In this paper, we design andimplement a prototype of the distant ITS (Intelligent tutoring system): English tutor which is running on the information superhighway. It is designed for the purpose of teaching the english conversation effectively to the students whose mother tongues are not english. The tutor could chosse appropriate tutoring strategies and teach the students effectively according to the contents of the student model. And also it is based on the remote data management client/Server model and implemented on SPARC station and pentium PC using oracle 7.3 and power Builder 5.0.

In an attempt to identify highly probable causes of poor EFL performances, certain intriguing data of 11 common errors collected from 23 university students' listening and reading for correction of a short conversation of three people, with a questionnaire regarding their knowledge of the situational context, were analysed and interpreted within a theoretical framework of consciousness and the intonation unit (Chafe 1974, 1980, 1994), compatible with some important philosophical and psychological theories. The results: situational understanding does not always guarantee good EFL performances; the 11 errors were not attributable to hearing problems; consciousness appropriate for literacy and formal schooling appeared to be the major cause, which was inappropriate for a communicative use of English. Re-shaping of consciousness was suggested, with a warning against the ‘grammar consciousness raising’ approach.

In English, a focused word with new information receives a pitch accent. This paper examines how English native speakers and Korean speakers produce and perceive focus in English yes-no questions. The production experiments show that native speakers realize an appropriate intonation of yes-no questions, in which a focused word has a low pitch accent followed by a high phrasal accent and a high boundary tone. However, Korean speakers usually give a high tone to a focused word. In a like manner, the perception experiments show that English native speakers judge a word with a low tone to be focused, while Korean speakers have difficulty in comprehending a focused word realized as a low tone. And it is found that Korean speakers tend to perceive low tones on sentence initial and final focused words better than those on sentence medial focused words, and they often perceive a word with a relatively high fundamental frequency or a sharp rise of fundamental frequency as a focused word. This paper shows that Korean speakers have trouble to produce and perceive an appropriate tonal pattern of a focused yes-no question, and that can cause confusion in a conversation with native speakers.

S 대학교 교양필수 과목인 영어회화는 영어교육을 강화하기 위해 블렌디드 학습으로 설계되었다. 이 블렌디드 학습이 학습자의 학업성취도에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위해 학업성취도의 변인에 대한 연구가 진행되었다. 연구결과로 성별, 전공, 군복무, 해외거주 경험, 면대면 출석, 퀴즈, 온라인 출석이 학업성취도에 영향을 미치고 온라인 학습방식(학습장소, 학습시간, 학습빈도)은 학업성취도와 상관이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 온라인 학습만족도는 강사 만족도, 학습내용 만족도, 시스템 만족도로 나누어 조사했는데, 그 결과 단지 시스템 만족도만 학업성취도에 영향을 미친 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 성인 영어 학습자의 말하기 숙련도 향상을 위한 영어교수법을 제안하고 있다. 패턴 위주의 문장암기나 문법 규칙 중심의 대화식 영어회화 교육 방법을 탈피하여 스토리텔링 기법을 적용한 영어 말하기 교수 방법론을 소개하고 있다. 스토리텔링 중심의 영어 말하기 교수법의 이론적 타당도를 세 가지 측면에서 살펴본다. 말하기의 목적 즉, 자신의 생각을 적절히 설득적으로 표현하고 자신의 의견을 나눌 수 있기 위해서는 먼저 풍부한 담화량의 확보가 관건이다. 이를 위하여 이야기 구성요소 중심의 말하기 전략 12가지를 소개하고, 말하기 학습에 적용해 보고 있다. 다음으로, 수사학적 차원에서 설득적인 말하기를 위한 전략을 살펴본다. 아리스토텔레스의 설득적인 말하기를 위한 수사학적 5대 영역을 중심으로 스토리텔링 기법의 말하기와의 관련성을 찾아본다. 끝으로, 교육 현장에서 스토리텔링 중심의 영어 교수법 적용의 가능성을 살펴본다. 외국어 학습자로서의 언어 숙련도가 모국어 수준과 다르다는 이유만으로 위와 같은 스토리텔링 기법의 영어 말하기 교수가 교육 현장에서 실현될 수 있을까에 관한 의문에 학습자 전략 사용 양상을 살펴봄으로써 이에 대한 실현 가능성을 긍정적으로 기대한다.

The scores of TOEFL, TOEIC and TEPS have been increasingly used for many purposes in Korea In particular, these test scores are being used as a measure of the test-takers' overall communicative competence. Nonetheless, few studies have been conducted that investigate the validity of the test scores used for this purpose. As a preliminary step to explore the validity of the test scores, we conducted a small scale study by comparing 30 university students' scores in TOEFL, TOElC and TEPS with their class performances in English conversation and composition courses. The correlations between the test scores and the grade point averages of the courses show that the test scores are much harder to use as a valid measure of test-takers' overall communicative competence than usually thought to be and that the score in TOEFL is, nonetheless, a more reliable measure than the ones in the other tests. Although tins study has a few limitations such as the small number of participants, the homogeneity of the sample as a group, etc, it provides some insight into the use of the three tests for measurement of overall communicative proficiency and suggests need for conducting further validation studies in these areas.

Not fully satisfied with the treatment of the so-called two nows in Korean by Lee & Choi (2009), this article seeks to furnish the issue with a firmer ground to base on in the relevant conversation. A close comparison between now and cikum appearing in the present perfect and present tense results in the two findings that (i) a crucial difference between the two adverbs is that Korean cikum lacks English now's ability to be identified with the reference time and (ii) further, seeming differences between them are not real but in fact due to tense and aspectual discrepancies between English and Korean. Thus, it claims, contra Lee (1976) and Park (2004), that cikum is a temporal locating adverb which invariably locates the event time of a given eventuality at the utterance time. In particular, it motivates that a past-tensed sentence with cikum should be understood as holding in the recent past mainly from pragmatic inferences rather than semantic entailments.

These days, interest and demand on smart learning has rapidly increased. Video English and mobile system based English speaking service have become popular. This study gave prototype of application to give and take voice message with world people and to give new concept of voice pen-pal beyond exchange of text messages. In modern society having rapidly increasing demand on smart learning, you can study foreign language by smart phone and communicate with foreigners by voice anytime and anywhere. The app allows global exchange to learn conversation. Recruitment of initial users and profit model have problems. We shall develop to improve problems and to solve difficulty.

While use of computers to teach English in a conventional educational environment promotes motivation and effective learning in students, the method generates problems such as provision of learning materials without consideration of teaching methods and evaluation without consideration of individual differences in students. To solve these problems and produce a superior system, we propose knowledge representation of expert module for an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS).

The present design, which is the result of English Zone Project for 'I' Girls' High School in Yeonsu dong, Incheon, purposed to produce atmosphere like a cafe so that students can attempt more comfortable and diverse learning methods, breaking away from the structure and atmosphere of traditional language labs while providing functions such as experiential learning, teaching learning and native speaker conversation. In addition, it applied colors close to primary colors so that students throw away their fixed idea of language lab as a special class and access it easily at any time. Moreover, it was designed for the maximum changeability using foldable and portable furniture so that various types of group study can be performed. Ultimately the design project is expected to suggest methods of experiential learning distinguished from existing knowledge delivering education as it provides teaching learning methods beyond simple interior design.
