“Action-oriented Approach (AA)” as a new teaching method has taken an important role in teaching and learning of French Education during past 10 years. However, even though the new teaching method is very welcome for educators, now it is the time that we have to consider whether the key principle and fundamental notion of this approach is suitable for our language education environments and is theoretically appropriate for education. For that, it is necessary that we have to carefully examine this “Action-oriented Approach” from two points of views. First of all, from the angle of foreign language education, we need to verify whether this new approach could be appropriately applied in teaching and learning of Korean foreign language education or not. Secondly, from a societal perspective, we need to examine how this method, considering language education as everyday life itself, can handle some critical perspectives in the point of “status in quo” of “AA”. It has been criticized that language education as everyday life itself can make learners in everyday life to unconsciously acquire maintaining the ‘status quo’ during actions such as “educational inequality”. It is expected that this kind of examination will suggest us an improved way of “AA” for more effective and appropriate practice of French Education, and will give us an opportunity to think about the better way of teaching and learning model by “AA” in Korea.

Kim, Kyu-hyun. 2004. A Conversation Analysis of Korean Sentence-Ending Modal Suffixes -ney, -kwun(a), and -ta: Noticing as a Social Action. Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea, 12(1). Drawing upon H. S. Lee's (1993) cognitively-oriented research on the functions of three sentence-ending modal suffixes in Korean that are used to express newly perceived information, -ney, -kwun(a), and -ta, this study analyzes the distinct meanings of these suffixes from a conversation-analytic perspective (Sacks et al. 1974). The suffix -ney is used in the context in which the speaker notices a referent/event and makes an assessment on the spot in such a way that the speaker's stance displayed through the action is formulated as something that is to be immediately oriented to and contingently taken up by the hearer. In contrast, the suffix -kwun(a) is used when the speaker is mainly oriented to displaying a stance congruent with the prior talk. The action it organizes is often limited to acknowledging a point of the prior talk or having the hearer acknowledge the speaker's observation, often with a salient topic-curtailing and sequence-terminating import. The suffix -ta tends to orient the hearer to the next stage of the speaker's action (e.g., suggestion, warning, offer, etc.) to whose directive force the hearer is variably implicated as a beneficiary/facilitator. The interactional account offered in this paper is shown to complement Lee's cognitive account, with emphasis placed on examining the ways in which these suffixes are used as resources for organizing distinct types of social action.

본 연구는 다문화이주여성의 원예진로교육 프로그램이 자기효용감, 문화적응, 진로준비행동에 미치는 효과를 알아보기 위해 다문화 이주여성 27명을 대상으로 4개월 간 총 17회의 원예진로교육을 실시하였다. 프로그램 시작 전에 다문화이주여성을 대상으로 연구에 필요한 기초자료 수집과 더불어 자기효용, 문화적응, 진로준비행동 척도를 설문 조사를 통해 측정하였다. 원예진로교육 프로그램의 실시 전과 후의 자기효용의 변화를 비교해 본 결과, 원예진로교육에 참여한 다문화이주여성들의 자기효용감은 월등히 향상되었으며 하위요인으로 일반적 자기효용감에 있어서 원예활동 전후의 큰 차이를 보였다. 또한 원예진로교육 프로그램은 문화적응에 있어서도 긍정적인 영향을 미쳤으나 통계적으로는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 진로준비행동은 원예진로교육 전후의 결과에 있어서 효과적인 차이를 나타낸 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 원예진로교육 프로그램에 대한 긍정적 평가는 자기효용, 문화적응, 진로준비행동으로 이어진 것으로 보여지며 특히 자기효용감이 높을수록 진로준비행동이 높은 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 다문화이주여성을 대상으로 한 원예진로교육 프로그램은 개인의 삶에 있어 자신의 진로를 결정하고 준비해가는 단계에 있어 자기효용감의 상승과 문화적응, 다문화 이주여성의 사회진출 및 직업준비단계에 있어 긍정적인 영향을 줄 수 있을 것으로 보인다.
