This paper examines the perception of Korean phonemes by Egyptian learners of Korean and presents the learnability gradient of Korean consonants and vowels through High Variability Phonetic Training (HVPT). 50 Egyptian learners of Korean (27 low proficiency learners and 23 high proficiency learners) participated in 10 sessions of HVPT for Korean vowels, word initial and final consonants. Participants were tested on their identification ability of Korean vowels, word initial consonants, and syllable codas before and after the training. The results showed that both low and high proficiency groups did benefit from the training. Low proficiency learners showed a higher improvement rate than high proficiency learners. Based on the HVPT results, a learnability gradient was established to give insights into priorities in teaching Korean sounds to Egyptian learners.

뉴스 헤드라인에 제3자의 발언을 직접 인용해 전언하는 이른바 '따옴표 저널리즘'이 언론 보도의 객관주의 원칙을 해치는지는 언론학 및 뉴스 구독자에게 중요한 문제이다. 이 연구는 온라인 포털사이트를 통해 실시간 유통되는 한국어 기사의 정확성을 판별하기 위한 기계학습(Machine Learning) 모델을 제안한다. 이 연구에서 제안하는 모델은 Edit Distance와 FastText 기법을 활용해 기사 제목과 본문 내 인용구의 유사성을 측정하고, XGBoost 모델을 활용해 최종 분류한다. 아울러 이 모델을 통해 229만 건의 뉴스 헤드라인에 대해 직접 인용구가 포함된 기사가 취재원의 발언을 주관적인 윤색없이 독자들에게 전하고 있는지를 판별했다. 이뿐만 아니라 딥러닝 기반의 KoELECTRA 모델을 활용해 기사의 제목 내 인용구에 대한 감성 분석을 진행했다. 분석 결과, 윤색이 가미되지 않은 직접 인용형 기사의 비율이 지난 20년 동안 10% 이상 증가했으며, 기사 제목의 인용구에 나타나는 감정은 부정 감성이 긍정 감성의 2.8배 정도로 우세했다. 이러한 시도는 앞으로 계산사회과학 방법론과 빅데이터에 기반한 언론 보도의 평가 및 개선에 도움을 주리라 기대한다.

A fill-in-the-blank with choices are widely used in classrooms in order to check whether students' understand what is being taught. Although there have been proposed many algorithms for generating this type of questions, most of them focus on preparing sentences with blanks rather than generating multiple choices. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for generating multiple choices, given a sentence with a blank. Because the algorithm is based on a statistical language model, we can generate relatively unbiased result and adjust the level of difficulty with ease. The experimental results show that our approach automatically produces similar multiple-choices to those of the exam writers.

This study aimed to reveal how Vietnamese adult learners at three different proficiency levels perceive Korean word-initial obstruents and whether errors can be corrected through perceptual training. To this end, 105 Vietnamese beginner, intermediate, and advanced learners were given perceptual training on Korean word-initial. The training materials were created by actively utilizing Korean minimal pairs as natural stimuli recorded by native speakers. Learners in the experimental group performed five 20-40 minute self-directed perceptual training sessions over a period of approximately two weeks, while learners in the control group only participated in the pretest and posttest. The results showed a significant improvement in the perception of sounds that were difficult to distinguish before training, and both beginners and advanced learners benefited from the training. This study confirmed that large-scale perceptual training can play an important role in helping Vietnamese learners learn the appropriate acoustic cues to distinguish different sounds in Korean.

It is well known that the set theory is very fundamental and important in modern mathematics. So, the middle school mathematics begins with section 'Sets' which is introduced from the 2nd curriculum change. Therefore, it is natural to arrange the set theory at the beginning of middle school mathematics curriculum. But most of text-books develop the set theory section very rigorously and tightly under less considering the student's language level. The purpose of this study is to have effective learning of set theory section for every middle school students, we analysis the definitions and writing contents of section 'Sets' in each textbooks as a linguistic viewpoint, and investigate its further uses in each textbooks.

This study is to make in-depth and supplementary web-based courseware concerning each student's developed intelligence. The seventh elementary school social studies in-depth and supplementary curriculum is student-centered curriculum that concerns a student's learning ability, aptitude, concern, interesting. career and so on. But, present social science courseware does study without regard to learners's interest and aptitude So in this study, We have a target to build and develope web-based devise that helps student's in-depth and supplementary learning after evaluating multiple intelligence. That should be based on student's favorite intelligence in multiple intelligence theory. Considering Intrapersonal intelligence, Interpersonal intelligence, Musical intelligence, Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, Logical-mathematical intelligence, Linguistic intelligence, Spatial intelligence, We expect student's effective in-depth and supplementary learning based on each student's interest and capability.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how Korean learners perceive English vowels and further to test SLM which claims that new L2 vowel categories are more easily acquired than similar L2 vowel categories. Twenty Korean learners participated in English-to-Korean mapping test and English vowel identification test with target vowels /i, ɪ, u, ʊ, ɛ, æ/. The result revealed that Korean participants mapped the English pairs /i/-/ɪ/ and /u/-/ʊ/ onto single Korean vowel /i/ and /u/, respectively. in addition, both of English /ɛ/ and /æ/ were simultaneously mapped onto Korean /e/ and /ɛ/. This indicated that the Korean participants seemed to have perceptual difficulty for the pairs /i-ɪ/, /u-ʊ/, and /ɛ-æ/. The result of the forced-choice identification test showed that the accuracy of /ɪ, ʊ, æ/(ɪ: 81.3%, ʊ: 62.5%, æ: 60.0%) was significantly higher than that of /i, u, ɛ/(i: 28,8%, u: 28.8%, ɛ: 32.4%). Thus, the claim of SLM is confirmed given that /ɪ, ʊ, æ/ are new vowel categories whereas /i, u, ɛ/ are similar vowel categories. Further, the conspicuously low accuracy of the similar L2 vowel categories /i, u, ɛ/ was accounted for by over-generalization whereby the Korean participants excessively replaced L2 similar /i, u, ɛ/ with L2 new /ɪ, ʊ, æ/ as the participants were learning the L2 new vowel categories in the process of acquisition. Based on the findings this study, pedagogical suggestions are provided.

Um von der 'kritischen' Situation des Faches DaF rauszukommen, werden viele Versuche untemommen, durch die Verbesserung des Untenichts in der Richtung nach der Entwicklung der kommunikativen $F\"{a}higkeit$ Deutsch als Fremdsprache wieder attraktiv und $konkurrenzf\"{a}hig$ zu machen. Aber leider sieht die Zwischenbilanz nicht so erfolgreich aus. Eine der Ursachen $daf\"{u}r\;l\"{a}sst$ sich mE. darin sehen, dass die $Ans\"{a}tze,\;die\;haupts\"{a}chlich\;f\"{u}r$ den Unterricht von Deutsch als Zweitsprache entwickelt wurden, ohne $gen\"{u}gende$ Berucksichtigung auf die kulturellen und institutionellen Unterschiede zwischen den Lemsituationen im zielsprachigen Land und im Heimatland der Schuler eingesetzt werden. In diesem Kontext $w\"{a}re\;es\;n\"{o}tig$, auf die Unterschiede zwischen DaF und DaZ und ihre Wirkung auf die Lehrstrategien im DaF-Unterricht zuruckzugreifen, Dabei sind auf einige Faktoren besonders zu achten, die DaF-Untenicht vom DaZ-Untenicht unterscheiden: die Mangel an den $M\"{o}glichkeiten$ der authentischen Kommunikation, die $Homogenit\"{a}t\;der\;Sch\"{u}ler$, die Lemkultur in der schlulischen Institution, das Alter, in dem die Sch\"{u}ler$ mit dem Lemen der Zielsprache beginnen. Daraus lassen sich die folgenden unterrichtlichen Konsequenzen ergeben: Die Lehrer sollten sich bemtihen, den $Sch\"{u}lern\;die\;M\"{o}glichkeiten\;f\"{u}r$ die authentischen Kommunikation besorgen, besonders $au{\ss}erhaib$ des Unterrichts, z.B. durch das Chatting- Projekt, $w\"{a}hrend$ im Unterricht mehr $Anl\"{a}sse\;f\"{u}r$ die Reflexion gegeben sollten. Und dabei sollten die unterrichtlichen Vorteile-die gemeinsame Muttersprache und Kultur, das Alter usw. - aktiv benutzt werden. Die meisten Koreaner beginnen $n\"{a}mlich$ mit dem Lernen der zweiten Fremdsprache erst in oder nach der $Pubert\"{a}t$. In diesem Zusammenhang sollte es auch betont werden, dass sich die Autonomie der Lerner durch den Unterricht richtig entwickelt, damit sie $sp\"{a}ter$ ihre Fertigkeiten autonom entwickeln $k\"{o}nnen$.
