Abstract

This study examines the problem of incorrect usage of grammatical terms that are quite common in English grammar teaching process and suggests ways to revise and improve the errors. Parts of speech and sentence elements are indispensable for any grammatical explanation. These grammatical terms are a core part of the grammar, but they are frequently used without being verified correctly and interchangeably with no distinction. These terms refer to different things, and when they are used interchangeably, they cause confusion in the establishment of grammar cognition. In result, there is a crucial need to discuss and improve the definitions of the grammatical terms defined in the English teaching process for proper improvement in effective English education.

본 연구는 현재 영어문법 교수과정에서 흔하게 나타나고 있는 문법용어 즉, 품사와 문장구성요소 용어의 오사용 문제점을 살펴보고 이에 대한 수정 및 개선할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 품사와 문장요소는 어떤 문법적인 기술을 위해서도 필수불가결한 것이다. 이러한 품사와 문장요소들은 학교 문법과 일반적인 문법의 기초를 이루는 부분임에도 정확한 재단 및 검증이 이루어지지 않은 채 중의적으로 사용되기도 하고 품사와 문장요소를 정확히 구분하지 않은 상태로 혼용하고 있다. 영어의 품사와 문장요소는 서로 다른 것을 지칭하는 것이고 이것들을 혼용해서 사용하는 경우 영어 교육을 위한 문법용어 설정에 큰 문제점을 야기하게 된다. 결론적으로, 현재 학교에서 사용되는 영어교재 및 각종 수험서에서 정의하고 있는 품사 및 문장요소에 대한 정의를 논의 및 제고해 볼 필요성이 있고 이러한 논의 및 분석을 통해 효과적인 영어교육을 위한 문법용어 설정에 대한 논의를 하고자 한다.
