenden zu untersuchen. Dafür analysieren wir zum Ersten die verschiedenen Lehrwerken wie die Lehrwerke der Grammatik-Übersetzungsmethode, die Lehrwerke der audiolingualen Methode und die Lehrwerke des Kommunikativen Ansatzes. Nach der Analyse zeigen wir, wie grammatische Regeln in drei verschiedenen Methoden bisher bearbeitet werden. Damit kann man auch beobachten, welche Elemente aus verschiedenen Methoden die Lernenden am effektivsten beeinflusst. Zum Zweiten wird die Gehirnfunktion und die Neigung der Lernenden in Bezug auf eine effective Lernstrategie behandelt. Im Gehirn gibt es zwei Teile. Beide Hemisphären haben unterschiedlichen Aufgaben bei der Verarbeitung von Informationen. Linke Hemisphäre ist logisch, denkt linear, analysiert, erklärt, ordnet und speichert Regeln. Diese Charaktere sind für den Erwerb der Grammatiksregeln geeignet. Aber rechte Hemisphäre registriert ganze Bilder und größe Einheiten, denkt in Bildern, speichert visuelle Klangbilder und erinnrt sich an komplexe Bilder. Wenn die beiden Hemisphären bei der Verarbeitung von Informationen zusammenarbeiten, wird eine Information länger behalten und schneller erinnert. Eine visualisierte Reizung reagiert rechte Hemisphäre. Die abstrakte Grammatikstruktur werden besser erinnert, wenn man sie mit konkreten Bildern oder anschaulichen Symbolen kombiniert. Daher brauchen wir die Strategie zur Visualisierung von Grammatik zu überlegen.

This paper investigates different types of functions and characteristics subtitle communications to the audience. This research is based on the analysis of a reality show which aired and drew much attention a few months ago. The title of this TV program was 'Grandpa over Flowers', a reality show featuring four renowned elderly actors traveling around Europe together. First of all, the function of subtitle is to serve as the constructor of Narrativity in reality shows. In this sense, Narrativity is explained in three aspects: the narrative structure of incidents and episodes, the fictive embodiment of figures and the creation of narrator. Second, the function of subtitle promotes laugh and this attribute supports the so-called 'Redekonstellation' of the audience. Although the audience is watching the program alone, subtitles present a pseudo-dialogue situation in which there are other partners participating simultaneously in the dialog. In addition to these functions, subtitle serves a variety of other interesting communication functions, which this paper proposes further research.

In general the pronunciation of French is not easy to learn, especially for beginners. The students of secondary education have much difficulty pronouncing French words which often creates fear, deters students and even makes them give up to practice French language. Our purpose is to present a phonetic system for the French novice not only to encourage communication in language but also which helps to learn easily and with interest. So we examined what is the norm for the pronunciation of French and analyzed the text books used in schools and the teaching materials for “FLE” in France. As a result, we found that seven oral and three nasal vowels are considered sufficient for communication. For the consonants there are almost no variations according to the standard or standardized French pronunciation.

In this article, we have examined the studies on the reading competence in the context of French as a foreign language. The goal of this study originated from the observation that the pedagogy in Korea focuses on the linguistic and socio-cultural competences of learners. However, this teaching method would not adequately enable learners to read efficiently, nor to become autonomous readers in French. In order to better understand the reading competence, we have proposed to consider the text in which reading activities take place as a semiotic and linguistic object and as a discourse. We have adopted the "l'ordre du scriptural" and the "l'aire scripturale" according to the theory of J. Peytard. From this perspective, we have examined a text used in the reading comprehension part of DELF, level B1. Our study indicates that reading activity is the communication between the writer and the reader, and requires the reading competence, which the communicative competence of which all components also involved. Thus, we have proposed that it is necessary to teach reading in terms of characteristics of the text which concerns the "l'ordre du scriptural" according to M. Dabène.
