As an attempt to characterize the English test section of CSAT (College Scholastic Ability Test) and to get some suggestions, this study raised the research questions, as 'What are the main factors that affect students' English test scores in CSAT, and how big influences do they have?' It has been hypothesized that among main factors are the L1 competence, represented by the Korean test scores in CSAT, background knowledge or intelligence, represented by the "total" scores in CSAT, and the two types of L2 knowledge (vocabulary and grammar on one hand and prosody m the other hand), measured by the test devised specially for this study. The individual effect of the L2 vocabulary and grammar (one kind of L2 knowledge) was 70%, that of background knowledge or intelligence 61%, that of the L1 competence 50%, and that of the L2 prosody knowledge (the other kind of L2 knowledge) 32%. According to the stepwise regression, the whole effect of these four factors was 74%. The findings suggest that first, although CSAT is based on the top-down model of comprehension, the bottom-up model of learning should be more emphasized in our English class. Also, since background knowledge or intelligence is the second most influential factor, the top-down model of learning that helps students learn to understand by activating their various schemata must also be very effective.

This study investigated the relationship between young children's comprehension and story making(narrative) by age and gender. Subjects were 109 3-, 4-, and 5-year-olds at two child care centers in K Province. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and simple regression analysis. Results showed differences in comprehension between 3-, 4- and 5-year old children and differences in story making ability between 3- and 5-year-old children. Children's comprehension and story making had positive relationships. Specifically, there were significant relationships with children's comprehension and story construct concept, sentence structure level, language(vocabulary and sentence structure). In sum, the results of this study reveal that young children's comprehension ability is partially related to story making ability by age.

본 연구는 지적장애 아동을 대상으로 백색소음을 적용하여 대상자들의 쓰기 능력과 손 기능의 변화를 분석하여 백색소음의 적용에 따른 지적장애 아동의 쓰기 능력과 손 기능 변화에 대한 기초자료를 제공하고자 수행되었다. 연구대상은 지적장애 아동 12명이며, 백색소음을 적용하여 대상자들의 적용 전, 후 쓰기 능력과 손 기능을 분석하였다. 백색소음의 제공은 백색소음 발생기를 통해 연속적이며, 균일하게 제공하였다. 쓰기 능력의 분석은 KNISE-BAAT(Korea National Institute for Special Education-Basic Academic Achievement Tests) 도구를 활용하여 표기능력, 어휘구사력, 문장구사력을 평가하였다. 손 기능의 분석은 Manual Function Test(MFT) 도구의 세부항목인 Pegboard 항목을 활용하여 분석하였다. 쓰기 능력 분석결과 대상자들의 표기능력과 어휘구사력에서 통계적으로 유의미한 향상이 나타났으며, 문장구사력에서는 향상이 나타나지 않았다. 손 기능 분석결과 양손 모두 통계적으로 유의미한 향상이 나타났다. 따라서, 지적장애 아동들의 저하된 쓰기 능력과 손 기능을 향상시킬 수 있는 보상적 접근방법으로 백색소음의 적용을 고려해야 할 필요가 있다고 판단되며, 지적장애 아동들의 수행수준과 학습수준, 학업성취도를 향상시킬 수 있도록 생활공간 및 학습공간에서 백색소음의 제공을 고려해야 할 것이다.

This study examined the effects of picture storybook making activities with computer plays on children's storytelling ability and creativity. Seventy 5-year-old children from two day-care classes participated in this eight-week program. The experimental class used the computer software of 'Stanley's Sticker Stories.' The comparison class used paper and pencil. Data analysis was implemented by ANCOVA and t-test. Significant differences were found between the experimental and comparison groups in story telling ability by story structure, imagination, vocabulary, sentence structure, and creativity showing that picture storybook making activities with the computer was more effective than traditional picture storybook making activities.

This study investigated the effects of story making activity with wordless picture books on the language abilities of 5- and 6-year-old children. The 52 subjects attending a kindergarten in Kwangju were randomly assigned to an experimental group or a control group of 26 children each. The experimental group made stories with wordless picture books while the control group listened to stories. Experimental treatments were given twice a week for 6 weeks. Assessment was by The Language Comprehension-Cognition Test(1994), The Picture Vocabulary Test(1995), and The Sentence-Comprehension Test(1996). Qualitative level of the stories was analyzed by Morrow's(1985) revised Instrument Assessing Children Understanding of Stories(Chae, 1996). The vocabulary, language-comprehension, and story-composing ability of children who made stories with wordless picture books were higher than those of children who listened to stories told by teachers.

The attachment representation of 40 36- to 52-month-old upper-middle class children was analyzed in relation to their attachment security and mother-child interaction behaviors. Instruments were the Attachment Story Completion Task(Bretherton, Ridgeway, & Cassidy, 1990), the Attachment Q-set, and the Vocabulary test of the K-WIPPSI. Mother-child interaction behaviors were observed at home during semi-structured problem-solving situations. The Attachment Story Completion Task classified Korean preshoolers from these upper-middle class families as securely attached to their mothers. Girls' representation of their attachment relationship was more secure than boys. Preschoolers' attachment representation was significantly related to vocabulary ability. Attachment security correlated positively with preschool children's attachment representation. Mother-child interaction behaviors related significantly to preschool children's attachment representation.

언어학습에서 어휘는 가장 필수적이고 기본이 되는 단위임에도 불구하고 교육현장에서는 학생들에게 어휘를 지도하고 별도의 학습시간을 제공하는 경우는 매우 드물다. 어휘를 습득한다는 것은 소리 내어 말하고 듣는 과정을 통해 이루어진다. 눈으로 내용을 이해하고 암기하는 전통적인 언어 습득 방식은 분명 한계가 있을 수밖에 없다. 본 논문에서는 학습자 특성을 고려한 인지전략과 음성인식을 기반으로 한 Speaking 중심의 학습 방법을 연구하여 초등 영어 어휘 습득을 위한 인지전략 기반의 Speaking Training system을 설계하고 구현하였으며, 초등학교 5학년 두 개 학급을 선정하여 수준 테스트 후 실험 그룹과 비교 그룹으로 각각 편성하여 분석한 결과 학습자의 동기부여와 성취감을 높임으로써 학습자의 소리 영어 중심의 어휘 습득을 강화할 수 있었고, 학력향상 뿐만 아니라 학습참여도, 과제수행 정도, 흥미도 등의 자기주도적 능력까지도 향상시킬 수 있다는 놀라울만한 성과가 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 학생들의 실용적인 영어 말하기 능력을 향상시킬 것으로 기대한다.

The purpose of this research is to develop a protocol which can quantitatively evaluate cognitive ability that is needed when elderly people use mobile phone. Since previous methods for measuring the cognitive ability of elderly people was mainly for clinical evaluation, they would not be adequate to measure cognitive ability for mobile phone development. Therefore, this study suggests cognitive areas which are necessary to use the mobile phone based on the existing evaluation tools. The cognitive areas consist of language, visuospatial ability, memory, executive function and perception. New questionnaire was developed to evaluate the individual cognitive ability for the elderly. They include 9 questions for button comprehension test, 8 for icon button comprehension test, 10 for vocabulary comprehension test, 8 for menu comprehension test, 3 for icon size test, and 2 for font size test. The protocol can be used in the field although further modification may be necessary for betterment.
