Park Man-do. 1998. A Study on the Improvement of Language Teaching Practice in Junior College. Studies in Modern Grammar 13, 253-276. The purpose of this study is to analyze the present situation of language teaching practice in Junior Colleges, and to propose a way to improve it. This is achieved by comparing and analyzing questionnaires that describe teachers` and students` responses in language learning. The language laboratory has played an important role in improving students` ability to speak English, but it has been analyzed that there are many problems to be improved and complemented in both teachers teaching and students learning of English. So professors and college administrators involved in students learning of foreign language should all find in the review of effective language curriculum: new teaching methods, reading materials, smaller class sizes, and educational facilities. This paper suggests that the effective operation of the new Multimedia laboratory should be necessarily needed to improve students` good command of English, including its advantages over the existing language laboratory. Furthermore, the following topics will be examined in order to point out various aspects and problems of language teaching practice. (1) Lesson types relevant to English (2) Comparison and analysis of practical use in the language laboratory (3) Presentation of suitable models through examination of students` interests (4) Effective teaching methods in language teaching practice.

In this paper I examined the theory of feature percolation in detail. The feature percolation I examined is reminiscent of the notion of feature instantiation found in the theory of GPSG. Little attention has been given to the development of a general theory of how features combine and percolate. The purpose of this paper is to show that the feature percolation principles, when incorporated into the context of government binding theory, allow a unified treatment of a number of unrelated syntactic phenomena. I have discussed (a) sub-command facts. (b) differences in blocking effects of long distance reflexives, and (c) that-trace effects in English and other languages on the basis of the feature percolation principles. As a result, this general principle will eliminate a number of separate and arbitrary principles. The question that remains for further examination is to see whether this feature percolation principle can be extended to other syntactic features.
