This study investigated how Japanese learners of Korean perceive the similarity of stop sounds between the Korean and Japanese languages. The results found, compared to the beginner’s group, the advanced group showed a lower rating value for the similarity for the same stimulus sound, and the learners with a higher perception ability distinguished lower similarities, even among the inner groups of the beginner’s and advanced group. This study also investigated how the related information in the native language affects how the learners perceive lenis consonants in word-medial position in the Korean language, as Japanese stop sounds are divided into two sounds depending on [±voiced] feature, whereas Korean stop sounds do not have a voiced sound in word-initial consonantal context, but the lenis consonants go through voicing in word-medial position. In result, Japanese learners tend to perceive the lenis consonants in word-medial position much better than other sounds, and it was shown that the related information in native language had played a positive role in perceiving Korean word-medial consonants.
This study aims to understand the foreign language learner’s internal process while they are translating. To figure out invisible internal process of the learner, Key logging during translation process, short interview after translating and behavioral observation were used. For considering behavioral characteristics for internal process, Pause, Deletion, Moving and Mistranslation were chosen. In particular, Pause was chosen to work as criterion when analyzing other behaviors. By analyzing those behaviors, three internal processes were found: (1)Deliberatiing on words or phrases following the pauses, (2)Considering ill-matched words or phrases between source text and target text, (3)Continuous checks on what writers had written down. Deliberations were generally found before the long-term pause. Learners were deliberating what to write on next phrases, due to their scarce knowledge of grammatical collocation of the target language. Considering ill-matched words or phrases between source text and target text shows variety of behaviors such as moving, deletion after the long-term pauses. According to the learners’ interview and researcher’s observation, it was arisen when the learners are fail to find the acceptable expressions in target language. Continuous checks on what learners had written down were generally found after the translation was finished. Entire part of target text was examined in this type of process. Thus, long period of pause was required for reading source text and target text, also deletion and moving was required for correcting mistranslated words or phrases. It infers that learners’ behaviors are combined to suggest certain meanings of internal process. Thus, these behaviors do not suggest solid internal process. With more elaborated analysis, this
This study amid to examine how the translative mode of native language make an effect on Chinese Learners when studying Korean language, expecially on the second person. Due to the culture's difference, it is one of the most difficult part to use the second person expression exactly. so two forms of mistakes were pointed out, which is addition, substitution and form error. Also, based on this, some suggestions were given to improve the ability of Chinese learners on using the second person expression.
교수자는 학습자 모국어의 음운현상들을 제대로 알고 있어야 학습자의 모국어와 학습 목표 언어 사이의 간섭 현상을 파악해서 올바르게 교육 할수 있다. 교수자가 학습자의 모국어와 학습 목표 언어의 차이점에 대해서 교수하지 않는다고 해도 음운현상을 교수하거나 오류를 고쳐줄 때 유용할 것이다. 이러한 견해를 근간으로 하여 본 연구에서는 낱 음절의 발음보다는 음운현상에 대해 관심을 두고자 한다. 이를 위해 중국어, 일본어, 한국어의 음운현상을 살펴보고 그 차이점에서 학습자들의 오류를 예측해보고 학습자들의 실제 한국어 발음을 녹음해서 한국어 음운현상의 오류를 살펴봄으로써 학습자들의 한국어 음운현상 사용에 대한 실태를 점검 할 것이다. 중국어와 일본어를 선택함은 세 언어에 비슷한 음운현상이 존재하기 때문이고, 현재 가장 많은 학습자가 한국어를 배우고 있기에 필요성이나 유용성 입장에서도 그 이유를 말할 수 있으리라 본다.
