This study aims to discuss the basic foundations to set levels and language skills for developing a Korean Proficiency Test for young and adolescent learners. Recently, there has been an increase in demand regarding young and adolescent learners from multicultural and overseas backgrounds. However, the current Korean Proficiency Test lacks the appropriate means to determine the Korean proficiency of young and adolescent learners with general purposes of language learning. Therefore, there is an urgent need for developing a specialized and new form of language assessment for young and adolescent learners who are exposed to a foreign language or a second language learning environment. The study examines and analyzes cases of foreign language examinations for young & adolescent learners; furthermore, the objectives and target were set based on the results of a needs analysis and in-depth interviews conducted among teachers and education officials in overseas Korean Hangeul Schools, international schools, elementary and secondary schools. Finally, the levels and language skills appropriate for the objectives of a proficiency test and target learners have been suggested.

The main purpose of the article is to study the peculiarities of the work of the Ukrainian language in the upper grades of the lyceum based on the activity approach. Despite the fact that a number of scientific studies and applied developments on teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language have recently appeared in Ukrainian linguistics, significant problems in this area should be recognized (organization of the educational process when learning a language as a foreign language, general methodological principles, psycho- and sociolinguistic foundations, communicative approaches), the non-resolution of which leads to methodologically unreasonable teaching of the Ukrainian language as a foreign language, the use of methods of teaching the language as a native language or the study of the language as a subject (linguistic aspect). In addition, due attention is not paid to the development of communication skills, which, firstly, worsens the quality of teaching and learning. Based on the results of the analysis, the key aspects of the work on the Ukrainian language in the senior classes of the lyceum were analyzed on the basis of an activity approach.

This paper attempts to discuss the complex nature of social contexts regarding English language education in Korean middle school and to demonstrate the affective factors that should be considered to find appropriate approaches within the context. To do this, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 85 middle school students regarding learners' motivation, and attitudes toward EFL learning. Additionally, teachers in secondary school were asked about the general circumstances of English language education. Findings indicate that in spite of the participants' high instrumental motivation, they rather show a negative attitude toward English learning. This paper intends to raise practitioners' attention to the fact that the effect of learners' affective variables on EFL learning seems distinctive depending on the host country's EFL contexts.

본 연구는 팬데믹 시대의 온라인 대학교육에서 대학생의 자기결정성이 외국어 학습신념과 학습 성과에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구대상으로는 천안소재 대학교의 재학생을 대상으로 107명에 대하여 설문조사를 실시하였으며 분석방법으로는 SPSS 21.0을 활용하여 기술통계량, 상관분석 및 회귀분석을 통해 최종분석을 하였다. 본 연구결과는 대학생의 자기결성성과 외국어 학습신념 및 학습 성과는 정적 상관관계로 나타났으며 자기결정성 또한 외국어 학습신념과 학습 성과에 유의미한 영향을 미친다고 나타났다. 본 연구를 통하여 온라인 교육을 통한 교수자와의 상호작용이 어려운 상황에서 대학생들의 자기결정성의 촉진할 수 있는 방법과 전략을 모색하여 지속적으로 의지가 필요한 외국어 능력과 학습 성과를 향상시킬 수 있도록 조력하고자 한다.

구성주의 관점에 의하면 수학적 지식은 교사가 일방적으로 전수하는 것이 아니라 학생들이 자발적인 방법으로 스스로의 지식을 형성해 가는 것이다. 특히 사회적 구성주의에서는 사회구성원간의 의사소통을 통해 수학지식이 형성됨을 강조하고 있다. 일반적으로 학생들의 의사소통은 소집단 협동학습의 환경에서 가장 활발하게 이루어진다. 문제해결을 위해 학생들은 각자의 생각을 교환하고 자유롭게 질문하며 상호간의 사고와 개념을 명확하게 하고 의미 있는 방법으로 서로의 학습에 도움을 주게 된다. 본 연구에서는 6학년 학생들이 수학적 논의를 하는 과정에서 사용하는 의사소통의 수단을 언어와 행동의 관점으로 분석하여 매 수업 장면에서는 관찰하기 어려운 소집단 협동학습 내의 집단적인 역학관계를 파악하고자 한다.

For human beings, language is the most important means of communication. Bloom and Lahey see successful language development as an interaction between form, content, and use. Language knowledge is a social phenomenon produced in a socio-cultural environment through interaction. Teachers have traditionally concentrated on the structure of their student's writing rather than on the message. If writing is to be seen as an interactive social process between humans, it is the content which is responded to. Language acquisition could be a major problem for hearing-impaired children and their acquisition of written language is characteristically problematic. This study is to search the use of microcomputers in written conversational methods, which enable the hearing-impaired student to hear their conversations in a visual form and which usefully extend their written language learning opportunities.

I report on the case of a polyglot ‘savant’ (C), who is mildly autistic, severely apraxic, and of limited intellectual ability; yet who can read, write, speak and understand about twenty languages. I outline his abilities, both verbal and non-verbal, noting the asymmetry between his linguistic ability and his general intellectual inability and, within the former, between his unlimited morphological and lexical prowess as opposed to his limited syntax. I then spell out the implications of these findings for modularity. C's unique profile suggested a further project in which we taught him British Sign Language. I report on this work, paying particular attention to the learning and use of classifiers, and discuss its relevance to the issue of modality: whether the human language faculty is preferentially tied to the oral domain, or is ‘modality-neutral’ as between the spoken and the visual modes.

The reason of the confusion of learners about the logic concepts such as implication, necessary condition and sufficient condition can be analyzed from the point of view of history of logic, discrepancy between ordinary language and formal logic, and reification which occurs in the process of cognition of discursive object and also indicates the necessity of a research. This study analysed the difficulties related to study and implication concept and attempted to the reflection of textbook and curriculum. Not that ordinary language makes the introduction of formal language easier, but that this study discussed the possibilities ordinary language intervenes the learning of formal language. This study additionally intended to understand learning difficulties of concrete subjects, abstract subjects and the gap between primary object and discursive object by understanding the process of sagging, encapsulating and reifying.

In this paper, we propose a language modeling approach to improve the performance of a large vocabulary continuous speech recognition system. The proposed approach is based on the active learning framework that helps to select a text corpus from a plenty amount of text data required for language modeling. The perplexity is used as a measure for the corpus selection in the active learning. From the recognition experiments on the task of continuous Korean speech, the speech recognition system employing the language model by the proposed language modeling approach reduces the word error rate by about 6.6 % with less computational complexity than that using a language model constructed with randomly selected texts.

Deaf people who use sign language as their first language sometimes have difficulty communicating because they do not know spoken Korean. Deaf people are also members of society, so we must support to create a society where everyone can live together. In this paper, we present a method to increase the recognition rate of Korean sign language using a CNN model. When the original image was used as input to the CNN model, the accuracy was 0.96, and when the image corresponding to the skin area in the YCbCr color space was used as input, the accuracy was 0.72. It was confirmed that inserting the original image itself would lead to better results. In other studies, the accuracy of the combined Conv1d and LSTM model was 0.92, and the accuracy of the AlexNet model was 0.92. The CNN model proposed in this paper is 0.96 and is proven to be helpful in recognizing Korean sign language.
