In this paper, we implement an elementary system to correct accents and pronunciations in English words spoken by non-native English speakers. In case of the accent evaluation, energy and pitch information are used to find stressed syllables, and then we extract the segment information of input patterns using a dynamic time warping method to discriminate and evaluate accent position. For the pronunciation evaluation, we utilize the segment information using the same algorithm as in accent evaluation, and perform the spectral distance measure for each phoneme between input patterns and reference patterns. Based on these spectral distances, we decide whether to recommend the pronunciation correction or not. Our results show that 98 percent of accent and 71 percent of pronunciation evaluation agree with the perceptual measure.

현재 세계 대부분의 나라에서 사용하는 국제단위계는 우리가 그동안 미터법이라고 부르던 단위계가 현대화 된 것이라고 보면 된다. 이 국제단위계를 보통 'SI'라고 하는데 이는 불어 Le Sys- teme International d'Unites에서 온 약어로 국제 공통으로 이렇게 표시하기로 했다. 즉 이 단위계의 이름을 우리나라 말로는 '국제단위계'이지만 영어로는 'The International System of Unit's로 표시 하는 등 각 나라마다 다를 수 있으나 전 세계 모든 나라가 공통으로 'SI'라고 부르기로 한 것이다. 국제단위계(SI)의 시초는 1790년경 프랑스에서 발명된 '미터계'이며, 이 미터계는 1875년 17개국 이 미터협약(Meter Convention)에 조인함으로써 공시화되었다. 이 미터계로부터 분야에 따라 여러 개의 하부 단위가 생겼으며 이에 따라 많은 단위들이 나타나게 되었는데, 그 한 예가 1881년 과학분 야에서 사용하기 위해 만든 CGS계이며, 이는 센티미터, 그램 및 초에 바탕을 두고 있다.

Brain drain of scientists and technologists to the United States from other countries is a phenomenal issue due to the potential developmental impacts it could have on sending countries. Immigration policies undoubtedly play the major part to shape the human resource outcomes. There has been a common sense explanation to the brain drain trend, which states that the lower English language requirements in the scientific and technology jobs compared to other high skill brain drain jobs offer immigrants more favorable employment opportunities. These and other language related variables are used with standard human capital model variables to assess the validity of the common sense proposition.

현재의 정보 검색 및 문서를 분류하는 기법에 대하여 신경망을 이용한 정보검색 모델에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 간단한 문장에 대한 주제어 분석에서부터 장문에 해당하는 수필 등의 문서를 분류하는 기술이 요구되고 있으며, 이를 실현하기 위한 다양한 알고리즘을 적용하거나, 단어 및 문서에 가중치를 적용하거나, 문서에서의 특이 값을 구하고, 이를 분석하는 방법에 대하여 정보화가 가속화 되면서 정확한 문서에 대한 이해가 요구되고 있다. 이러한 연구와 직접적으로 관련된 단어의 빈도에 대한 논의는 사회과학의 영어학습에 대한 연구 또는 순수 언어에 대한 연구에 머물러 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 영문에서의 응집장치를 이용하여 문장에서의 중요 단어에 대한 빈도를 합리적으로 증가시켜 문장의 의미를 더 정확하게 분석할 수 있는 기법에 대하여 제시하고자 하며, 본 논문에서는 영문 수필 사이트의 분류를 추측하고 이를 자동 분류 할 수 있는 방법에 대하여 제시하고자 하며, 이를 구현하여 문서의 의미에 대한 연구에 기여하고자 한다.

본 논문은 영한 과학기술 논문 자동번역 시스템을 대상으로 이루어진 수동 평가와 자동 평가 사이의 상관 관계를 밝힘으로써 수동 평가와 자동 평가 중에 한쪽의 방법에 의해서 평가가 이루어지더라도 다른 쪽의 수치를 파악할 수 있도록 하는데 목표가 있다. 본 논문에서 수행한 수동 평가는 5 인의 전문 번역가가 5 회에 걸쳐 평가한 결과이며, 자동 평가는 영어 원문 1,000 문장에 대한 8 인이 번역한 8,000 문장의 정답문(References)과 자동번역 결과를 어절 단위와 형태소 단위로 N-gram 비교를 통해 평가된 결과이다. 본 논문에서 도출된 식은 사용하는 평가 집합과 대상 번역 시스템 별로 자동 평가와 수동 평가 간의 상관 계수를 만들어내고 수동 번역률을 구하는 식을 동일하게 적용한다면 시스템의 자동 평가 결과로부터 성능을 직관적으로 해석하는데 상당히 도움이 될 것이다.

In this paper, we introduce an automatic system of scoring English essays. The system is comprised of three main components: a spelling checker, a grammar checker and a lexical cohesion checker. We have used such resources as WordNet, Link Grammar/parser and Roget's thesaurus for these components. The usefulness of an automatic scoring system depends on its reliability. To measure reliability, we compared the results of automatic scoring with those of manual scoring, on the basis of the Kappa statistics and the Multi-facet Rasch Model. The statistical data obtained from the comparison showed that the scoring system is as reliable as professional human graders. This system deals with textual units rather than sentential units and checks not only formal properties of a text but also its contents.

Internet users purchase goods on the Internet and express their positive or negative emotions of the goods in product reviews. Analysis of the product reviews become critical data to both potential consumers and to the decision making of enterprises. Therefore, the importance of opinion mining techniques which derive opinions by analyzing meaningful data from large numbers of Internet reviews. Existing studies were mostly based on comments written in English, yet analysis in Korean has not actively been done. Unlike English, Korean has characteristics of complex adjectives and suffixes. Existing studies did not consider the characteristics of the Internet language. This study proposes an emotional classification method which increases the accuracy of emotional classification by analyzing the characteristics of the Internet language connoting feelings. We can classify positive and negative comments about products automatically using the Internet emoticon. Also we can check the validity of the proposed algorithm through the result of high precision, recall and coverage for the evaluation of this method.

With advances in technology, many researchers have made an effort to find out educational methods with customized instruction. The purpose of the research is to investigate i) if flipped learning is beneficial for the students taking intermediate-level English grammar and writing class compared with the traditional class, ii) if the flipped learning class is advantageous for all the score level students in terms of student achievement and iii) if the students feel motivated with the flipped learning class. T-test was utilized to determine any differences between pretest and posttest in student achievement. The result in terms of the academic achievement revealed that the flipped classroom approach for the low score group was found to be the least effective among others. In the case of flipped learning teaching method, the instructor should develop contents according to the level of learners. The development of customized contents tailored to the level of learners will enhance learners' learning achievement.

The purpose of this study is to identify the citing behaviors of researchers in the field of mechanical engineering. It tries to verify if there is a significant difference on citing behavior of researchers between the past and the present with dissertations produced in P University as samples. For the comparison, years 1996 and 2004 are selected for the citation analysis. It analyzed four aspects, such as types of resources cited, languages used in cited documents, years since their publication of cited documents, and the journals indexed in SCI. The results of the analysis are; First, journals are the most cited than any other types of information resources. The citation of WWW resources which are gradually increasing for research is not shown in 1996, but there were some cited in 2004. Second, doctoral candidates usually cite document in English for their study. Statistics show that the use of resources in Japanese is on the decrease. Third, doctoral candidates in the discipline prefer materials published within 4-7 years, 8-11 years rather than 0-3 years since their publication. Last, journals indexed in SCI among the citation in dissertations are about 33 percent for both 1996 and 2004.

With the development of digital technology and the increasing demand for learning how to improve one's ability to solve problems through play and participation interactions, a variety of edutainment game contents are being developed. The edutainment game contents developed until recently have received a large number of contents for intelligence development and transfer of knowledge such as Korean and English mathematics for children and children. Recently, there have been various researches on the necessity and effect of STEAM education that foster convergent science and technology talents with comprehensive thinking ability and scientific inquiry spirit through the fusion education method among the subjects including science, technology, engineering, mathematics, And there is a growing need for the development of a parish suitable for STEAM education. However, there is a lack of STEAM educational content development that incorporates the technology of creative convergence talent training to develop talented people who can think and solve problems by crossing various academic boundaries. Therefore, this study develops game contents for early childhood education by combining STEAM education which foster convergent science and technology talents with comprehensive thinking ability and scientific inquiry spirit. And we designed and implemented STEAM game contents for infant learning education which can induce the interest of children and have fun by using gyroscope sensor of smartphone.
