The study is aimed at exploring impacts of self-assessment on students’ self-regulated learning and satisfaction at a university setting. Twenty-one students taking a foreign language pedagogy course participated in the study. Weekly self-assessment was assigned for 8 weeks to see if it improved students’ self-regulated learning. Student questionnaire was collected twice on the 7th and the 15th week; in addition, in-depth interviews were conducted to gather students’ perceptions of self-assessment in terms of its benefits and drawbacks. Findings based on quantitative and qualitative analysis are as follows. Firstly, significant positive impacts of self-assessment were found in all three domains of self-regulated learning: cognitive, motivational, and behavioral. Secondly, students found self-assessment overall satisfactory and useful in their studies. In-depth interviews further revealed that self-assessment helped to regulate their study behaviors effectively, which, in turn, led to a better understanding of the subject matter and greater participation in class activities. At the same time, however, some students expressed some burden as a drawback of self-assessment. Pedagogical implications and research suggestions for future study were discussed.

The research examines the types and causes of L2 writing anxiety Korean EFL learners experience and the influence of study abroad experience on L2 writing anxiety types. For the current study, a total of 128 university students majoring in different subjects responded to a questionnaire consisting of the three parts, including 1) the background questionnaire, 2) Second Language Writing Anxiety Inventory (SLWAI), and 3) Causes of Writing Anxiety Inventory (CWAI). In order to analyse the collected data, descriptive statistics and an independent sample t-test were employed. The results showed that the participants were more likely to face cognitive anxiety than somatic anxiety and avoidance behavior. Moreover, L2 learners’ previous study abroad experience had an impact on avoidance behavior more than cognitive anxiety and somatic anxiety. It was also found that main causes of L2 writing anxiety are learners’ linguistic difficulties, fear of teachers’ negative comments, and insufficient writing practice. Based on the findings, both implications for teaching English writing and suggestions for future research are discussed.

The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the perceptions and attitudes of adult native speakers of Korean and Chinese toward the pronunciation of World Englishes. Fifty-two Korean and 63 Chinese speakers listened to six variations of World Englishes and then completed a questionnaire outlining their perceptions and attitudes toward the different pronunciations. The survey results revealed that Korean adult English learners showed less favorable attitudes toward different pronunciations of World Englishes than Chinese adult language learners did. Korean adult learners preferred American English, but Chinese adult learners preferred Canadian English. Among the three individual variables measured, the first language showed the greatest influence in their responses. The findings of this study imply that, in the context of English education in Korea, it is necessary to raise the awareness of both teachers and learners to the acceptability of World Englishes through exposure to a wide variety of English pronunciations.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the future of second foreign language (hereafter, second FL) education after the high school credit system by understanding the primary/secondary teachers’ perceptions of second FL and the actual organization/operation status of second FL, and then to seek the proper tasks and solutions to expand students’ right to choose subjects, which is the purpose of this system. 324 primary/secondary school teachers participated in this study and the results are as follows. First, the languages the teachers preferred the most and would like to recommend to students were Chinese, other languages, French, and Japanese, in that order. Second, in the results of verifying the value of second FL education the primary/secondary teachers reported that overall they not only perceived the necessity of second FL education but also strongly agreed on the necessity to open various second FL subjects. Third, regarding the status of second FL subject, both Chinese and Japanese were overwhelmingly found in secondary school and a subject presented as a choice to students inquiring about their preferences and demands. This implies that the imbalance in second FL education originated not from students’ demand but from the imbalance of second foreign language teachers.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the receptive vocabulary size of Korean university students in Chinese. The study was conducted at the end of the 2022 fall semester and focused on the receptive aspect of vocabulary knowledge, specifically on ‘reading.’ The participants were divided into three groups: 1st year, 2nd year, and 3rd-4th year students, and a vocabulary assessment was carried out. The assessment vocabulary consisted of 80 items extracted from the HSK (2015) test. As a result, the accuracy rates were 60.07% for the 1st year, 76.98% for the 2nd year, and 80.77% for the 3rd-4th year. After conducting one-way ANOVA and post hoc tests, there were statistically significant differences in scores between the 1st year group and both the 2nd year and 3rd-4th year groups. However, there was no statistically significant difference between the 2nd year and 3rd-4th year groups. When comparing the accuracy rates to the cumulative vocabulary of 5,000 words in the HSK level 6, it showed that the 1st year group knew approximately 3,103.50 words, the 2nd year group knew 3,849.00 words, and the 3rd-4th year group knew 4,038.5 words.

This paper compares the language policies implemented in Korea and Japan based on the Korean Language Basic Law and the Promotion of Japanese Language Education Act. The research examines the purpose, background, key policy agencies, measures taken, and achievements of legislation in order to gain insight into the philosophy behind and direction of national language education as a foreign language. The findings are summarized as follows: Firstly, there are differences between Korea and Japan in terms of the process and background of enacting policies for native language education as a foreign language. But in both cases, the legislation regarding language policies carries significant meaning as it imposes obligations on responsible bodies. Secondly, there are points worth noting regarding the content aspect that constitutes educational curricula. Within educational curricula frameworks lie ideological values inherent within them. Both Korean and Japanese languages’ educational curricula as foreign languages fundamentally embrace multilingualism and interculturalism.

The scope of this study was limited to the first spelling question out of 30 Vietnamese questions of each SAT from 2014 to 2023. To analyze the difficulty of the spelling questions, we analyzed the format of the questions focusing on the questions sentence and examined how many times the vocabulary in the questions was exposed, starting from which page of the EBS CSAT Special Lecture, which is the main exam book in reality. In addition, as another criterion for measuring difficulty, we used the Vietnamese vocabulary classification presented in the standard curriculum developed as part of the Critical foreign Languages Education Promotion to see what level the vocabulary on the question corresponds to. To summarize the characteristics of the four periods divided based on the questions sentence, the difficulty level of the spelling questions was inconsistent over the past 10 years and became difficult in the second period, but through the third and fourth periods, the level of completion increased and the difficulty level found its appropriate level.

The purpose of this study is to analyze 118 studies in the field of Korean presentation education conducted between 2005 and January 2023 and to provide insight into the future direction of research in this area. The study utilized Topic modeling and direct researcher analysis methods to examine Korean presentation education research materials. The analysis revealed a steady increase in research on Korean presentation education, with high frequency keywords such as ‘academic’, ‘purpose’, ‘discourse’, and ‘class’ indicating that research has been conducted on these topics. Furthermore, the Topic modeling analysis revealed that many studies have focused on ‘study on the analysis of aspects and the use of strategies in presentation discourse’ and ‘study on the use of presentation classes by learners’, particularly for Chinese native learners. In terms of research methods, the analysis conducted through direct researcher analysis showed that the most common methods used were ‘dialogue analysis’ and ‘survey research’, and single research methods were utilized more frequently than mixed methods. Based on these findings, this study suggests that future research should focus on Korean presentation education for language learners with various purposes and employ a variety of research methods.
