  • 이 연구는 북한이탈 대학생의 대학영어 수업에서의 어려움과 요구를 분석한 후, 예비영어교사의 튜터링을 통해 영어 능숙도와 영어 학습의 정의적 측면에 어떠한 변화가 있는지를 연구하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 튜터링을 시작 전, 100명의 탈북 대학생을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였고, 그 중 희망하는 탈북 대학생은 예비 영어교사와 한 학기간 영어 학습 튜터링을 실시하였다. 탈북 학생들의 어려움과 영어 학습 요구는 양적 분석을 통해 실시하였고, 튜터링을 통한 탈북 학생의 영어 능숙도와 정의적 측면을 살펴보기 위해서는 질적 분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 탈북학생들은 영어 학습에 많은 어려움을 가지고 있으며, 영어 학습 요구도는 매우 높았다. 또한 한 학기 간의 튜터링을 통해 그들은 시기별로 네 가지의 주된 변화를 보였다. 첫째, 튜터링 시작 초반에는 영어 기초 학습의 부재로 많은 어려움을 겪었고, 둘째, 튜터링 학습을 통해 다소 영어 능숙도가 향상되는 것을 탈북 대학생 스스로 인식하기 시작하였다. 셋째, 영어 능숙도의 향상과 더불어 그들의 정의적 측면(학습 동기와 자신감)이 조금씩 향상되었고, 넷째, 튜터링이 마무리 되는 시점에서 탈북 대학생은 영어 학습의 기초적인 측면(즉, 발음과 기초 문법 등)이 좀 더 향상되었다는 점을 자각하였다. 이 연구는 북한 이탈 대학생을 지원하는 대학 내 영어 프로그램 개발에 교육적 의의를 제공할 것으로 기대된다.

  • The essay examines two different editions of Anne Askew's Examinations published in the sixteenth century: John Bale's the First Examination and the Latter Examination and John Foxe's Acts and Monuments, and argues that retelling and rewriting one's experience is the process of storytelling that necessitates the repetition and communication of the experience. The essay looks at the parts the sixteenth-century editors particularly rewrote or retold the original version, and discusses how Askew's story was retold, repeated, and communicated through various storytellers who delivered not only the original text but also the original experience toward larger audience. While attempting to interpret, analyze, and expand on the story she did not tell, or the story she could not tell, Bale and Foxe developed her personal and anecdotal story into a communal narrative to share. Bale wrote a weak woman's martyrology by adding his interpretation and analysis, showing the way for the readers to follow in understanding her enigmatic silence and gestures. On the other hand, Foxe made the story a more dramatic and more seamlessly flowing narrative of the heroic sacrifice of a martyr. Foxe filled the room left by Askew's silence with directly quoted conversations and the graphic that could help explain what was between the lines. Apart from the rewritings of the reformists, the essay focuses on the fact that the editing, rearranging, and reinterpreting process already started with Askew's own writing. Although Askew declares herself an objective recorder of the series of events, her writing is carefully constructed with complex ideological fractures and rhetorical tactics, and her experience is tailored to fit a particular purpose. Along with Bale's and Foxe's rewritings, Askew's story of a reading woman should be also read as an intentional and interpretative storytelling on her own experience.

  • 이 연구는 융합기반의 모바일영어커리큘럼을 실용에 앞서 그 가치를 입증하는 데 목적을 두고 있다. 본 연구는 모바일에 탑재되어있는 영어프로그램을 활용하여 효과적인 영어 학습이 될 수 있도록 커리큘럼을 개발하고 연구한다는 점에서 기존의 연구와 차이가 있다. 이 커리큘럼에 대한 교사의 이해와 인지 정도를 알아보기 위해 질적 연구를 수행했으며, 그 결과 영어교사들의 피드백은 실제 사용하는 영어 학습, 반복효과, 협동 학습, 자기효능감 경험 등의 대부분 긍정적 평가를 받았다. 부정적인 견해로는 전통적인 영어 학습 틀에서 벗어난 학습 환경으로 인해 학습에 임하는 '학습자들의 자세가 가벼울 수 있지 않을까?' 하는 염려가 있었다. 이 문제는 교사와 학습자 간에 온 오프라인을 통한 긴밀한 의사소통으로 해결될 수 있다. 향후 연구에서는 이 커리큘럼을 학습현장에서 활용하고 분석하는 연구가 진행되기를 기대한다.

  • The 121 five-year-old Korean subjects of this study were divided in 3 groups based on their experience in learning a foreign language (English). A battery of tests was administered to measure spoken and written language ability and the 3 metalinguistic domains of phonological, semantic, and syntactic awareness. Spoken language ability was positively correlated with semantic and syntactic awareness. The relative importance of each metalinguistic domain varied with level of written language development. Phonological awareness was the only predictor of decoding. Syntactic awareness and phonological awareness were significant variables in sentence comprehension. Metalinguistic ability was a better predictor of written language development than spoken language ability. Foreign language learning experience had an effect on syntactic awareness: low experience was superior to no experience, but high experience was not superior to low experience.

  • 같은 교실 환경에서 서로 다른 학업성취의 차이를 나타내는 원인을 학습자의 학습 동기의 차이에서 그 원인을 찾고, 통합적, 도구적 그리고 소극적 동기에서 인문학 전공 대학생들과 일반 전공 대학생들의 영어 학습 동기에 영향을 미치는 요소를 2012년 3월부터 6월까지 D대학 학생 182명을 대상으로 고찰해 보았다. 일반적으로 학습동기에 가장 영향을 미치는 요소는 좋은 직업을 얻고자하는 동기가 크게 유의했고 통합적, 도구적 그리고 소극적 동기가 모두 유의미한 결과를 가져왔으나 통합적, 도구적 동기와 달리 소극적 동기의 경우 인문학 전공학생보다는 일반 전공학생들이 더 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 인문계 학생들에게 있어서 유의미하게 작용하는 동기 요소에는 학습내용과 교사가 크게 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다.

  • Although Korean university students' primary concern is academic success in their higher degrees in the UK, they highly desire to develop English communicative competence through a number of opportunities to speak with natives speakers. The paper aims at examining to what extent they are able to be socialised into a new environment while they are studying at UK universities. The in-depth, longitudinal interviews with the targeted group of six Korean masters' students at the University of York was undertaken to observe the pace of their progress in developing social skills. Reluctance and hesitance to contact and interact with their supervisors and other academic staff persisted for most of them to the final term caused by cultural reasons such as face and hierarchy rather than language problems. Despite the six participants' variation in their patterns of social interaction, they struggled with pressures towards monoculture-biased interaction with Korean people, which was quite extreme for the five participants. This passivity can be explained by several reasons such as the students' lack of communicative competence and other situational factors on one-year course. It is important to note that students' failure to develop network with native speakers is strongly associated with experience of cultural withdrawal and frustration with developing communicative competence in English.

  • The study explores the way professors working in a private university in Korea perceive the recent English-medium instruction (EMI) frenzy in Korean higher education (HE) and the way they respond to its manifestation at their institution. Working within a qualitative research paradigm (Merriam, 2009), I gathered data primarily via one-time semi-structured interviews with ten participants who have offered or are offering EMI at the time of data collection and used a qualitative data analysis method. The findings illustrate that the professors view external factors residing outside individual universities, such as the college rankings and the university evaluation parameters, as the principal drive behind the current EMI boom in Korean tertiary education. Acknowledging the importance of strengthening the international competitive edge of Korean HE in the global era, the professors perceive the EMI policy positively expecting it to be beneficial for both students and institutions. They, however, problematize the blind acceptance of EMI policy and externally forced EMI expansion movement in Korean HE, which they believe will lower the standard of the academic experience of students. Experiencing first-hand the inadequate manifestation of the EMI policy at their university, the professors claim that a systematic long-term implementation plan and context-suitable approaches should be taken at both the national and institutional level for successful future EMI implementation and expansion efforts.

  • The Queen of the Air, John Ruskin-s highly elliptical publication of 1869, elaborates a complex mythology as a way of responding to the prevalence of scientific thinking, widespread environmental degradation, the pernicious effects of political economy, and mechanistic labor. Benjamin-s desire to rescue human experience from prevailing scientific conceptions is reminiscent of Ruskin-s fear that the peculiar power that shapes the unities of the natural world is simultaneously being "beaten down by the philosophers into a metal or evolved by them into a gas" and obscured by the dreams and theories of philosophers and theologians. As a critic remarks, in Benjamin-s-and, we would add, Ruskin-s-view, "what the modern era lacked was a basis for continuity which would prevent experience from disintegrating into a desultory and meaningless series of events." Despite its frenetic hyper-associativity, then, The Queen of the Air contains a key element that Benjamin believes is necessary for "redemption": the desire for a new form of consciousness that recognizes links to the past and thus to the longings and dreams of our forebears. Thus, although Ruskin most immediately influences Proust, who in turn influences Benjamin, Benjamin-s thought is far more Ruskinian than critics have heretofore observed. Just as Benjamin helps us make sense of the ways in which The Queen of the Air is caught in the grip of the shocking associativity of modern life, so Ruskin assists us in discerning similar impulses in Benjamin-s attraction to a form of archaic consciousness that can, by altering the modern form of perception, reenchant the present.

실용주의 환경론과 근본주의 생태론의 접점 모색 (Toward Shared Grounds Between Environmental Pragmatism and Foundationalist Ecology)

  • It is unfair that environmental pragmatism has been regarded as a mouthpiece for industrial expediency and business boosterism. John Dewey's radical pragmatism known as 'Instrumentalism' has provoked ecological fundamentalists' criticism more vehemently than any other pragmatic philosophies. However, most of the presumptive misunderstandings of such critics as Holmes Rolston, J. Baird Calliott, Erich Katz, C. A. Bowers and many others come from their limited or reduced reading of Deweyan pragmatism. The following three aspects of Deweyan pragmatism can work out in opening up a dialogical space with those eco-centrist thinkers mentioned above. First, the concept of Dewey's 'primary experience' can articulate the foundationalist view of nature, which is often found in aboriginal cultures. Second, as Andrew Light points out, ecological essentialism can share its metaphilosophical position with the pragmatist epistemology. While Anthony Weston pursues pluralism, admitting that the foundationalism might be one of the efficient approaches to nature, Eric Katz is also clearly attracted to the metaphilosophical element in Weston's argument that anyone who attempts to claim the 'inherent value' of non-human nature never possibly avoids a pitfall of anthropomorphism. Lastly, in a more comprehensive perspective, Dewey's pragmatism shows a philosophical complexity, what Larry A. Hickman calls 'post-postmodernism.' a dynamic interaction between modernism and postmodernism. Significantly enough, the environmental version of this complexity can procure a meeting ground between foundationalist ecology and the pragmatic view of nature.
