This study explores the integration of ChatGPT, OpenAI’s conversational AI, into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms at Korean universities, focusing on student interactions and language learning strategy preferences. It categorises interactions using the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) and Strategic Self-Regulation (S2R) frameworks to evaluate the pedagogical effectiveness of AIassisted learning. Ninety-nine university students participated in training sessions with ChatGPT prompts tailored to different learning strategies. Data were collected through surveys, chat transcripts, and qualitative feedback. Results indicate frequent student interactions with ChatGPT, averaging 4.49 strategies in initial training chats. Compensatory strategies like error correction and adaptive difficulty received high ratings, while social strategies were rated lowest. Metacognitive strategies, especially planning and summarising, were also well-received. The study concludes that ChatGPT supports diverse learning strategies, enhancing linguistic competence and promoting self-regulated learning. However, limitations such as AI accuracy and authenticity issues highlight the need for continued human interaction in language education.

This study investigated speaking anxiety among advanced Korean language learners in Korean Language Institution classrooms, and the strategies they used to overcome it. The study employed qualitative methodology using online interviews for data collection. The sampling technique involved purposive sampling by selecting 13 Korean learners who had completed an advanced Korean course at TOPIK Levels 5 or 6, with Level 6 being the highest. The interview questions addressed various aspects, including comparisons of speaking skills, anxiety in Korean classrooms, fear of making mistakes, concerns about classmates’ reactions, and anxiety induced by teachers. Thematic analysis was performed by generating initial codes, grouping related codes to uncover potential themes, and highlighting recurring patterns in the participants’ responses. The results revealed three factors that contribute to speaking anxiety: personal reasons, teachers’ classroom approaches, and teaching methods. Advanced learners manage anxiety through three coping strategies: preparation, positive thinking, and seeking support from peers. The study concludes with discussions on the pedagogical implications, limitations, and recommendations for future research in advanced Korean language learning classrooms.

세계 각국은 온실가스 배출을 줄이기 위하여 활발한 노력을 하고 있다. 한국도 노후화된 석탄발전을 폐지하고 LNG 발전으로 전환하는 정책을 추진하고 있다. 그러나, 한국은 가스터빈 제작 기술이 국산화되지 않아서 해외 제작사로부터 전량 수입하여 설치하고 있다. 따라서, 본 논고에서는 가스터빈 발전산업에 대한 국내·외 환경을 살펴보고, 이를 기반으로 PEST-SWOT-AHP 방법론을 적용하여 한국형 가스터빈 기술개발 및 보급 확대 추진전략을 제안하였다. 연구결과, 한국형 가스터빈 기술개발과 보급 확대 전략은 1) 가스터빈 기술개발 및 사업화 촉진을 위한 발전공기업의 역할 강화, 2) 온실가스 감축을 위한 LNG 발전 비중 확대, 3) 정부의 적극적인 가스터빈 산업 생태계 조성 노력, 4) LNG 발전소 건설에 대한 국민 공감대 형성 등으로 요약할 수 있다.

This study investigated the effects of multisensory memory strategies of pairing visual and aural learning strategies of aural lexical advance organizers (LAO) and read-alouds on 146 Korean high school students learning the meaning and pronunciation of 18 unfamiliar English words. In this quasi-experimental design, the control group learned the words on a single mode of written LAO and silent reading as opposed to two treatment groups of aural LAO and silent reading, and of aural LAO and read-alouds, respectively. The effects were tested three times via pre-, post-(immediately after learning), and delayed (30 days later) tests. The immediate and long-term effects were examined by detecting the differences across the three groups in post- and delayed-tests by one-way ANOVA, and the retention of effects was examined by paired t-tests in each group across the three tests. The results indicated that pairing aural LAO and read-aloud strategies was most effective in learning and retention of both vocabulary meaning and pronunciation.

The (Hanilseonman) New Dictionary is a multilingual dictionary of Chinese characters marked in multiple characters. It records the pronunciation and interpretation of Korean, Japanese, Northern Mandarin and Manchurian language corresponding to Chinese characters. There are few Chinese-Korean bilingual dictionaries in modern Korea, and the (Hanilseonman) New Dictionary, which records many Chinese words, is evaluated as the prototype of Chinese-Korean dictionaries. In this study, we examine the Chinese and Korean meanings of the ‘火部’ Chinese monosyllabic cooking verbs in the (Hanilseonman) New Dictionary. We then analyze their meanings, summarize their meaning-positions and classify the semantic fields. Furthermore, the accuracy of their Chinese and Korean interpretations in the (Hanilseonman) New Dictionary is examined, and the prominent interpretation methods and characteristics of the (Hanilseonman) New Dictionary are investigated. This study examines the influence of Modern Times food culture and language, and also points out the problems of Modern Times Chinese-Korean bilingual dictionaries and the direction of future dictionary compilation. This paper discussed the applicability of modern and contemporary Chinese-Korean dictionary definitions, examine the interpretation strategies of modern and contemporary Chinese-Korean dictionaries, summarize their similarities and differences. This paper also discusses the applicability of modern and contemporary Chinese-Korean dictionaries from the perspective of language learners. This study has significance for researchers on the historical development of Chinese-Korean dictionary compilation.

This study examined the feasibility of exporting dairy products from Korea to Vietnam by identifying characteristics of its dairy product market based on results from the analysis of its dairy product market, and surveys on consumers, wholesalers, and retailers. The results from surveys provide characteristics of Vietnam’s dairy product market, the propensity to consume Korean dairy products, and the feasibility of the Korean dairy product exports market. As rapid economic growth and changes in preference result in an expansion of import market in Vietnam, Vietnam’s dairy product market is highly attractive to Korean dairy products. Vietnamese consumers have high confidence in Korean dairy products and are willing to pay a high price for them. Besides, over 200 thousand Koreans are living in Vietnam. This is favorable to Korean dairy products exports. But the success of the Korean dairy products in Vietnam’s dairy product market also depends upon systematic disease controls, the establishment of its brand image, effective quality and sanitation/safety management, and government support. Notably, the economic effects of Korean dairy products exports to Vietnam are 68.7 billion won for a production inducement effect and 297 persons for an employment inducement effect.

우리나라 난온대 도서지역을 광범위하게 조사해 TWINSPAN분석을 통해 식생을 유형화한 후에 유형별 입지환경과 군집구조 특성을 밝혔다. 이를 바탕으로 식생유형별 복원전략을 도출하여 난온대림 복원계획의 방향성을 제시하고자 했다. 식생유형은 명료하게 8개로 나뉘었는데 군락Ⅰ∼Ⅳ는 후박나무, 구실잣밤나무 등이 우점한 양호한 상록활엽수림 이었다. 반면, 군락Ⅴ∼Ⅷ은 곰솔림과 낙엽활엽수림, 인공조림지로 난온대 지역의 퇴행천이 식생이었다. DCA분석 결과로 도출된 환경요인은 해발고(최한월 평균기온)와 해안선에서 거리(내염성)였다. 2가지 환경요인에 따라 후박나무 림, 구실잣밤나무림, 가시나무류림 유형으로 난온대림 분포패턴이 명료해졌다. 3가지 식생유형을 복원대상지의 입지환 경을 고려해 복원목표 식생으로 적용하는 것이 합리적이다. 군락Ⅴ∼Ⅷ에는 곰솔, 낙엽활엽수 등이 수관층을 형성했는 데 종자 확장력이 강한 상록활엽수종이 하층에 빈번하게 출현해, 상록활엽수림으로 식생천이 가능성이 컸다. 도서지역 에 산림이 사라진 황폐지는 협소하지만, 곰솔림과 낙엽활엽수림 등의 퇴행천이된 식생이 대면적을 이룬다. 이곳을 상록활엽수림으로 갱신하는 복원전략이 탄소중립 실현과 생물다양성 증진 측면에서 효과성이 더 클 수 있다.

North Korea has actively participated in the international community related to environmental agreements. It has proposed various environmental policies internally since the Kim Jong-un regime. In particular, it emphasizes activities related to climate change response, the Sustainable Development Goals, and the conservation of ecosystems including forests and wetlands. In this study, a new security cooperation plan was proposed with an understanding of the climate crisis and environmental regime as a starting point. To this end, trends and recent activities for climate-environment cooperation in the international community and on the Korean Peninsula were analyzed. In addition, North Korea’s conditions for cooperation on the Korean Peninsula, technology demand, and the projected future environment of the Korean Peninsula were dealt with. Ultimately, through advice of experts, we were able to discover cooperation agendas by sector and propose short-term and long-term environmental cooperation strategies for the Korean Peninsula based on them. In this study, conditions and directions for cooperation in fields of climate technology, biological resources, air/weather, water environment, biodiversity, renewable energy, bioenergy, and so on were considered comprehensively. Among 21 cooperation agendas discovered in this study, energy showed the largest number of areas. Renewable energy, forest resources, and environmental and meteorological information stood out as agendas that could be cooperated in the short term. As representative initiatives, joint promotion of ‘renewable energy’ that could contribute to North Korea’s energy demand and carbon neutrality and ‘forest cooperation’ that could be recognized as a source of disaster reduction and greenhouse gas sinks were suggested.

This study analyzed the translation strategies of Korean culture-specific items displayed on the Korea.net Arabic website, the government’s representative overseas PR media. 25 articles with a large number of culture-specific items were selected and analyzed among 74 articles published in the Culture section of the Korea.net Arabic website for a total of 7 months from August 2020 to February 2021. The themes of the selected 25 cultural articles were the contents of related cultural events according to the period, such as Chuseok and New Year’s Day, Kimchi-making Season, Lotus Lantern Festival, and Hangeul Day. Culture-specific items were classified into proper nouns such as country, administrative districts, place name, and building name, and other cultural elements such as food, clothing, holidays, according to the classification method of Lee Geun-hee(2008). As expected, a number of strategies to convey meaning along with transliteration appeared as part of an effort to inform Arab readers of Korean culture-specific items. However, it found the need to establish norms or unified standards for culture-specific items translation strategies, especially in transliteration.

코로나19 팬데믹으로 인한 실업·소득급감·소득단절의 고통이 불평등하게 배분되고 있다. 이대로라면 ‘위기가 불평등을 키운다’는 공식이 다시 한 번 입증되는 나쁜 선례가 생겨날 것이다. 이를 막는 방법은 사회보호 시스템(social protection system)이 적시에 제대로 작동하는 것이다. 그런데 한국의 경우 그게 원활치 못한 상황이다. 위기 시 가장 중요하게 작동해야 할 고용안전망과 소득지원체계는 불비하고, 위기 시 상식처럼 통용되는 적극적 재정정책(확장 재정정책)은 재정적 보수주의에 발이 묶여 제대로 가동되지 못하고 있다. 사회경제적 차원에서만 보자면 한국의 위기관리 및 위기 대응 능력은 좋은 점수를 받기 어려운 실정이다. 따라서 이 논문은 이런 한국의 사회보호 시스템을 어떻게 진화시킬 수 있을지 그 개혁 전략을 논의하는 데 초점이 있다. 특히 복지정치적 관점에서 어떤 기획이 필요한지 그 구체적인 방안들(프로젝트)을 제안하고자 한다. 또한, 최근 단행된 한국 사 회보호 시스템의 보강 조치들(예컨대 전국민 고용보험, 국민취업지원제도)을 톺아보고, 향후 어떤 점들이 보완되어야 하는지를 논의하고자 한다. 이 논문은 코로나19를 계기로 한국의 사회보호 시스템이 그 본연의 기능―‘위기조절기제’이자 ‘사회적 방파제’―을 제대로 수행할 수 있도록 가이드 하는 게 최종 목표이다.

This study compares the results of a survey of vocabulary learning strategy (VLS) use and perceived helpfulness by Korean university students to the taxonomy of VLS first presented by Schmitt. VLS suggested by previous research by the author and changes in technology since the original taxonomy was compiled were added to Schmitt’s list. The survey was administered online to 135 university students in Korea, primarily of Korean nationality. The results show that reported VLS use is up across the board, and the perceived helpfulness of the majority of VLS is up as well. Technological VLS are widely used for meaning discovery, but used moderately for vocabulary consolidation. Trends in the results are discussed, which suggest that learners rely on a range of VLS rather than a few core VLS. Technological VLS are common among Korean university students, though most still prefer traditional methods. Ramifications for vocabulary teaching and strategy instruction are also discussed, as well as suggestions for further research.

다문화 사회에 접어든 한국의 시대적 상황은 한국교회가 교회의 규모와 상관없이 이주민 복음화에 대한 구체적 접근을 해야 할 필요성을 시사해 준다. 본 논문은 지금까지 진행되어온 한국교회의 다문화 목회 유형을 ‘개척, 병행, 전환, 전문’의 네 가지 유형으로 구분, 분석하여 효과적인 다문화 목회 전략을 제시했다. 다문화 목회를 올바로 준비하 기 위해서는 먼저 한국교회의 목회자부터 이주민의 삶과 문화를 이해하 고 포용할 수 있는 ‘문화적 역량’(cultural competence)을 향상해 나가야 한다. 다문화 목회는 사역 대상별 목회전략을 구체화해 나가는 것이 중요하다. 결혼이민자와 자녀, 북한이탈주민을 포함하는 정주자 에 대해서는 ‘사회통합 방향’으로 사역을 진행해 나가야 하며, 이주노동 자와 유학생이 포함된 비정주자에 대해서는 ‘역파송 전략’으로 접근하 는 것이 효과적이다. 본 연구의 제시점을 바탕으로 한국교회가 성육신 의 복음을 기반으로 하는 환대의 공동체, 배제와 배타가 아닌 화해와 포용의 복음공동체가 되어 이주민 복음화의 산실이 되기를 기대한다.

The purpose of this study is to analyze how grammatical patterns of command in using hedge strategies function based on the principle of relative status in the Korean language. In order to accomplish the purpose, types of command in using hedge strategies are classified. The results showed that grammatical patterns of command are functioned to save the listener’s face from a listener’s viewpoint, and to strengthen details of propositions used from a proponent’s viewpoint. Also, from a speaker’s viewpoint, they are functioned to reduce the burden of command acts, and to agree with others implicitly or to follow his or her role demanded in the conversation. It also indicated that specific patterns are selected depending on language users, and context factors such as listeners’ reactions, hierarchical relations among listeners and speakers, their closeness to each other, location and formality of context, and publicity of their topics. Based on the findings, a pedagogical implication is suggested to provide language users’ multi-faceted competence in Korean.

In order to inform foreign language education practices that can empower students to properly retrieve and utilize information in today’s society, research on the nature of reading that takes place on the Internet—referred to as online research and comprehension—is of paramount importance. As an initial step, this study investigated the strategies employed by six Korean tertiary-level learners of English that engaged in a second language online research and comprehension (L2 ORC) task. To this end, screen recordings of L2 ORC sessions and verbal data from stimulated recall interviews were triangulated in order to identify and categorize strategy use behind L2 ORC. The results revealed that a wide variety of strategies for constructing a coherent reading path as well as comprehending single and multiple digital texts contributed to successful L2 ORC. These findings demonstrate that the current conception of L2 reading needs to be expanded to encompass the novel challenges posed by the Internet.

This research aims to explore whether guided visual artwork discussions called Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) using picture book images can benefit and enhance Korean EFL secondary students’ L2 writing. Incorporating content analysis, this research examines how carefully guided artwork discussions can enhance visual understanding, critical thinking skills and interpretive L2 writing skills. The L2 writing samples of the focal students revealed that they were able to think based on visual clues. The discussions were led by the teacher who pointed out significant visual elements and allowed time for the students to explore diverse ideas. The focal students were able to piece together the jigsaw of the images and articulate their thoughts in English, during which time they learned to take risks and to make mistakes in using a foreign language. Their critical comments and improved L2 writing suggest how critical/aesthetic thinking skills can be developed through continued visual practices in a secondary EFL setting.

본 연구에서는 serM 모형에 한류의 SWOT분석―한류의 강점(Strength)과 약점(Weakness), 기회 (Opportunity)와 위협(Threat) 요인을 분석―을 결합하여 serM-SWOT 매트릭스 분석을 실시하였다. 이 를 통해 한류의 형성과 발전, 현황을 분석하고, 한류의 성장요인과 경쟁력 원천이 무엇인지 분석하였다. 더불어 한류의 발전 기회와 활성화 방안도 분석하였다. 본 연구결과, 한류가 20여 년간 지속적인 성장 을 거듭할 수 있었던 이유는 대략 다섯 가지 정도였다; 국제적 마인드와 전문성을 갖춘 프로듀서 및 아 이돌, 동서양 고유의 특징을 고루 갖춘 콘텐츠, 한국정부의 정책적인 할류 육성, 대외 수요의 급증, 디지 털시대에의 조응 등. 한편, 한류의 경쟁력은 한국이 미국, 중국, 일본 등지의 해외 문화를 자신의 것으로 승화･발전시킨 것에서 비롯되었다고 할 수 있다. 즉 타국 문화의 수용을 넘어 한국 특유의 문화산업으 로 발전시켰기에 한류의 강한 경쟁력이 형성될 수 있었던 것이다. 그런 점에서 한류의 지속적인 성장과 발전을 위해서는 이 같은 한류의 강점이 더욱 강화되어야 할 것으로 보인다.

This manuscript describes the relationship between climate change and forest growth, forest species, carbon stocks, and tree mortality. 1) In the aspect of forest growth, the growth of major coniferous species, including Pinus densiflora, had a negative correlation with temperature. On the other hand, major deciduous oak species, including Quercus variabilis and Quercus mongolica, had a positive correlation with temperature. 2) When considered in the aspect of the forest species distribution, various models commonly showed a decrease in the distribution of coniferous species and an increase in oak species due to climate change in the medium to long term. 3) From the carbon stock perspective, there was a difference in the estimation according to the status of forest management. Most of Korean forests will mature to become over-matured forest after year 2030 and are estimated to produce approximately 410 million ton forest biomass until 2090 with the current cutting regulations for sustainable forest management announced by the Korean Forest Service. 4) In the forest mortality, the mortality rate of the major coniferous species showed a clear tendency to increase higher temperatures while it decreased for the oak species with no verification of statistical significance. Moreover, the mortality of the subalpine coniferous species was projected to progress rapidly. considering the overall impacts described above, there should be a management strategy for coniferous species that are relatively vulnerable to climate change. Moreover, a sustainable forest plan in the aspect of ecosystem services, carbon sequestration and storage, which is linked to global issues such as Sustainable Development Goals, ecosystem services and negative emission.

이 글은 지속적인 탈북자문제와 북한인권개선 방안에 관한 것이다. 탈북 자는 1990년대 후반부터 지속적으로 한국행 입국을 해왔다. 북한주민의 탈북배경은 1990년대 중반까지는 북한 자체 ‘고난의 행군시기’의 경제적 동기가 가장 컸다. 하지만 이러한 탈북동기는 2000년대를 거치면서 기획 탈북, 가족단위의 집단탈북, 자신의 미래를 위한 탈북 등의 형태 등으로 바뀌어왔다. 탈북자들은 탈북 후 한국입국 전까지 중국과 제3국에서 불법 체류자 신분으로 인권사각지대에서 엄청난 인권침해를 당하고 있다. 그동안 한국이 탈북자문제에 대해 정부와 민간부문에서 꾸준한 노력을 해 왔 음에도, 탈북자문제와 인권문제에 대해 정부와 민간부문에서 지속적인 공 동의 역할은 더 절실하다. 정부는 2016년 3월 국회에서 북한인권법 통과 로 이 법안에 따라 북한인권문제를 제도적 절차에 따라 탈북문제를 인간의 보편적 가치와 민족문제로 인식하고 국내외적으로도 공동협력해 나가는 다각적인 노력을 기울여야 한다.

The study discussed advanced-level Korean high school EFL learners’ demotivation and remotivation strategies in English learning. Demotivation refers to specific external forces that reduce or harm motivation; remotivation is the process of recovering the reduced motivation. Although both are common in L2 learning, only a few studies address this issue. Using the survey data of 130 participants, the study identified eight demotivating factors through factor analysis. The first factor, negative attitude toward English, indicates that even high school students felt demotivated because of the sheer difficulty of studying English. Descriptive statistics revealed that a negative attitude toward the English-speaking community was not a strong demotivator, which indicated that students possessed Machiavellian motivation. Correlation and regression analysis suggested that no demotivator had a significant negative relationship with English scores; rather, the ways students perceived the demotivators were more important. Eight remotivation strategies were identified; among those, “Keep thinking about the social importance of English” was the most often mentioned one. These results suggested the need for further qualitative, systemic research on remotivators and for training programs for practicing remotivation strategies.
