This study was carried out to examine the converging factors related to academic burnout in students from health-related majors who are involved in studying for the Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC). Research subjects included 291 randomly selected students from the J-region, who were enrolled in TOEIC classes. Data collection took place from April 3, 2017 to April 14, 2017, using anonymous self-administered questionnaires. The results of a multiple regression analysis in female students showed higher academic burnout pertaining to studying for the TOEIC when sleeping hours, self-worth, self-efficacy, school adaptation resilience, and study immersion were low, and job-seeking stress and test anxiety were high. The explanatory power of this model was 65%. Based on these results, to reduce academic burnout pertaining to studying for the TOEIC in health majors, it is first necessary to increase sleeping hours, self-worth, self-efficacy, school adaptation resilience, and study immersion, and to make efforts to manage self-competence, job-seeking stress, and test anxiety. The results of this study may be used to decrease the academic burnout caused by studying for the TOEIC in health major students and to increase their aptitude for studying English, to cultivate globalized capabilities. Future studies need to conduct an effect analysis on the control and mediation effect that these factors have on academic burnout.

The purpose of this paper is to compare and analyze TOEIC scores of two kinds of courses opened at a university and the distribution of TOEIC scores of two groups. In addition, this paper will examine the ability of participants and the used instructional materials and equipment. The university has two kinds of TOEIC courses; one is a four-week intensive course opened in summer and winter vacations, where students participate in the classes from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The other is a regular TOEIC course, offering one-hour class every day from Monday to Friday during the university semester (15 weeks). This paper points out how important, the EFL/ESL teacher education, teaching materials, teaching methods and e-learning in operating more effective classes. The intensive TOEIC course and the regular TOEIC course include 120 hours and 75 hours a semester, respectively. Unfortunately, both courses have such a limited amount of time that students cannot achieve their fluent and perfect command of English. For Korean student to master English in a limited amount of both time and resources, the development of effective and qualitative EFL/ESL Intensive courses is essential.

최근 글을 이해하고 답을 추론하는 연구들이 많이 이루어지고 있으며, 대표적으로 기계 독해 연구가 존재한다. 기계 독해와 관련하여 다양한 데이터셋이 공개되어 있지만, 과거에서부터 현재까지 사람의 영어 능력 평가를 위해 많이 사용되고 있는 토익에 대해서는 공식적으로 공개된 데이터셋도 거의 존재하지 않으며, 이를 위한 연구 또한 활발히 진행되고 있지 않다. 이에 본 연구에서는 현재와 같이 데이터가 부족한 상황에서 기계 독해 모델의 성능을 향상시키기 위한 데이터 증강 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 제안하는 방법은 WordNet을 이용하여 유의어 및 반의어를 기반으로 굉장히 간단하면서도 효율적으로 실제 토익 문제와 유사하게 데이터를 증강하는 것이며, 실험을 통해 해당 방법의 유의미함을 확인하였다. 우리는 본 연구를 통해 토익에 대한 데이터 부족 문제를 해소하고, 사람 수준의 우수한 성능을 얻을 수 있도록 한다.
