홍콩의 소수민족 학생들을 위한 효과적인 교육 방법의 부족은 중국어를 배우려는 동기의 부족으로 이어진다. 본 연구는 소수민족 중등학교 학생들을 대상으로 그림책 수업을 실시하였다. 인터뷰, 수업 참관, 텍스트 분석 등의 연구 방법을 활용하여 중국어 교사가 어떻게 그림책 텍스트 속의 한자와 문장을 판별하게 하는지, 그리고 이야기의 내용과 주제를 이해시켜 깊은 성찰에 이르게 하는지를 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 교사와 학생은 그림책 수업의 효과에 대해 긍정적인 평가를 하고 있으며, 그림책 수업이 학생들이 한자의 의미를 쉽게 인지하게 하고 텍스트의 내용 과 주제를 깊이 있게 이해하는데 도움을 준다고 생각함을 알게 되었다.

The study investigated if teaching summarizing skills could improve the summary skills of Korean EFL university students. This study involved 38 university freshmen in a required English course and were randomly chosen as the control and experimental groups. The experimental group was taught through summarizing rules, while the control group was engaged in other lessons during the intervention period. The students’ summaries were analyzed as to how effectively the participants paraphrased and integrated the main ideas, the major supporting details, and accurate information from source text into their summaries. The results show that a significant instruction effect was observed in the summary writing performance of the experimental group, in identifying main ideas and major details and paraphrasing and integrating ideas, compared to the control group, which showed a significant change between the first and second summaries only on the accuracy measure. The results are also supported by the questionnaire on students’ perceptions of the instruction.

홍콩의 비중국어권 학습자의 실용문 학습과 상황에 맞는 정확한 표현 능력의 제고를 위해 홍콩대학 Dr. Mark Shum Shiu Kee (岑紹基) 연구팀은 교육국의 연구비 지원을 받아 2016~ 2017년 비중국어권 학습자용 실용문 교재를 개발하였다. 본 논문은 기능 어법 이론을 바탕으로 비중국어권 학습자용 실용문 교재를 어떻게 설계했는지를 밝히고, 본 교재가 비중국어권 학습자의 기능어 운용 능력 향상에 끼친 영향에 대해 고찰하였다. 또한 연구팀이 개발한 실용문 교재가 비중국어권 학습자의 기능어 운용 능력 향상에 어떠한 성과를 가져왔는지를 밝히는 것을 본 논문의 주목적으로 삼았다. 연구팀은 체계 기능 언어학 이론을 바탕으로 비중국어권 학습자용 실용문 교재를 개발하였으며, 실용문의 종류에 따라 달라지는 의사전달 기능, 도식 구조, 어법 특징을 고려하여 읽기 예문의 주제를 선정하였다. 또한, 비중국어권 학습자가 기능어와 구문 활용에서 갖는 어려움을 실용문 종류에 따라 나누어 분석하였다. 아울러, ｢文類功能(문체기능)｣ 이론 및 ｢閱讀促進學習(읽기촉진학습)｣ 교수법을 참고로 읽기 쓰기 통합형 쌍방향 연습법을 개발하여 학습자가 모범 예문을 분석, 해체 및 재구조화를 할 수 있게 하고, 더 나아가 학습자가 스스로 실용문 쓰기를 할 수 있도록 도왔다. 이외에도, 교육 일선에서 지도하고 있는 중국어 교사들을 초청하여 시범적으로 교수법을 시행하고 이를 통해 본 교재의 실제 효과를 검증해 보았다. 학습자가 작성한 실용문을 교수법 시행 전후로 비교 분석하고 교사와 학습자 인터뷰도 함께 진행하여, 본 실용문 교재가 비중국어권 학습자의 기능어 운용과 실용문 쓰기에 끼친 효과를 평가하였다. 아울러, 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 비중국어권 학습자 실용문 교육을 위한 실행 가능한 몇 가지 방안을 제시하였다.

The purpose of this study is to examine phenomena of teaching writing in Korean as a foreign or a second language, and to propose contents and methods for improving teachers’ ability of teaching writing. I presented 3 reasons that mainly cause the difficulty in teaching writing for nonnative speakers of Korean. Among the reasons, teachers’ lack of confidence and insufficiency of expertise in teaching writing is the most important one which we have to compensate in terms of improving teachers’ ability. First, in chapter Ⅱ, I analyzed the trend of teaching writing in Korean as an L2, and examined the characteristics of teacher training for teachers-to-be in Korean language education. Next, in chapter Ⅲ, I defined the concept of ‘ability of teaching writing’, and summarized the categories of the ability. Finally, in chapter Ⅳ, I suggested the contents and methods for improving teachers’ ability of teaching writing with regard to teachers’ expertise. Specially, I focused not only on the pedagogic content knowledge (PCK), but also on the content knowledge (CK). In this paper, I explored teacher education which is considered as one of the most important area for better teaching Korean as an L2. However, this paper remains only as a pioneer attempt at teacher education research for the area is not fully discussed yet.

The present study aims at investigating problems with a TEE class in terms of classroom activities and code-switching. One middle school teacher and her students participated in the study. The teacher taught a writing class in TEE context. She taught more than half of the class in English. Her students experienced different interactional patterns in four different activities. However, most of the students could not participate both in pair work and group work without her teacher’s help. That was because the teacher had problems with giving instructions: (1) her instructions about the activities were not clear enough; (2) she did not provide any modelling for the activities; and (3) she did not check any clarifications for the activities. Also, the ratio of the teacher’s utterance to students’ was too high: 96% in English and 89.5% in Korean. In addition, she did not use any pause in code-switching from English to Korean, deprived of checking whether her students understood the target language input given in English. Directions for further research and pedagogical implications will be discussed.

When one is reading or writing, various forms of bottom-up knowledge—e.g., grammar, vocabulary, orthography, and the mechanics of written language—interact with the top-down processes at the level of discourse. One of the reasons English language learners encounter a lot of difficulty when they are engaged in academic reading and writing is that they have been taught grammar only at the sentence level and not at the discourse level. In order to illustrate how discourse-based grammar instruction can facilitate the acquisition of academic reading and writing, this paper discusses various ways in which the following four topics can be dealt with at the discourse level: cohesion, the tense and aspect system, comma usage, and existential there. Obviously, discourse-based grammar instruction should be integrated with the teaching of the other top-down and bottom-up skills necessary for academic reading and writing. EFL teachers, however, need to know more about discourse grammar to effectively make their learners aware of it and to offer them learning activities that will contribute to better reading comprehension and written production.

홍콩에 거주하고 있는 대부분의 외국 학생들은 작문이 중국어를 학습할 때 겪 는 가장 큰 어려움이라고 말한다. 최근 장르 교육법(genre teaching approach)은 학습자의 읽기 능력과 작문 능력을 신장시키는데 있어 여러 많은 방면에서 활용 되고 적용되고 있다. 이에 따라 본고에서는 장르 교육법을 중국어가 모국어가 아 닌 학생들을 대상으로 시범적으로 운영하여 그들의 글쓰기 능력을 측정하고자 한 다. 이를 위해 홍콩대학에서 운영중인 “非華語 학생을 위한 중국어 학습 계획”에 참여하고 있는 학생들 중 한 반을 선택하여 그들을 연구 대상으로 삼아, 수업 관 찰과 심층 인터뷰, 학습 전후의 문장 분석과 작문 능력을 비교하여 봄으로써, 두 번의 실험을 통해 우리는 학생들의 글쓰기 능력에 효과가 있는가를 살펴 볼 수 * 香있었다. 이 연구를 통해 중국어가 모국어가 아닌 학생들은 장르 교육법을 통해 교육 받 기 전과 후에 2번에 걸친 글쓰기 능력에 큰 차이가 있음을 볼 수 있었다. 교육 받기 전의 작문은 그 체제가 비교적 산만하였으며, 서술 문장의 문체적 특징이 무 엇인지도 보여지지 않았다. 반면 교육 후에는 그 체제가 비교적 형식을 갖추었고, 서술 문장의 문체적 특징도 전개되어 있었다. 마지막으로 학생들과의 심층 인터뷰 를 통해 우리는 장르교육법이 중국어가 모국어가 아닌 학생들의 중국어 작문 능 력을 향상 시키는데 도움이 되었다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

For the vast majority of non-Chinese speaking (NCS) students in Hong Kong, writing is the greatest difficulty they encounter when studying Chinese. Thus, giving support to improve NCS students’ Chinese writing is currently urgent. In recent years, Genre Teaching Approach is a widely used teaching method to improve students' reading and writing skills. This study attempted to use Genre Teaching Approach to teach NCS students to learn narrative writing. The researchers selected one class of students who participated in the Student Support Programme (SSP) in the University of Hong Kong as research participants. Through classroom observation, interviews and text analysis of students' pretest and posttest essays, we explored the effectiveness of Genre Teaching Approach for improving NCS students' writing skills. This study found that there was a significant difference between the pretest and posttest narrative writing performances of the NCS students. Before Genre Teaching Approach was adopted in teaching, their composition structures were unorganized and did not exhibit the stylistic features of narrative writing. But after they were taught by Genre Teaching Approach, their compositions were well-structured, and showed the characteristics of narrative writing. Finally, according to the in-depth interviews with the students, we could further confirm that Genre Teaching Approach helped to improve NCS students’ Chinese writing ability.

Over the last three decades, various disciplines of discourse analysis have shared a common interest in language use, especially in how people use real language. It is therefore of immediate interest to language teachers when selecting and devising teaching materials or when engaging learners in activities aimed at leading them to be more proficient users of their target language. This paper begins with outlining essential written discourse elements, such as grammatical and lexical cohesive devices, clause relations and larger text patterns which play important roles in syntactic and semantic cohesion and coherence in written texts. Then, the procedure of a written discourse analysis on a news text is described. The paper ends with a discussion on the insights from the written discourse analysis, which might be applicable, in specifiable ways, to language teaching, focusing on how to apply written discourse elements to teaching written English in real classrooms.

The purposes of this study are to explore firstly two teachers’ EFL writing classrooms at a university in Korea and secondly students’ perceptions on their teachers’ classroom-based teaching for EFL writing in the same social and institutional context. The classroom interactions focus on rules of processes and teaching and learning of writing. The data comprise classroom observations of two EFL writing classrooms and interviews with both teachers and students. The findings indicate that the two teachers show a big contrast in terms of their writing practices. One teacher embodied the textbook with traditional approach and adopted translation activity whereas the other teacher tried to have creative self-expression approach with the textbook and workshop activity. The students tended to adopt classroom-based writing practices that might suit their purposes or goals in learning of writing in English. The findings provide an in depth understanding of the teaching and learning of writing, the role of teachers, and students’ purposes in EFL writing classrooms. It also suggests that the teacher needs to consider students perceptions by actively talking about relevant issues.

The present study investigates the effects of teaching activity-based integrative reading and writing on the amelioration of written language in the elementary school classroom. This study was conducted during the first semester in 2003. The subjects were 160, 6th year elementary school students. They were divided into two groups, control and experimental. Both the control group and the experimental group were composed of 80 students each. Each group was divided into three levels: high, intermediate, and low, on the basis of a diagnostic evaluation. All the subjects of the experimental group were integratively taught reading and writing of the English alphabet, words, phrases, sentences, and context, according to their level. All the subjects of the control group were discretely taught reading and writing according to their curriculum and level. They were also given a questionnaire of affective and psychomotor domains. Statistical analyses were performed to determine: (a) the difference of the control and experimental groups, (b) the difference between the control and experimental groups, (c) the difference of their level (high, intermediate, and low) of the control and experimental groups on reading and writing in the pre- and post- achievement tests, and (d) the difference of the level of the control and experimental groups on the affective and psychomotor domains such as interest, self-confidence, understanding, participation, and motivation of reading and writing in the pre- and post- achievement tests. The results of this study reveal that significantly higher scores on the written language were obtained in the experimental group. The difference between the control group and the experimental group was not significant at the beginning of the term. However, the difference was significant at the end of the term. It was also found that in the experimental group, interest was improved at the intermediate level. Self-confidence and understanding were improved at the intermediate and low levels, and participation was improved at the low level. It is recommended that researchers and teachers develop integrative materials of reading and writing more widely according to the level.

이 논문의 목적은 교사의 전문적 정체성을, 그가 가진 교육과정 관점을 토대로 심층적으로 이해해 보고자 하는 것이다. 전문적 정체성에 대한 깊이 있는 이해를 위해 Pinar가 주장하는 자서전적 저널 쓰기와 인터뷰를 수행하였고, 이 과정에서 밝혀진 교육과정 관점이 실제 수업 행위에서는 어떻게 드러나는가에 대해 수업 실천을 녹화하고 분석하였다. 과거, 현재, 미래에 대한 자서전적 저널과 인터뷰의 내용 분석 결과, 연구 참여자는 학습자 중심적인 교육과정 관점을 주로 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 관점은 수업 행위 분석에서 보다 강화(명료화, 관련되는 새로운 관점의 발견) 되거나, 약화(관점과 일치하지 않은 행위의 발견)되기도 하였다. 교사는 이러한 상황을 자신을 이해하는 중요 성찰 자료로, 즉 자신에 대한 이해의 지평을 넓히는 자료로 활용하였다. 이 연구는 연구 참여자의 전문가로서의 자기이해, 자기발견에 초점을 두어 진행하였으며, 이러한 자서전 적 방법과 연계된 수업 행위 분석 결과를 바탕으로 교육과정 관점에 토대를 둔, 실천적 지식을 가진 전문가로서의 교사를 양성하는 방안이 될 수 있음을 논의하였다.
