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.

In order to implement a dialogue system for Korean language tutoring, this paper aimed to describe a method of constructing a large amount of Korean task-oriented dialogue data using the Wizard-of-OZ method and a pedagogical feedback and evaluation method for Korean language errors made by foreign learners. The procedure for constructing a large amount of Korean task-oriented dialogue data consisted of three steps. The first step was the preparation step for the learner’s prior learning. The second step was related to a large Korean dialogue map constructed by Korean native speakers using the Wizard-of-OZ method. The third step was implementation of a Korean dialogue system based on the dialogue map. In educational feedback and evaluation, functions such as paraphrases, recommendation expressions, educational success rate, and error content evaluation by learner level were proposed. By means of the Wizard-of-OZ method, 3,253 Korean task-oriented dialogue data were established in four domains: restaurant, hotel, tourist attraction, and taxi. The dialogue system for Korean language tutoring is currently being implemented based on Korean taskoriented dialogue data. Ultimately, the task-oriented dialogue system for Korean language tutoring aims at an “augmentation of education” that collaborates with human teachers, not “teacher-less education” that replaces human teachers.

This study provides step-by-step suggestions for expanding the foundation of Korean language education and the systematic teaching and learning of the Korean language in New Northern Policy countries. To this end, a literature review was undertaken to explore the existing knowledge in the field, and surveys and online interviews were conducted with local experts. According to the surveys, the New Northern Policy countries were highly accepting of multilingualism and multiculturalism, currently using the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) to accommodate the global standard education model and seeking to strengthen English education in accordance with the de-Russian trend. Also based on CEFR, achievement standards are systematically presented. Korean language education is divided into curricular and extra-curricular, with the Korean language curriculum further subdivided according to the development of the Korean language curriculum. The extra-curricular stream is mainly conducted in after-school programs. The proposed development phase of the Korean pro-language curriculum should establish a reference system including goals and grades that connects with the CEFR. Moreover, to develop the Korean language curriculum further, it is necessary to establish and analyze the Korean language profiles of Korean learners.

With the rise of the 4th Industrial Revolution, a paradigm shift is being demanded across society, and this change is seen in the rapid increase of learners who want online classes that can be taken relatively freely compared to traditional classes that are constrained by time and space. Cyber university’s learning method using an online platform has the advantage of overcoming the limitations of teaching-learning methods and university education in a limited space, and providing educational opportunities to people who need education anytime, anywhere. However, in cyber universities, issues have also been raised about the stability of the educational system, the quality of educational contents, and the appropriateness of educational services. Thus, in order to maximize the learning effect in cyber universities, a system that supports and manages learning participation activities of learners is required so that not only high-quality contents but also various interactions in the teaching-learning process are activated. In this thesis, based on the author’s own experience in subject development and operation, I would like to examine the effects that the interaction between instructor-tutor-learners through the role of a subject-dedicated tutor and the teaching-learning method using an online platform.

This paper analyses the foreign language curriculum of general high schools in China. The Chinese educational authority announced an experimental version of its language curriculum in 2003, revised it in 2017, and revised it in 2020. In 2003, the foreign language curriculum included only three foreign languages: English, Japanese, and Russian. German, French, and Spanish were added from the 2017 curriculum. The 2017 curriculum consists of three categories: ‘required’, ‘required optional’, and ‘optional’. The required courses meet the requirements for graduation by all students. Students intending to go to college must complete all required optional courses. The six foreign language curriculums equally set four core competencies: language ability, cultural consciousness, thinking ability, and learning ability. In addition, this paper investigated curriculum structure of the six foreign languages, learning vocabulary, and items included in the appendix, and compared the foreign language curriculum in China and Korea. In conclusion, Korea’s next curriculum suggested that achievement standards and evaluation criteria should be more specific in preparation for the high school credit system, and that achievement standards and evaluation criteria should be described so that the curriculum and college entrance can be linked.

본고는 중국의 외국어 수용 방식에 대한 고찰이다. 논의는 수용 방식에 따라 중국어 어휘 에서 부정적인 영향을 미치는 경우와 반대로 중국화를 통해 중국어 어휘로 잘 정착하는 경우를 나누어 다루고 있다. 부정적 기능을 하는 어휘는 일시적으로 어휘의 공백을 채우기 위해 생겨났지만 언중의 호응을 얻지 못해 사멸하는 경우와 여러 가지 변체로 인해 언어생활에 혼란을 일으키는 경우라고 할 수 있다. 중국화를 통해 잘 정착하는 어휘는 대체로 중국의 공식 서사체계인 한자의 본질인 표의 기능의 장점을 최대한 살려 언중에게 오래도록 애용됨으로써 토착화에 성공하는 경우라고 할 수 있다. 이는 비록 중국의 사례에 대한 논의지만 음역어의 남용으로 정확한 맞춤법조차 알기 어려운 우리 언어생활에도 시사하는 바가 있을 것이다.

This study is the process of finding answers to the following questions. Cultural content is needed to study Vietnamese language? Do Vietnamese language learners feel the need for classes using cultural content? Do Vietnamese teachers use cultural contents in class? In order to find out the answer, I conducted a questionnaire survey on Vietnamese students in Chungnam Foreign Language High School, interviewed teachers and analyzed the case examples. As a result of the questionnaires and interviews, it was found that the necessity of cultural contents development in Vietnamese language education is a requirement for both teachers and learners. Based on these results, we developed a case study on cultural education contents for Vietnamese language education. However, the model of teaching Vietnamese language utilizing cultural contents needs to be developed through more diverse academic analysis. Its effectiveness should also be investigated in depth. We will propose this as a future research project.

Die Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) revolutioniert das Leben des Menschen. Bildung und Erziehung müssen sich entsprechend auf die durch den Einsatz der KI bewirkten Veränderungen einstellen. Das betrifft auch den schulischen Fremdsprachenunterricht, dessen ‘Charakter’ und ‘Ziele’ mit Blick auf das Zeitalter der KI herausgearbeitet werden. Zunächst werden die allgemeinen curricularen Vorgaben für den Fremdsprachenunterricht und die in den einzelnen Fremdsprachenfächern in Bezug auf ‘Charakter’ und ‘Ziele’ postulierten Inhalte analysiert. Anschließend wird herausgearbeitet, wie und inwieweit der Mensch in Bezug auf Fremdsprachen von der KI profitieren kann. Die KI kann jedoch den grundlegenden Sinn und Wert des Fremdsprachenlernens nicht ersetzen, nämlich neue Weltansichten kennenzulernen, sein Weltverständnis zu erweitern und auf dieser Basis zur friedlichen und gemeinsamen Entwicklung der Menschheit beizutragen. Daraus ergibt sich, dass im Zeitalter der KI dem humanistisch-pädagogischen Wert des Fremdsprachenunterrichts eine bedeutendere Rolle zukommt, während der pragmatische Wert der Verständigung durch KI ersetzt werden kann. Der Charakter der Fremdsprachenfächer wird sich daher in Zukunft v.a. über die pädagogisch-humanistischen Ziele ‘Persönlichkeitsentwicklung’ und ‘Völkerverständigung’ definieren. Dementsprechend sollten möglichst verschiedene Fremdsprachen angeboten werden, wobei einem tiefen Kulturverständnis mehr Gewicht beigemessen werden sollte als dem flüssigen Sprechen der Fremdsprache.

In this study, a multiliteracy model is proposed that can be applied to foreign language education in the era of artificial intelligence (AI), in which language-related technologies are rapidly developing. Artificial intelligence-based translation and interpretation technologies are lowering the threshold of foreign language use, and speech recognition (SR) technology and text-to-speech (TTS) technology break down the boundary between spoken language and written language. With such Information Communication Technology (ICT) literacy, therefore, foreign language literacy along with first language literacy tends to be integrated into multiliteracy. Besides, as our society has become specialized, the importance of content literacy of each specialized field is emphasized more and more. As a result, in foreign language education, a multiliteracy model is needed with Content-Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) methodology. With introducing a multiliteracy model, in this study, a translation course between first and foreign languages and a content course of book publishing are introduced as samples of the application of the multiliteracy model.

In den Zeiten der Globalisierung und Internationalisierung unserer Lebens- und Arbeitswelt ist interkulturelle Kommunikations- und Handlungskompetenz essentiell Der schulische Deutschunterricht steht im Zuge der Globalisierung vor neuen Herausforderungen. Er muss neben der Ausbildung rein sprachlicher Qualifikationen auch auf den ständig wachsenden Austausch mit anderen Kulturen vorbereiten. Interkulturelles Lernen, das der Entwicklung interkultureller Kompetenz dienen soll, ist daher auch Bestandteil von Lehrplänen. Ziel der vorliegender Arbeit ist es, einen Lehrplan zum Erwerb interkultrueller Kompetenz im schulischen Deutschunterricht zu entwickeln. Für die Entwicklung von dem Lehrplan zum um Erwerb interkultrureller Kompetenz werden zunächst einen Dialogtext im Restaurant aus dem Schulbuch ‘Deutsch 1’ ausgewählt, und im interkulturellen Kontext analysiert. Als Ergebnisse sind im schulischen Deutschunterricht zwei Lehr- und Lernmethoden denkbar, um eine interkulturelle Kommunikation anzuregen. Dazu gehören diskursanalystische Lernmethode und Kulturassimilator.

In Korea, the College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT) was introduced in 1993 as the official national college entrance examination. Over the 22 years since its inception, the CSAT has gone through numerous changes in its policies regarding the test structure, test administration, test writers, item bank, item difficulty, test materials, score reporting, and the use of test scores. The present study reviewed these policies and policy changes regarding the CSAT, with a focus on the English section ofthe test. The study found that while some of the policies were laudable for beneficial effects on students and the society, some other policies had detrimental effects on the quality of the test and for stakeholders including students, teachers, and parents. More active involvement of testing professionals is suggested for the improvement of policymaking processes and the policies themselves.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the theoretical backgroud of a phraseo-didactics in French as Foreign Language and to present concrete ways to develop it in an effective way. The teaching methodology for french phraseolgy is very critical to improve one’s communicative competence among Korean learners. In this regard, this article raised the following 4 issues: 1) To distinguish the type of french phraseology. 2) To examine the status of phraseology in Common European Framework of Reference. 3) To investigate components of phraseology which are divided into three parts: sociocultural component, linguistic component, pragmatic component. 4) To set up some issues for the teaching of french phraseology in Korean context. For an effective teaching, this paper need to more carefully consider the teaching lists, rages, time and various methods of french phraseological expressions.

외국어로서의 한국어 쓰기 교육을 실시함에 있어 학습자들에게 효과적인 텍스트를 제공하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 왜냐하면 그들의 스키마를 계발하고 글에 대한 이해력을 증진시켜 의사소통 능력을 향상시키는 데 효과적인 텍스트는 그 무엇보다 중요하기 때문이다. 이런 점에서 텍스트를 활용한 쓰기 교육 방안을 정립하는 일의 중요성은 매우 커지고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 사전연구의 일환으로 ‘어떤 텍스트들이 학습자들의 쓰기 능률에 영향을 미치는지’ 조사하였다. 본 연구는 향후 한국어 쓰기 교육의 올바른 텍스트 선정 상을 정립하는 데 그 목적이 있으며, 아울러 쓰기 교육을 위한 텍스트를 선정하거나 제작할 때 어떤 요소들이 고려되어야 하는지 그 방향을 제시하는 데에도 그 목적이 있다. 이 같은 연구는 쓰기 자료로서 텍스트가 갖는 중요성을 환기시킴은 물론 학습자들의 스키마를 계발하는 데 필요한 ‘교육용 텍스트’ 개발에 참고가 될 것이다.

본 논문에서는 Bachman과 Palmer(1996)에서 제안한 언어 시험의 유용성을 판단하는 기준인 타당도, 신뢰도, 진정성, 영향력, 실용성에 대해 각 개념의 의미를 소개하고 해당 기준으로 판단해 본 수능의 특징을 논하였다. 수능은 읽기 문항에서는 타당도가 높지만 듣기는 입력 자료의 속도가 느리다는 점에서 타당도가 높지 않다. 또한 표현 기능인 말하기와 쓰기를 선택형 문항을 통해 간접적으로 측정하기 때문에 타당도에 치명적인 약점이 있다. 신뢰도 면에서 수능은 막대한 인력과 비용을 들여 점수에 부당하게 영향을 줄 수 있는 요소들을 차단하기 위해 최선을 다한 결과 매우 높은 신뢰도를 지닌 시험이다. 수능의 진정성은 읽기 문항에서는 상당히 우수한 편이지만 듣기에서는 원어민들의 실제 구어 사용의 특징을 제거한 녹음 자료를 사용하기 때문에 좋지 않은 편이다. 또한, 간접 측정 방식의 말하기와 쓰기 문항은 실제 상황에서 말하기나 쓰기 활동과 공통점이 거의 없기 때문에 진정성에 대한 치명적인 약점이 된다. 수능은 영향력이 너무 커서 다른 모든 기준을 압도해 버릴만한 주요 기준이다. 실용성 면에서 수능은 막대한 비용이 드는 시험이지만 정부에서 그 영향력을 인지하고 막대한 비용을 투자하기 때문에 필요한 자원보다 사용 가능한 자원이 더 큰 시험이다. 요약하면, 결국 수능은 타당도나 진정성에서는 그리 우수하지 않지만 시험의 영향력이 너무 큰 탓에 막대한 노력과 비용이 집중되어 신뢰도와 실용성은 상당히 높은 편이다.
