2020년 9월, 중국과 바티칸은 2018년에 있었던 잠정합의를 2년 더 연장하기로 의견의 일치를 보았다. 주지하고 있듯, 중국과 바티칸의 관계 정상화를 위한 협상과정에 있어 가장 중요한 핵심 사안은 바로 주교임명과 관련된 것이다. 그런데 중국은 1958년 이래 자선자성(自选自圣)의 원칙 아래 자체적으로 주교를 선출해 왔었고, 최근 에는 ｢종교사무조례｣로 대표되는 종교관련 법률에 근거하여 종교에 대한 통제를 강화해 왔었다. 그리고 중국은 바티칸과의 협상 가능성을 천명한 2005년부터 최근까지 주교선출 관련 법규를 개정하거나 새로이 제정 해오고 있다. 본고는 중국·바티칸 수 교협상의 현안과 쟁점을 살펴본 뒤, 수교협상의 핵심 사안인 주교임명과 관련된 중국의 법률을 살펴보고자 한다. 이는 비공개적으로 진행되었던 중국·바티칸 협상의 성격과 향후 협상의 과정을 이해하는데 도움이 되리라 기대된다.

This study aims to investigate the meaning negotiation process between teachers and students in onJine video conference class. 128 cyber university students participated in the study for 12 weeks. Student survey, recorded video conversation and teachers' weekly comments were analyzed for the study. The research results show that unlike offiine class, the students in video class actively initiated the negotiation of meaning byemploying various negotiation signals. About 64.4% of the negotiation of meaning was initiated by the students. Students used confirmation checks most often, but the types of negotiation signals were varied across the proficiency levels. Teachers used clarification checks more, but utilized their meaning negotiation efforts more as scaffolding to help learners construct their utterances. Teachers also actively utilized text-chat during the video conference to negotiate the meaning and provide the correctional feedback. Both teachers and students used over 1/4 of their conversation for meaning negotiation. In order to elicit more negotiation efforts from the students, teachers need to bring more infonnation gap tasks and diverse topics, and the amount of teacher talk also needs to be controlled. The improvement in students' lead of conversation, turn-taking, andnegotiation efforts over the semester indicate that online video conference class can be an effective tool to promote the students' English speaking fluency.
