Purpose: This study aims to examine the effect of 'debate education using generative artificial intelligence (AI)' on 'debate efficacy' targeting elementary school students in the 5th and 6th grades. Through this, we aim to provide valuable information on debate classes using generative AI to field teachers and researchers in debate-related studies. This study aimed to provide students with a positive communication experience by allowing them to articulate their arguments, engage with peers, and persuade others. Additionally, it sought to serve as a foundation for fostering students' collaborative communication skills and digital language literacy. Furthermore, in alignment with the introduction of the “Media” domain in the 2022 Revised Korean Language Education Curriculum, this study aimed to offer pedagogical implications for teachers regarding debate education using generative AI. Lastly, it sought to expand the scope of Korean language education by preparing students to actively adapt to the rapidly evolving communication environment of the future society. Methods: To achieve this, a triangulation study combining quantitative and qualitative research methods was conducted. The quantitative research compared and analyzed the pre-post debate self-efficacy of the participants, while the qualitative research explored the effects of debate classes using generative AI by analyzing portfolios generated by the participants. Descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used to analyze quantitative data. As some of the response data from the participants did not satisfy the assumption of normality, the pre-and post-test changes in debate efficacy among the participants were analyzed using a nonparametric Wilcoxon signed- rank test (p<.05). The reliability of this study was verified through Cronbach’s ⍺ value. Portfolio analysis was employed for the qualitative data analysis. Results: The “Debate Self-Efficacy” of the participants was measured pre- and post-intervention using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The results showed a significant improvement in all subcomponents of debate self-efficacy, including Emotional Self-Efficacy, Cognitive Self-Efficacy, and Social Self-Efficacy. In particular, significant improvements were observed in the components of Emotional Self-Efficacy, namely ‘expectation,’ ‘persistence,’ and ‘emotion regulation.’ Furthermore, the analysis of portfolios composed of activity sheets developed for this study revealed that engaging in debate activities using Generative AI positively enhanced the debate self-efficacy of the participants. Conclusion: This study demonstrates through action research and empirical analysis that Korean language debate classes utilizing generative AI are effective in enhancing students' debate efficacy. This study hopes to serve as a stepping stone for fostering Inclusivity and enhancing Communication Competence among learners, thereby contributing to the strengthening of their Debate Self-Efficacy. Furthermore, it is expected that this research will contribute to the activation of Debate Education Using Generative AI in school.

This study analyzed inductive and deductive instructional approaches for teaching grammar within a Presentation-Practice-Production grammar lesson. The participants of this study included 119 Korean university students enrolled in an English as a foreign language class, with approximately half receiving deductive instruction and the other half receiving inductive grammar instruction. The analysis involved comparing learning gains as well as student perceptions of the two approaches via Mann Whitney U tests. The results showed no statistical difference in terms of the immediate or delayed learning gains for each grammatical topic, nor when all grammatical topics were aggregated. However, the analysis of student perceptions indicated that students found inductive instruction to be moderately more effective, interesting, and easier than deductive instruction. The study concludes with a discussion of the implications of these findings related to instructional practices in foreign language classes that utilize the Presentation- Practice-Production model as well as suggestions for future research concerning deductive and inductive instructional approaches.

이 연구의 목적은 일본 대학 한국어 교수자의 코로나 전·중·후 수업 경험을 비교함으로써 코로나 팬데 믹이 한국어 수업에 어떤 영향을 주었으며 한국어 교수자들이 어떤 능력을 갖추게 되었는지를 확인하는 것이다. 이를 위해 이 연구에서는 2023년 5월부터 7월까지 일본 대학의 한국어 교·강사 16명을 대상으로 ‘반구조화된 인터뷰’를 실시했다. 비대면 수업 시기에 다수의 일본 대학은 화상회의 프로그램을 활용하여 실시간 강의를 제공하거나 강의 동영상을 올려서 수업을 한 것으로 확인되었다. 일본의 한국어 교수자들은 일차적으로 학교의 정책과 방침에 따라 비대면 수업을 운영하되, 학교의 시스템과 학습자의 학습 환경 등을 고려하여 수업 방식을 결정했다. 구체적으로는 실물 화이트보드를 카메라로 찍어 보여주거나, 파워포 인트(PPT) 자료를 화면 공유로 제시하거나, 태블릿과 전자펜을 사용하는 등 다양한 시도를 한 것을 볼 수 있었다. 또한 학생 학습 지원을 위해서 과제를 더 많이 활용하고, 퀴즐렛 등을 수업에 도입하기도 했으며, 영상 자료를 수업 전이나 후에 제공하는 노력을 했다. 이런 노력은 재일 한국어 교수자의 매체 활용 역량을 향상 시킨 것으로 보인다. 이는 교육 발전에 중요한 동량이 될 것이므로 앞으로 이를 유지·발 전·조정하기 위한 방안을 모색할 필요가 있겠다.

Nearpod, an online teaching cloud-based platform, offers great potential to generate pedagogical tasks and yield better results in teaching communication skills. This study thus examined the effects of Nearpod-based English-speaking classes. To this end, one-on-one speaking tests were conducted twice in a semester, and a questionnaire was administered to assess university students’ perceptions of the usefulness of Nearpod in offline classroom. The participants comprised 39 university students who took a mandatory English class titled Communication in English. The paired samples t-test results indicated that the students’ overall speaking performance has improved over time. Specifically, compared to the high-level students, the low-level students showed a significant increase in speaking performance. The questionnaire analysis demonstrated that most students were satisfied with Nearpod-based English speaking classes because of enhanced interest, active participation in class, and increased interaction with class content and peers. The pedagogical implications are suggested and the limitations of the study are further discussed.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, online education has emerged as an important research field to match its growing necessity. In this vein, this research explores one of the challenges facing online teaching of the Arabic language to Korean students at the university level based on the practical experience of online teaching in the academic year of 2020 while focusing on the role of students. The main goal of this research is to give some answers to its main question, which is: How is it possible to activate the role of students in the online classes of the Arabic language? The study suggests some online activities through which the role of students in online classes can be activated. An online survey questionnaire was provided to test the influence of some of those activities and to explore the students’ feedback. Additionally, interviews were conducted with some students to gain further understanding of their opinions about those activities. The results of the study showed positive feedback from the students towards those activities and provided some advantages of using those online activities for adding enjoyment to the students’ assignments. It is also recommended that teachers include more innovative online activities which match their students’ needs.

본 논문은 학부 외국인 유학생을 위한 한국 한자어 교육 방안을 원격 수업 설계 및 운영 사례를 중심으로 살펴보았다. 대학에서 원격 수업의 중요성과 비중이 갑작스레 커진 상황에서, 대면 수업에 준하는 수업 효율을 유지할 수 있는 방안을 찾는 일은 중요한 과제 가운데 하나라고 할 수 있다. 이 과정에서 ‘외국인 유학생 대상 한자(漢字) 수업’이라는 변수를 고려하여 실제 대학 강의 현장에서 수업 설계와 운영에 반영하고자 하였다. 원격 수업은 그 특성상 대면 수업이 가지는 현장성·동시성·양방향성·상호교감성을 완벽하게 재현해내기는 어렵다. 하지만 주어진 환경 속에서 대면 수업의 효율을 유지하고 원격 수업의 장점을 극대화하기 위한 노력이 필요하다는 점을 언급하였다. 코로나 19 이후 빠르게 변화하고 있는 강의 환경을 고려할 때, 본 연구를 하나의 사례로 삼아 후속 논의가 지속되기를 기대한다.

This study is about meta-language used for teaching the Korean language in Serbia, where it is not a native language. This study examined meta-language for teaching preferred by Korean language learners of Serbia and explored efficient methods of meta-language use for teaching. First, meta-language and meta-language for teaching were discussed, and meta-language for Korean language teaching was defined. After setting up the research question and hypothesis, a survey was conducted on Korean language learners at the University of Niš in Serbia to determine their preferred meta-language for teaching. According to the survey, many learners wanted to take classes in ‘Korean-Serbian languages.’ Beginner and intermediate learners of vocabulary, grammar, and conversation preferred ‘Korean-Serbian’ meta-language for teaching, and advanced learners preferred ‘Korean’ meta-language for teaching. Based on such grounds and existing theories, this paper proposed a usage model of meta-language for teaching in beginner, intermediate, and advanced Korean language classes in Serbia and presented the necessity for fostering professional Korean language instructors overseas.

The purpose of this study is to investigate university students’ perceptions on their English conversation classes taught by native English speakers. Its focus is on finding out how well the students understand and how actively they participate in class, what causes difficulty in their understanding or participation in class, and whether their class helps them in terms of affective aspects and English skills. A survey was conducted on a total of 465 university students in Korea, and the collected data were analyzed to compute basic descriptive and inferential statistics. Some of the important findings are 1) over 50% of the students understand their classes well; 2) a little over 30% actively participate in class; 3) about 30~50% of the students perceive their class help them affectively; and 4) about 50% of the students perceive their class help them improve their English skills in general. These results are discussed along with other findings related to the causes of the difficulties that the students experienced. Suggestions are provided on the basis of the results and their implications.

This study critically examines the factors contributing to verbal participation and the achievement of desired learning outcomes in English medium instruction (EMI) classes in a Korean higher education institution. This case study uses mixed research methods including surveys, focus group interviews and peer observations of students and professors of selected EMI classes. This paper has highlighted several factors which influence active verbal participation and the achievement of desired learning outcomes in EMI classes. The research provides a rich understanding of how differences in teaching styles and learning activities significantly affect levels of verbal participation in EMI classes. The findings suggest that in order to achieve desired EMI learning outcomes, it is necessary to examine all of the interconnected elements within the education system, including students, professors, the teaching context, as well as the institutional systems at national and international levels. This research has raised a number of challenges and criticisms concerning EMI courses including the effectiveness of learning of subject content via a foreign language.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference of teachers' interaction with their students when teaching science in New York (NY) and in Korea. As part of the 2011 Korean International Teacher Fellows (KITF), supported by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MEST) and the National Institute for International Education Development (NIIED), Korean science teachers observed, for six months, New York's science classes in terms of how teachers interact with their students and how students learn science during science instruction. The participants were 10 science teachers in five middle and high schools that taught Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Earth Science, and Environment Science in NY. The National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS, 2003) and Instruction as Interaction (Cohen et al., 2003) were used as an instrument to identify each teacher's teaching and classroom interaction. Several characteristics of science classes in NY were revealed, which are different from Korean science classes. First, science teachers in NY dominantly put more focus on their subject of teaching during science interaction while, Korean science teachers not only teach science but also do counseling to students as a homeroom teacher. Second, science teachers in NY acknowledged the students' individuality and have positive experiences of professional development supported by their school and district more than Korean science teachers do. Third, science teachers in NY sometimes showed limited knowledge about the concepts of science and lack of collaboration with other science teachers. This characteristics may prevent the school from strengthening its subject program and keeping equity across the grade levels and courses.

최근 들어 대학교육에서 교양교육의 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 이에 따라 교양교육 커리큘럼 안에 무용분야를 효과적으로 포용하고자 하는 관심이 많아지고 있다. 하지만 많은 연구들은 교 양무용의 효과를 제시한 반면 그 교육 전략에 대한 연구는 드문 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 한국 대학의 교양교육 현황을 토대로 변화하는 문화 속에서 무용 연구가 교양교육에 효과적으로 통 합시킬 수 있는 가능성과 그 지도 전략을 제시하는데 그 목적을 둔다. 기존 교양무용에 대한 연 구들을 토대로 그 효과를 확인하고 그 효과를 증대시키기 위한 지도방안을 도출하고자 하였다. 결과적으로 우리나라 교양무용교육은 적절한 시설과 전공교육과는 구분되는 일반인들에게 초점 을 맞춘 교육으로 실기 수업과 이론수업을 적절히 혼용하고 각기 다른 지도법을 적용하여 학생 들로 하여금 무용에 대한 일반적인 관심과 더불어 미래 무용공연에 관객으로서 참여할 수 있도 록 유도할 수 있기를 바라는 바이다.

ln this case study, we have focused on the disempowerrnent of a Korean English teacher (KET) in English-only classrooms. Six English as a foreign language (EFL) classrooms in a Korean high school were observed and analyzed by using interpretive discourse analysis. Out of the six classes, three representative classrl。이ns were both video- and audio - ta많d. The results show that the English-only classes co띠d weaken the KETs’ power via three mechanisms: (a) ca!ling the KETs’ last name for chor외 greetings at the beginning of the class, (b) students’ group solidarity and 야er pressure between classmates, and (c) the students' excessively collaborative approach to 야er assistance. It is argued that the exclusive Engush-oruy instruction disempowers 비e KETs’ status and dismantles their vocational identity. ln order to remedy the current situation, within a scaffolding suppαted by the eclectic use of first language where necessary for effective class management, KETs are empowered and overcome constraints imposed by the limited L2 oral competence of some non-native English teachers.

본 연구는 실시간 온라인으로 진행되는 학부 교양 초급 한국 어 수업에서 강의식 수업과 플립 러닝식 수업을 실시하고 각 수업 방 식에 대한 학습자 인식 및 수업 효율성을 살펴보는 데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 ZOOM에서 8주간 각 수업 방식을 적용한 한국어 수업을 진행하고 사후 설문 조사를 실시하였다. 그 결과 학습자들은 강의식 수업보다는 플립 러닝식 수업에 긍정적인 반응을 보였으며, 강의식 수 업에서는 ‘어휘 및 문법’ 영역, 플립 러닝식 수업에서는 ‘듣기, 읽기, 쓰 기, 말하기’ 영역의 수업 효율성이 높게 나타났다. 이에 실시간 온라인 으로 진행되는 초급 한국어 수업의 효율을 높이기 위해서는 수업 환 경과 언어 영역의 특성을 고려한 혼합된 수업 방식이 필요할 것이다.
