본 논문에서는 최근에 외국어로서의 한국어 학습 수요가 증가하고 있는 현실을 반영하여, 한국어를 외국어로 사용하는 한국어 수요자의 접근성을 고려한 초보적인 한국어 읽기 학습을 지원하는 학습지원 시스템을 설계하여 제시한다. 우리나라는 경제개발에 성공하고 주요 기간산업에서 세계적인 기업이 탄생하여 세계적으로 관심을 끌고 있다. 이런 현상에 따라서 결혼 이민자는 물론 국내 산업체에 취업하기 위해 입국하는 동남아시아를 중심으로 하는 근로자는 물론 첨단산업에 종사하기 위해 고학력의 외국인들이 많이 입국하고 있으며, k-pop을 비롯한 '한류'에 대한 관심이 고조되어, 다양한 국가의 다양한 계층에서 한국어에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 이와 같은 현실에 비하여 특히 경제력과 학습수준이 낮은 외국인들은 정규적인 교육의 기회를 갖지 못하게 되어 여러 가지의 문제를 야기하고 있다. 이런 현실을 반영하여 초보적인 한국어 학습, 특히 읽기 학습을 지원하는 한국어 이러닝 시스템을 설계하여 제시하였다.

Based on the given data if three experiments that measured word-by-word reading times of the Korean relative-clause sentences,parsing strategies and performance structures in comprehending Korean sentences were suggested.First,results of the significantily longer reading time of nouns than verbs suggested that Korean parsing processing would be primarily occurred at nouns.Seond,four parsing strategies were proposed to explain increased reading times,working memory loads,and parallel function effects.Third,performance structures of sentence comprehension were constructed from the interword reading time differences.The proposed strategies and structures seem to account for the patterns of word-by-word reading times of the five types of the Korean relative-clause se various ideas for further experimentation were discussed.

It is very important for Academic purpose Korean leaner to understand main ideas and overall context of texts. In order to understand the overall context and mail ideas of text, learners need output task, ways to perform what they are learning, such as retelling. That would help them to realize that there is a gap between what they have understood and what they can actually speak or write. These out activities help learners comprehend the text more efficiently, while at the same time raising their confidence level. The purpose of this study was to develop an education plan to improve reading comprehension ability by using retelling activity. To achieve the purpose of the study, retelling activity, which makes it easier to take an integrated approach to language function and is considered to be relatively effective, was utilized because of the characteristics of retelling activity education instead of teacher-centered education methods.

The purpose of this study is to observe the effects of text modification by comparing differences in Korean reading comprehension levels that arise from differences in vocabulary levels in texts. This study intends to use simplified texts with the vocabulary difficulty adjusted differently from the original text to measure reading comprehension levels of Korean learners and analyze the result. To measure reading comprehension, the researcher divided 55 Korean learners of intermediate to advanced level of fluency into two groups; the control group read the original text and the treatment group read a simplified text in which complex vocabulary were substituted with easier words of medium difficulty. Then the two groups were tested with the same questionnaire to measure comprehension levels of each group. The result showed that the groups that read simplified texts scored higher than the control group; this suggests that the reading comprehension level was increased in the treatment group. The experiment confirmed that unknown vocabulary density has direct impact on Korean reading comprehension. The result shows that the proportion of unknown vocabulary should be reduced for meaning-focused reading. It also demonstrates that comprehension of the learner was enhanced with lexical simplification rather than structural simplification i.e. simplification of grammar or sentences. Thus, diverse reading materials adjusted to the learners' level of fluency should be developed to enable reading for learning Korean. By reducing the burden of understanding the meaning of each vocabulary, learners will be able to achieve the initial goal of reading.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the risk factors of depression in elementary school students in Korea. The subjects of the study were 23,291 elementary school students (12,016 male, 11,275 female) aged 9 to 12 years. Dependent variable was defined as experience of depression. Explanatory variables were included as sex, residential areas, social discrimination experience, experience of school violence for the past year, experience of Korean language education, experience of using multicultural family support center, reading to Korean, speaking to Korean, and writing to Korean, listening to Korean. In the RBF neural network analysis, experience of Korean education, experience of school violence, experience of Korean social discrimination, level of Korean reading were significantly associated with depression in elementary school students. In order to prevent depression in multicultural children, priority attention and counseling are needed for the group whose level of Korean reading is low.

This study investigates issues in relation to text segmenting, in particular, line breaks in Korean language textbooks. Research on L1 and L2 reading has shown that readers process texts by chunking (grouping words into phrases or meaningful syntactic units) and, therefore, phrase-cued texts are helpful for readers whose syntactic knowledge has not yet been fully developed. In other words, it would be important for language textbooks to avoid awkward syntactic divisions at the end of a line, in particular, those textbooks for beginners and intermediate level learners. According to our analysis of a number of major Korean language textbooks for beginner-level learners, however, many textbooks were found to display line-breaks of awkward syntactic division. Moreover, some textbooks displayed frequent instances where a single word (or eojeol in the case of Korean) is split between different lines. This can hamper not only learners' learning of the rules of spaces between eojeols in Korean, but also learners' development in automatic word recognition, which is an essential part of reading processes. Based on the findings of our textbook analysis and of existing research on reading, this study suggests ways to overcome awkward line-breaks in Korean language textbooks.

This study investigated the contribution of Korean phonological awareness to English phonological awareness and the relations of phonological awareness with reading and writing in Korean Hangul and English among Korean 5th graders. With age and vocabulary knowledge statistically controlled, Korean phonological awareness was transferred to English phonological awareness. Specifically, syllable and phoneme awareness in Korean transferred to syllable awareness in English, and Korean phoneme awareness transferred to English phoneme awareness. In addition, English phoneme awareness independently explained significant variance of reading and writing in Korean and English after controlling for age and vocabulary. Syllable awareness in Korean and English explained Hangul reading and writing, respectively. The results suggest cross-language transfer of phonological awareness that is a metalinguistic skill. Phoneme awareness is important in reading and writing in English whereas both of syllable and phoneme awareness are important in literacy of Korean.

The purpose of this study was to establish a Korean reading ability assessment category based on a reading comprehension theory, and to establish an evaluation framework for Korean reading ability after creating the evaluation factors corresponding to each category through expert Delphi survey. The three levels of reading comprehension that were constructed are the following: language knowledge, text comprehension, and interpretation and comprehension of new ideas and application. This study suggested that constructs of Korean reading assessment reflected reading theory. This study has meaningful consequences which suggest verified constructs through Delphi surveys.

이 논문은 문장음성 변환시스템인 글소리II를 위한 읽기규칙에 관한 것이다. 읽기규칙이란 텍스트를 소리나는대로 읽어주는 모든 처리를 말한다. 읽기규칙의 가장 대표적인 음운변동규칙을 비롯하여 모음의 발음, 장음처리, 숫자읽기, 약어 및 기호읽기 등이 포함된다. 이 논문에서는 음운변동규칙을 6개의 대규칙과 22개의 소규칙으로 정리하고, 대규칙들 사이의 적용순서를 정의하였다. 그리고 단어의 장단이 중시되는 우리말의 특성을 반영할 수 있도록 장음처리부분을 추가하였다. 위의 읽기규칙으로 처리할 수 없는 부분에 대해서는 예외발음사전을 이용하고 있다.

가독성이란 글을 읽음에 있어 얼마나 쉽게 쓰여졌는가, 얼마나 흥미로운가의 정도를 나타낸다. 기존 연구에서는 가독성을 측정함에 있어 인쇄물에 한정하고 글의 구성 관점에서만을 반영하였다. 하지만, 글은 인쇄물뿐만 아니라 모바일, 태블릿 등 다양한 읽기 매체를 통해 읽어질 수 있으며 글의 흥미에 따라 가독성이 달라지므로 기존의 연구 방법으로는 적절히 반영할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 읽기 매체에 따라 가독성이 어떻게 달라지는지, 가독성을 측정함에 있어 관점들이 어떻게 반영되는지를 살펴보고자 한다. 서로 다른 읽기 매체들을 사용하여 동일한 뉴스 기사에 대해 가독성을 측정하였으며, 측정된 결과를 사용하여 각 읽기 매체가 가독성를 측정하는 요소들 중 어떤 요소에 큰 영향을 받는지를 살펴본다. 또한, 가독성을 측정함에 있어 글의 구성뿐만 아니라 흥미 관점을 추가하였으며, 이로부터 가독성의 요소들이 글의 구성 관점과 흥미 관점에서 어떠한 차이점을 보이는지 살펴본다.
