This study investigates the effect of peer tutoring and peer tutor training program on Korean university students' EFL writing. Six tutors and twelve tutees have participated in the experiment. The tutors were divided into untrained and trained groups each of which was assigned to teach six tutees. The three peer tutors in the experimental group received training on how to give peer tutoring. After the pre-test, the tutees wrote series of drafts on three topics and received written feedback from their peer tutors via email. The results of the post-test showed improvement in writing scores in both groups. The tutees in the trained peer tutor group, however, showed much greater improvement. Their improvement was also more consistent, and the score differences between the two groups increased over time. Analysis of the peer tutors' written feedback indicated that the trained tutors focused more on the higher order concerns in writing than the untrained ones did. In the questionnaire all tutees responded positively to the peer tutoring experience. The results indicate that peer tutor training programs may have beneficial effects on Korean university students' writing abilities especially in the elements of higher order concerns.

This study aims to develop a training program to strengthen the competency of peer tutors at A University and to establish a sustainable system. It was conducted in the process of developing, operating, evaluating, modifying, and supplementing the curriculum for about two years from January 2019 to February 2022. In-depth interviews, surveys, literature reviews, and expert surveys were used as research methods. The research results can be summarized as follows. First, by combining in-depth interviews and ranking of educational needs of peer tutors' competencies, the researchers designed peer tutors training curriculum and certification system, and these were certified by conducting expert surveys. Second, from March 2020 to the end of February 2022, peer tutor training and certification system were operated, and as a result of a satisfaction survey of students, 4.33 points on average in 2020 and 4.61 points on average in 21, indicating high satisfaction. Finally, the implications were discussed for establishing peer tutor training programs and system in universities.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of private tutor's job stress on the organizational commitment and turn-over intention and to verify the mediating effect of the organizational commitment. The questionnaire survey was peformed for 332 private tutors in special education region in Seoul. The collected data were used as a model of path coefficients obtained through analysis of structure equation model(SEM) and hypothesis verification. The result of the verification is as follows. First, both stress by student and stress by administrative support showed statistically significant negative effects on the organizational commitment. Second, the private tutor's organizational commitment showed a statistically significant negative effects on the turn-over intention. Third, both stress by task and stress by conflict in organization showed statistically significant positive effects on the turn-over intention. Fourth, even if both stress by student and stress by administrative support showed statistically no significant effects on the turn-over intention, they showed statistically significant effects on the turn-over intention with the mediating effect of the organizational commitment. It was confirmed that the turn-over intention can be decreased by relief of the private tutor's job stress and enhancement of the organizational commitment. In this process, it is meaningful to verify the role and function of the private tutor's organizational commitment.

The purpose of this study is to develop and implement the Appropriate Technology Science School program (ATSS) for youth operated by the Europe-Korea Conference on Science & Technology (EKC) since 2016. The development process consisted of pre-online management meetings, online and offline tutor training, operation of ATSS for youth, and satisfaction surveys. As a result of the development, the management team selected the mission-solving theme of "Transforming village using blockchain technology" through a pre-online meeting. The contents were reorganized according to the level of the participating tutees, and various learning activities such as co-building activities, games, and plays were newly introduced and developed first, and the programs developed through tutor training were demonstrated and improved. A total of 38 tutees and tutors from 6 countries participated in the 2018 ATSS. As a result, participants showed positive satisfaction overall. Tutees showed interest in dome co-building activities and hash function calculation activities, and tutors showed interest in lectures and monopoly games related to blockchain technology. The development and of the 2018 ATSS will contribute to the improvement of expertise in the operation of the EKC ATSS in the future to the management team. It will be an opportunity for tutors to experience that high-tech science and technology have a good impact on appropriate technology for the third world and community society. In addition, Tutees will be provided with an opportunity to indirectly experience the local situation and community society through a role play on the impact of blockchain technology on African villages.

This study carried out an experimental English pronunciation assessment to see the differences in the relationship between the different rater categories. The result shows that i) correlation between Korean and Native American raters is high(r=.98) enough to be considered reliable, ii) previous instructions about assessment rubric and the knowledge about English phonetics and phonology exert little influence on the rating scores, iii) correlation between the automatic ILT(Interactive Language Tutor) rating using speech recognition technology and Natives' rating is stronger than that between ILT and Koreans' rating.

인터넷의 발달로 등장한 가상강의에서는 기존의 교사중심의 강의가 아닌 학습자의 입장을 고려할 수 있는 강의를 요구하게 되었다. 이런 관점에서 학습이 이루어지기 위해서는 학습자의 지식수준과 이해력 그리고 학습자가 처해 있는 환경에 대한 배려가 필요하다. 학습자가 학습을 진행함에 있어서 학습의 계획을 설정하고 학습방법을 제시해 주는 역할을 수행하는 교사가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이런 교사로서의 역할을 수행하는 Tutor 에이전트를 제안한다. Tutor 에이전트는 학습형태를 난이도별로 나누고 학습자에 맞는 난이도의 학습을 선택한다. 그리고 Tutor 에이전트는 학습자의 학습결과를 추론 알고리즘으로 학습자 수준을 결정하여 새로운 학습모델을 구성한다. 새롭게 구성된 학습모델은 학습자의 수준에 적응하는 학습이 이루어지게 한다.
