Korean students with much exposure to the relatively slow and clear speech used in most English classes in Korea can be expected to have difficulty understanding the casual style that is common in the everyday speech of English speakers. This research attempted to investigate an effective way to utilize casual speech in English education, by exploring the way different speech styles (clear vs. casual) affect Korean learners' comprehension of spoken English. Twenty Korean university students and two native speakers of English participated in a listening session. The English utterances were produced in different speech styles (clear slow, casual slow, clear fast, and casual fast). The Korean students were divided into two groups by English proficiency level. The results showed that the Korean students achieved 69.4% comprehension accuracy, while the native speakers of English demonstrated almost perfect results. The Korean students (especially the low-proficiency group) had more problems perceiving function words than they did perceiving content words. Responding to the different speech styles, the high-proficiency group had more difficulty listening to utterances with phonological variation than they did listening to utterances produced at a faster speed. The low-proficiency group, however, struggled with utterances produced at a faster speed more than they did with utterances with phonological variation. The pedagogical implications of the results are discussed in the concluding section.

The research was conducted by literature review and empirical research and photographs of winter street style were directly taken by a digital camera from December 28, 2008 to January 8, 2009. The survey was made at 9~11 A.M., 12~1 P.M., and 3~5 P.M. during midweek and weekend. Then 530 photographs(265 each city) of women of the 20s and 30s were selected by random sampling and five fashion professional including this researcher classified styles in accord with majority opinion on careful investigation. The results of comparing the 2008 winter street fashion in Beijing and Seoul show the highest frequency of easy casual style. In detail, while high frequency was found in romantic, classic, feminine, and romantic casual style in Seoul, easy casual and character casual style was prevalent in Beijing. The same frequency of sport casual style illustrates no differences between two cities. Unlike the prediction of the fashion industry that the preference of sport casual style would be increased under the influence of the Beijing Olympics 2008, high preference of easy casual reflects that Chinese women were more sensitive to the changes of their consumption trend. In clothing color, the achromatic color was prevalent in street style in Seoul, whereas multi-color were preferred in Beijing, suggesting a great difference. In the case of accessories, both areas preferred a tot bag but Beijing women preferred active shoulder bag and cross bag in sport casual style. Seoul women preferred pumps and sneakers, whereas Beijing women liked boots of different length according to style.

본 논문은 스프라이트 킷을 활용한 캐주얼 게임의 제작과정을 기술하고 있다. 최근 개인용 근접미디어 및 소셜 네트워크 사용의 보편화로 부상한 캐주얼 게임은 게임 산업의 질적 다변화와 게임의 대중화를 유도했다는 점에서 중요한 의미를 가진다. 이러한 배경에서 캐주얼 게임에 대한 이론적 고찰을 통해 캐주얼 게임 제작 프로세스를 3단계로 나누어 제시하고, 스프라이트 킷을 활용하여 게임 '라운드 앤 라운드'를 제작하였다. 또한 캐주얼 게임 프로덕션 과정을 구조 설계, 화면 구성 및 디자인, 전체프로그램 개발, 디버깅의 단계로 구분하여 정리하였다. 본 연구는 캐주얼 게임제작에 보다 쉽게 접근할 수 있도록 하나의 방법론을 제시함으로써 개인 혹은 소규모 인원들이 게임을 개발하는데 가이드라인이 되고자 하는 본질적인 목적에 부합했다고 판단된다.
