Abstract

The purpose of this study is to review empirical research on Form-focused instruction (FFI) in Korean language education from a critical perspective to better understand the effectiveness of FFI. To achieve this goal, several databases were searched to locate relevant experimental and quasi experimental studies published in peer-reviewed journals. Out of 66 studies collected, 12 studies met the inclusion criteria. The studies were then analyzed in terms of subjects, target grammar, treatment, measurement, and the learning outcomes of different techniques. In general, several types of FFI techniques had positive effects on helping learners acquire Korean as a second or foreign language. The results of the study will provide a conceptual framework which identifies the major factors affecting the effectiveness of FFI. The results will also be able to inform future meta-analytical research of existing studies.

본 연구의 목적은 한국어 교육에서의 형태초점교수법의 효과를 검증하기 위하여 지금까지 행해진 실증적 연구를 비판적 시각으로 검토하는 것이다. 이 목적을 달성하기 위해 다수의 논문 데이터베이스를 검색하여 총 66개의 논문을 찾았으며, 이중 실증적 자료를 제시한 12개의 논문을 연구대상으로 채택하였다. 채택된 논문들을 연구 참여자, 목표 문법, 처치, 측정, 효과성을 기준으로 분석하였다. 전반적으로 형태초점교수법에 속하는 다양한 교수 전략들은 한국어를 제2언어로 가르치는데 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 형태초점 교수법에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하는 데 필요한 체계를 제공할 것이며, 또한 선행 연구의 메타 분석에 필요한 정보를 제공할 것이다.
