  • 21세기 지식기반사회에서는 국가 경쟁력의 척도가 그 나라가 보유한 지식의 가치 창조력이라 할 수 있다. 한국의 국가 및 민간 연구개발(R&D) 투자액은 세계에서 상위를 차지하고 있고, 한국은 선진국과 함께 미래기술을 개발할 수 있는 과학기술선진국으로 분류되어 있다. 그러나 과학기술 글로벌화 수준은 OECD 국가 중 최저 수준에 머물러 있다. 이 논문에서 한국 과학기술 정보를 해외로 유통시키기 위해 비영어권 국가들의 과학기술정보 국제화 노력을 살펴보고, 현재 KISTI가 추진중인 글로벌 유통체제인 KoreaScience를 소개한다.

  • This study was conducted with the aim of exploring ways to more effectively manage related courses by checking the educational effects of the operation of engineering liberal arts courses operated for the development of communication skills of engineering students by detailed factors of communication skills. To achieve the purpose of the study, literature review and survey methodologies were used. A survey was conducted before and after class targeting four class students of the engineering college of D University in Gyeonggi-do. As a result of comparing the results of the pre-test before class through this class and the results of the post-test conducted at the end of the class, it was confirmed that speaking ability, reading ability, and communication ability were improved at a statistically significant level. In addition, as a result of analyzing differences in communication competencies for each individual variable, it was found that there were statistically significant differences according to gender, students' major field, and grade. Based on such research results, several educational proposals were presented to increase the effectiveness of the management of courses operated to develop communication skills.

  • 영재교육은 개인이 가진 능력을 최대한 계발하여 자아를 실현하고, 국가 사회가 필요로 하는 인재 육성의 육성이라는 점에서 그 중요성이 강조되어 왔다. 영재교육이 활성화되기 위해서는 제도적인 측면과 함께 그들의 능력수준과 학습욕구에 적합한 영재교육 프로그램이 개발되어야 한다. 이 연구에 참여한 언어 영재 학생은 총 60명인데, 이 중에서 예비 연구에 참여한 30명은 연구자가 개발한 심화학습 프로그램과 언어 문제해결력 검사의 양호도를 평가하기 위한 대상이었고, 실험집단 30명은 10명씩 세 집단으로 나누어 각 집단에 한국교육 개발원 교재, 연구자가 개발한 심화학습 프로그램, 국어 교과서 심화학습 프로그램에 배정하여 프로그램간의 유의도를 비교 검증하였다. 결과를 종합하면, 언어 영재학생에게 연구자가 개발한 체계화된 개별화 심화학습 프로그램을 제공하면 언어 창의적 문제해결력이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. 한국교육개발원 언어 영재 교재나 국어 교과서 심화학습도 언어 영재에게 읽기 능력을 향상시키는 데 약간의 효과는 있지만, 언어 이해 능력과 언어 표현 능력을 효율적으로 발달시키는 데는 효과가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 한국교육개발원 언어 영재교재나 국어 교과서 심화학습 내용처럼 듣기, 말하기, 읽기와 쓰기를 따로 분리해서 지도하는 것보다 일상생활처럼 듣기, 말하기, 읽기, 쓰기를 종합해서 함께 지도하는 것이 언어적으로 재능있는 영재에게는 더 효과적이라고 나타났다. 또한 지역이나 학교 급별에 따라 언어 영재성의 개념이 달라질 수 있으므로, 그에 알맞은 언어 영재 심화학습 프로그램을 지속적으로 개발할 필요가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

  • 제7차 교육과정은 학습자 중심 수업을 강조하는 패러다임적 전환을 요구하고 있다. 하지만, 교사들의 신념은 여전히 이전의 교육과정을 실천하기에 적합한 신념들을 형성하고 있다. 좀 더 정확하게 말하자면, 교사들은 자신의 신념을 바뀌어가고 있는 중이다. 이에 본 고에서는 패러다임적 전환이 이루어진 교육을 실천하기 위해서 교사들이 형성해야 할 신념들 중 학습자관, 차시별 학습목표, 교육과정상의 모든 지식의 지도가능성, 학급당 인원수, 학업성취도 등 몇 가지에 대해서 논의한다. 이런 논의가 학습자 중심 수업의 실천을 더욱 강조하는 2007개정 교육과정을 운영해야 하는 교사들에게 도움이 되기를 기대한다.

  • The current study explored how Korean-speaking children processed the multiple acoustic cues (VOT and f0) for the stop laryngeal contrast (/t'/, /t/, and /$t^h$/) and examined whether individual perceptual strategies could be related to a general cognitive ability performing executive functions (EF). 15 children (aged from 7 to 8) participated in the speech perception task identifying the three Korean laryngeal stops (3AFC) on listening to the auditory stimuli of C-/a/ with synthetically varying VOT and f0. They completed a series of EF tasks to measure working memory, inhibition, and cognitive shifting ability. The findings showed that children used the two cues in a highly correlated manner. While children utilized VOT consistently for the three laryngeal categories, their use of f0 was either reduced or enhanced depending on the phonetic categories. Importantly, the children's processing strategies of a f0 suppression for a tense-aspirated contrast were meaningfully associated with children's better cognitive abilities such as working memory, inhibition, and attentional shifting. As a preliminary experimental investigation, the current research demonstrated that listeners with inefficient processing strategies were poor at the EF skills, suggesting that cognitive skills might be responsible for developmental variations of processing sub-phonemic information for the linguistic contrast.

  • This paper presents a comparative study on the effectiveness of teaching an engineering course using English with Specific Purpose(ESP). A study was performed using student groups; one class using ESP, and one class conducted in English with an English text. The course conducted using ESP showed the greatest improvement in English writing and conversation, and the students reported a greatly increased confidence in their ability to function professionally using English. A self-assessment of each student was conducted before and after the courses. Prior to the course less than 10% in each group felt that they are able to: a) understand a textbook, b) write an email, c) generate a project report, or d) follow a lecture given in English. The survey at the end of the course showed that the ESP teaching style resulted in significant improvements in students ability and confidence with writing and speaking in English, whereas reading skills were similar for both groups. This is due to the ESP method, in which students are required to give presentations and keep journals in English. After a brief review of the ESP principles and a discussion of how they were implemented, the background data of the participants(students) are described. Finally, the end-of-semester survey highlights the efficacy of the ESP approach.

  • The purpose of this study is to compare the difference in the interactions between beginning language learners and heritage learners on their forms based on the interaction hypothesis. In this study, three types of information gap activities were used to analyze Language Related Episodes (LREs) while investigating the interaction patterns in language use between four pairs (eight learners) of foreign learners and four pairs (eight learners) of English-speaking heritage learners. The result indicated that foreign learners had a high focus on form during interaction. In particular, they had a tendency to focus on vocabulary rather than grammar, and they conducted self-repair by examining and mostly adjusting their speech to postposition and tense. However, in the problem-solving process, they showed a limited ability in interaction, and thus directly asked others to settle the problem or resorted to using English due to their lack of ability to employ various communication strategies. However, heritage learners had a relatively low focus on form compared to foreign learners. Yet, they also focused more on vocabulary rather than grammar and conducted self-repair in interaction, especially for vocabulary. In addition, they were skillful at using various communication strategies such as indirect expressions, use of alternative words, evasion, and delaying, to expand speech and prevent communication breakdown. They focused less on grammar and mostly did not provide negative feedback in interaction.

  • As the world becomes a global village, national conferences become more frequent, and the language of choice to mediate the exchange of information is English. Accordingly, the purpose of this research is to find several methods to prepare L2 students for English communication at conferences. Various studies about discourse markers can be found in this study. Discourse markers are indicators of fluency in spoken language, and indicators of improvement from features of spoken English to more typical forms of formal writing. In this study the presentation styles of native speakers and Asian non-native speakers are compared, and the difference between efficient and non-efficient speakers at conferences are discussed. As a study of conference English teaching and learning method, this research targets suggestion and application of discourse markers for L2 speakers. As a result, the fact that discourse markers are very important in effective writing and conference English is found and accordingly we can see that developing the ability to use discourse markers in writing and speaking are essential for L2 speakers.

  • This paper has an aim to examine English native speakers' requests, and offer an instructional technique to develop EFL students' pragmatic ability. For this purpose, English-speaking native speakers' requests were collected in six different face-threatening situations, and analyzed in three ways: directness levels, internal modification and sequence of request. The analysis of requests showed that they were realized mainly through conventionally indirect level in most situations, were internally modified frequently through the use of downgraders, and had a certain sequence of utterances realizing a request. On the basis of these findings, two kinds of interactional activities (Jigsaw and pair work) were provided as sample activities to promote EFL students' pragmatic knowledge about the appropriate ways of making requests given the fact that pragmatic errors can be more serious and more problematic than grammatical errors in social interaction.
