This paper is a study on the methodology of making customized contents according to user 's tendency through the development of learning contents utilizing IT. A variety of learners around the world use mobile devices and mobile learning contents to conduct their learning activities in various fields, and foreign language learning is one of the typical mobile learning areas. Foreign language learning contents suggested in this study is constructed based on the learner's verbal and text information in accordance with the user's vocal tendency. It is necessary to find out a suitable method to translate the user's native language text into the target language and make it into user friendly content.

We investigated the influence of negative emotion such as state-trait anxiety and depression and working memory (WM) on Foreign Language Vocabulary Learning (FLVL) of South Korean university students. Also, its implications for developing contents for FLVL were discerned. To do so, state-trait anxiety and depression inventories as well as four kinds of WM test were performed for 132 undergraduate students. Participants also had two semantic learning sessions for Swahili words. The mean scores of negative emotions were normal level. The results of structural equation modeling (SEM) showed that there was no effect of negative emotion on FLVL, while direct effects of the negative emotion on WM and the WM on FLVL were significant. Such results suggested that FLVL would be weakened, with the result that WM had been impaired by negative emotions. These outcomes suggested that when developing FLVL content for university students, it is necessary to consider the negative emotions of foreign language learners and to develop the contents for FLVL in the light of WM load.

외국어를 학습하는 데 있어서 해당 외국어의 의사소통 능력을 향상시키고 평가한다는 것은 상당히 큰 중요성을 가진다. 교실에서 학습자의 듣기, 말하기, 읽기, 쓰기 능력을 통해 학습자의 언어 능력을 함양하고 평가하기 위해 어떠한 연습문제나 시험 혹은 평가방법을 사용하느냐 하는 것은 학습자의 학습동기에 지대한 영향을 미친다. 왜냐하면, 보통 학습자들은 교수자가 무엇을 가르치고 기대하며 평가하느냐에 따라 자신들의 학습방법을 맞춰 나가기 때문이다. 이러한 맥락에서 본 연구는 보다 적극적인 학습자들의 참여를 유도하고 유연성 있는 학습자 중심의 학습법을 고양시키며 다양한 언어능력을 고취시키기 위하여, 효과적인 외국어 학습법의 하나로 알려진 paraphrasing을 학습에 활용하고자 한다. 특히 paraphrasing은 일상생활 속에서도 의사소통을 원활히 하기 위한 수단으로서 글 바꿔 쓰기 혹은 말 바꿔 말하기로 활용되기도 하나, 본 소논문에서는 paraphrasing이 학습을 목적으로 하는 학습현장에서 활용되었다는 것을 감안하여 의역을 통한 학습 혹은 의역학습법을 소개하고자 한다. 실제로 paraphrasing은 언어 및 외국어 학습자들에게 상당히 효과가 있는 것으로 알려진 것에 비해 실제로 한국어 교육현장에서 사용한 연구들은 거의 찾아 볼 수가 없다고 해도 과언이 아니다. 따라서, 의역학습법을 학습현장에서 도입했을 때 경험한 여러 시행착오를 바탕으로 실질적으로 교실에서 사용된 예시들을 소개하고, 한국어를 가르치는 교수자들과 한국어를 배우는 외국인 학습자들에게 paraphrasing을 사용한 새로운 한국어 교수방법과 평가 도구를 제안하고자 한다. 이를 통해, paraphrasing이 한국어를 가르치는 교수자들과 한국어를 배우고자 하는 외국 학습자들에게 효과적인 언어학습 도구로서 실질적으로 교육현장에서 널리 사용될 수 있는 계기가 되었으면 한다.

This study investigates the effectiveness of virtual reality agents as foreign language instructors with focus on the impact of different native language backgrounds and instructional roles. The agents were first distinguished as native or non-native speakers treated as a between-subject factor, and then assigned roles as either teachers or salespersons considered within-subject factors. An immersive virtual environment was developed for this experiment, and a 2×2 mixed factorial design was carried out. In an experimental group of 72 university students, statistically significant interactions were found in learning satisfaction, memory, and recall between the native/non-native status of the agents and their roles. With regard to learning confidence and presence, however, no statistically significant differences were observed in both interaction effects and main effects. Contextual learning in a virtual environment was found to enhance learning effectiveness and satisfaction, with the nativeness and the role of agents influencing learners' memory; thus highlighting the effectiveness of using virtual reality agents in foreign language learning. This suggests that varied approaches can have positive cognitive and emotional impacts on learners, thereby providing valuable theoretical and empirical implications.

본 연구에서는 온라인 상에서 대학학위 과정 교육을 목적으로 제작된 외국어 콘텐츠의 웹 아이덴티티 규명의 필요성과 규명된 웹 아이덴티티와 학습동기유발간의 상관관계를 연구하는데 중점을 둔다. 본 연구에서 채택된 외국어 교육 콘텐츠는 타 교육 분야보다 각 민족 언어의 아이덴티티가 시각적으로 재현되는 방식이 다양하다는 점에서 연구대상으로 부각되었다. 본 연구는 기존에 제시된 바 있는 웹 아이덴티티 분석 기준에서 출발하여 온라인 교육 콘텐츠 측면에서 이를 적용 및 재해석하고, 온라인 교육 콘텐츠 의 웹 아이덴티티 기준을 추가하였다. 따라서, 본 연구는 4년제 학사 학위를 수여하는 국내 0 사이버대학교의 외국어 교육 콘텐츠(영어, 일어, 중국어)의 사례를 웹 아이덴티티를 구현하는 세부 요소--시각디자인측면, 사운드측면, 인터페이스측면--에 맞추어 분석을 시도하였다. 또한 웹 아이덴티티가 적용된 각 외국어 교육 콘텐츠의 교육 효과 획득을 위한 학습동기유발 효과와의 상관관계를 알기 위하여 웹 아이덴티티가 적용, 제작된 외국어 교육 콘텐츠와 웹 아이덴티티가 적용되지 않은 채 제작된 외국어 교육 콘텐츠 간의 주의력, 관련성, 자신감, 만족감 등 학습동기유발 효과를 비교하는 설문 조사를 진행하였다. 이를 통해 온라인 외국어 교육 콘텐츠에 있어서 웹 아이덴티티의 개발과 적용이 외국어 교육 효과를 높이는 학습동기유발에 유의미한 역할을 한다는 것이 확인되었다.

Recently, the scientific approach to brain engineering is actively being made for effective foreign language learning and diagnosis. In order to supplement the problem of preexistence paper exam, the study aimed to develop a tool for foreign language fluency diagnosis which based on brain engineering. The proposed tools in the paper indirectly measure the aspects of brain information processing by testing learners' 3 abilities of linguistic memory, comprehension, and language production in 5 different ways.

This paper discusses the possibility of enhancing the efficiency in Second Language Learning with the help of an educational information and content search system that utilizes a Cloud system based Big Data. The proposed system plays a role in tracing the exact information that user request considering the interest, level, and aptitude of each individual. Also, the system screen outs unnecessary learning materials if they do not correspond to the user level which in result is one of the key factor in the proposed system. Since it requires multiple steps of verification in providing the extracted results finding out a way to reduce the steps to shorten the time of process.

According to studies of many language education researchers including R. Ellis, a representative English education specialist, it is an effective and important method to improve the authenticity of English by learning a foreign language repeatedly in learner's actual situation. In this paper, we propose a foreign language learning service combined with context-awareness service, and develop foreign language learning contents which improves the authenticity of English learning based on the service. This approach is based on a study on digital education contents that helps learners to acquire a foreign language in an unconscious state in their real environment and a study to analyze the empirical characteristics of users based on real-time multi-sensed data.

The present research intends to examine how college students' self-determination affects their beliefs in and achievement in foreign language learning in the current pandemic times. The data under discussion was collected from a survey questionnaire conducted to a group of 107 students attending at a four-year university in Cheonan. With the software SPSS Version 21.0, a set of statistical methods were employed: (i) descriptive statistics along with (ii) correlation analysis and (iii) regression analysis. The current analysis identified a positive correlation between their self-determination and both beliefs Foreign Langage Learning and Learning Outcomes, which means that the former exerts a significant impact on the latter. The results are expected to help educators arrange strategic plans that can enhance collegians' self-determination for their better performance of foreign language learning.

본 논문에서는 영어를 외국어로써 학습하는 한국인 학습자를 대상으로 한 새로운 영어 단어 학습 기법을 소개하고, 그 효용을 검증한다. 외국어 학습자에게는 외국어 단어를 외우는 절차가 중요한 이슈이기 때문에 영어단어 암기 효율을 높이기 위한 방법이 다수 제시되어 왔는데, 본 실험에서는 기존에 효과를 검증받은 방식과의 성능비교를 통한 검증을 시도한다. 실험 결과로부터 학습자가 새로 암기한 단어에 대하여 시간 지연에 따른 망각 정도가 기존 방식에서 제시하는 방법을 따랐을 때보다 적음을 보였다.
