The purpose of this study is to develop textbooks that can be used in education for developing easy-to-read materials for people with developmental disabilities. The textbook was developed through the steps of analysis of guidelines for making easy-to-read materials, confirmation of the course, development of textbook contents, and verification of validity. The final developed materials were developed as textbooks, including reader classification, vocabulary, symbols, layout, and production practice for the development of easy-to-read materials with a total of 7 sessions. The important characteristics of the textbook developed in this study are: First, it classified readers who read easy-to-read materials for the first time in Korea and introduced them as Plain Language readers and Easy to Read readers. Second, the guideline that can be referenced while developing easy-to-read materials was developed as a checklist, so that it can be checked by itself. Third, thematic activity sheets and workbooks were developed so that they can be used as activity-oriented textbooks.

지식기반 사회에서 교육은 장기적인 발전을 위한 필수 요소이다. 교육을 위해서는 말하기, 듣기, 쓰기, 읽기 능력이 필요하다. 이 중 하나라도 충족하지 못한다면 제대로 된 교육을 받을 수 없다. 하지만 전 세계에 존재하는 약 6900여종의 언어 중 6600여종의 언어는 표기할 수 있는 고유 문자가 없다. 읽기 능력과 쓰기 능력을 기르기 위한 최소 조건조차 마련되어 있지 않은 것이다. 그래서 말은 있지만 문자는 없는 국가에 말을 표기할 수 있는 문자를 보급하여 지식기반 발전의 기반을 마련해 주는 소울(SOUL) 시스템을 제안한다. 소울(SOUL)은 두 가지 기능을 가지고 있다. 문자 교육 기능과, 지식 공유 공간 기능이다. 문자 교육 기능에서는 각 문자가 내는 소리와 조합방법, 그리고 각 문자의 표기법, 표기 순서 등을 익힘으로써 문자를 쉽게 익힐 수 있도록 하였다. SOUL은 말을 표기할 문자로 비교적 익히기 쉬운 언문인 한글을 채택하였다. 그리고 지식 공유 공간 기능에서는 문자를 익힌 사용자가 마치 위키피디아처럼 지식을 기록하고 공유할 수 있어 지식을 축적하도록 도와주도록 설계하였다. 여기서는 소울(SOUL) 시스템의 구조 및 구현을 보인다.

The purpose of this study was (1) to construct 'easy-to-read' books and (2) to investigate the effect of 'easy-to-read' books on young children's independent reading, the subjects were twenty six three and four-year-old children who attended a Saemaul murery school in Irk, chullapuk-do. The subjects were randomly assigned to and of two storybook reading conditions: in the first condition. subjects were encouraged to read traditional storybooks and in the second condition, subjects were encouraged to read 'easy-to-read' books. The paired t-test and the Student's t-test were employed to analyze the data. The results showed that subjects in both groups attempted to read more frequently in the post-test than in the pre-test. Subject in the 'easy-to-read' condition attempted to read more frequently on the post test than subjects in the traditional book condition.

Formulaic sequences are continuous or discontinuous series of words that are seemingly treated like single units. Formulaic sequences play a key role in language development, and formulaic sequences acquisition determines the success or failure of language development. This study proposes a reading aloud activity as a way for international students to learn formulaic sequences. A class focused on reading aloud was conducted with 41 international students taking a general English course at a university in Seoul. For 15 weeks, video lectures and real-time Zoom classes were conducted in parallel. The animated film Frozen was used as course material. In the video lectures, the teacher interpreted the movie script in easy Korean and read aloud formulaic sequences. Students were tasked with reading the sentences with formulaic sequences aloud, recording themselves reading aloud, and submitting their recordings. During real-time class meetings, students performed the activity of reading aloud the formulaic sequences they had studied in the video lectures. There was a significant increase in the interpretation and sentence writing of formulaic sequences in participants' post-evaluation compared to the pre-evaluation. Through the study's survey, students exhibited positive views in the affective domains.

This study investigated global and local characteristics of eye movement while 30 college students read easy and difficult Korean texts. It was found that readers who read the difficult text fixated longer for about 217ms and made shorter saccades of about 3.7 characters while readers who read the easy one fixated for about 190ms and made saccades of about 4.8 characters. Single fixation times and gaze durations in the difficult text were longer than those in the easy one(227ms vs. 195ms; 266ms vs. 210ms). In both easy and difficult texts, the effects of word frequency and eojeol length were found. In addition, the differences in fixation times according to word frequency and length were larger in the difficult text.

This study investigated search interface of Korea children's library and suggested how to improve problems. This study researched 4 types search interface of 27 children's reading room, public/private children's Korea home page designs and International Children's Digital Library. To sum up, when interface designers design children's search interface, they should consider following factors. The size of letters are avaliable changed which little readers want to the size of letters. Avaliable to imput the keyboard or the mouse. The size of icons should design easy to click children in size. Children's interface should design user oriented.

This study's purpose is to investigate the effects of reading movie scripts aloud in non-face-to-face general English courses on international students' English ability in the COVID-19 era. A general English class was delivered once a week for 15 weeks to 47 international students at a Seoul-based university. The animated movie Tangled and its script were used as learning materials. Biweekly, students had to watch video lectures using the university's learning management system(LMS) and read scripts aloud through Zoom. In the video lectures, the teacher went over specific vocabulary and interpreted the movie scripts in easy Korean. For the second activity through Zoom, international students read the movie script aloud individually and in groups. The post-test revealed significant improvements in both reading and writing, as compared to the pre-test. Through the study's survey, participants exhibited positive attitudes in affective domains(understanding, satisfaction, interest, and recommendation).

The purpose of this study is to know the acoustic characteristics of voice under stressful and relaxed conditions. Ten undergraduate male students participated in this study and produced 아, 에, 이 vowels in English reading, difficult Korean reading under stressful conditions, and easy Korean reading under relaxed conditions. After that, F0, jitter, shimmer, NHR, F1, F2, and F3 values were measured and analyzed. The results of this study demonstrate that speech parameters related to stress are jitter, shimmer, and NHR in that these values are lower under relaxed situations (easy Korean reading) than that of stressful situations (English and difficult Korean reading). This study will be a foundation to verify that the analysis of acoustic characteristics can serve as a quantitative tool for measuring stress levels.

Visual and color in Korean newspaper advertisements appeared in transformational advertising (21cm$\times$30.4cm) were analyzed. Data were gathered from 191 advertisements shown on major four daily newspaper; Dong-a, Joong-ang, Chosun, and Hanguk from October to December in 2000. From the results of this research, researcher concluded the followings; Both Korean and English are frequently used. With expectation of high readability, Roman/serifs and San serifs are mostly used typefaces. Selecting color for copy and backgraund in advertisements became more varied to satisfy varied consumers' personality.
