The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between parents' behavior during picture-book reading and home literacy environment and their effects on toddlers' vocabulary. The subjects of the study were 46 toddlers and their parents. The MCDI-K(Im, 2002), Lee and Kim(2004)'s categories of Verbal Behaviors, the categories of Nonverbal Behavioral Analysis(Kim, 2005), and the Home Literacy Environment Index(Han, 2006) were used. The analysis of the collected data was guided by the research questions and involved the use of descriptive statistics, t-test and an analysis of relevant correlations. The results of this study were as follows; First, the toddlers' receptive vocabulary score was 1.2 times higher than the toddler's expressive vocabulary score. Second, the father's book reading behaviors and mother's book reading behaviors were quite similar, the most frequent types of behavior being the use of 'feedback', 'explanation', 'questioning' and 'pointing'. On the other hand, there was a significant difference between the reading behavior of the mother and father as regards the categories of 'linguistic attention ventilation', 'suggesting', 'directing(instructing)', 'expanding feedback', 'pointing' and 'gesture'. Mothers performed more of these behaviors than the fathers. Third, toddler's vocabulary scores were positively correlated with the mother's 'linguistic attention ventilation'. However, the mother's use of 'restriction' was negatively correlated with the toddler's vocabulary level. Toddler's vocabulary scores were positively correlated with the father's 'description', 'reasoning/predicting', 'questioning about function or action', 'demanding feedback' and 'pointing'. The toddler's vocabulary scores were also positively correlated with the relative abundance of home environment materials and the amount of time spent on parent-child home literacy activity.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of toddlers' vocabulary ability with reading activities and teachers' verbal and nonverbal behaviors during book reading. The subjects were 52 teachers and 104 toddlers at age 2. Lee and Kim (2004)'s categories of the Teachers' Verbal Behaviors, the categories of the Nonverbal Behavioral Analysis(Kim. 2005), and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised (Kim, et al.1995) were used. The data was analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, and Correlations. The results indicated that there were significant correlations in the subcategories of reading activities in classrooms, teachers' picture book reading behaviors, and toddler's vocabulary ability. The toddler's vocabulary ability increased as the 'interacting time both before and after book reading' became longer. The toddler's vocabulary ability increased as 'connecting with previous experience', 'asking questions for confirmation', 'acknowledging,' and 'expanding' of verbal behavior, as well as the nonverbal behavior, such as 'requesting behavior', 'emotional contact,' and 'empathetic behavior.' In conclusion, teachers' reading behaviors and activities were related to toddlers' vocabulary ability.

This study was conducted to identify relationships between toddler-teacher joint attention and toddlers' vocabularies. Toddlers' vocabularies were assessed by the MacArthur Communicative Development Inventory-Korean (MCDI-K) modified by Kim (2006); joint attention episodes were observed by classification categories for engagement condition (Bakeman & Adamson, 1984). Data were analyzed by means, t-test and Pearson's correlations. Results were that : (1) receptive vocabulary of toddlers was about 1.1 times as high as their expressive vocabulary. (2) Coordinated joint attention was observed most frequently, followed by supported joint attention; coordinated joint attention was closely related to support joint attention. (3) The relationship between toddler-teacher joint attention and toddlers' vocabularies were significant in a positive direction.

본 연구에서는 걸음마기 영아의 기질과 어머니 양육행동이 영아의 어휘력 발달에 미치는 영향력을 살펴보고자 하였다. 연구대상은 전라북도 I시에 위치한 47개 어린이집의 18~24개월 영아 299명과 어머니이다. 연구결과 첫째, 영아의 기질과 어휘력의 관계를 기질의 구성차원별로 살펴보면, 접근-회피와 적응성, 기분은 이해 및 표현어휘와 부적 상관관계를 보였고, 반응강도는 이해어휘와 정적 상관관계를 보였다. 둘째, 어머니의 양육행동과 어휘력의 관계를 어머니 양육행동의 하위요인별로 살펴보면, 교수적 양육행동과 긍정한계선 설정 양육행동은 이해 및 표현어휘와 정적 상관관계를 보였다. 셋째, 영아의 어휘력 발달에 대한 영아의 기질과 어머니 양육행동을 영향력을 알아본 결과, 이해어휘에 대해서는 접근-회피의 설명력이 가장 높았고, 다음은 교수적 양육행동, 반응강도, 기분의 순으로 설명력이 나타났다. 표현어휘에 대해서는 교수적 양육행동의 설명력이 가장 높았고, 기분, 반응강도, 활동성 순으로 설명력이 나타났다. 영아 어휘력 발달에 있어서 이해어휘는 영아의 기질인 접근-회피가, 표현어휘는 어머니 양육행동인 교수적 양육행동의 영향력이 가장 큰 변임임이 밝혀져, 어머니는 영아의 이해어휘 발달을 위해 기질에 적합한 상호작용과 표현어휘 발달을 위해 사물과 사건의 특성에 대해 말로 표현해 주는 양육행동을 하여야겠다.

Subjects were 88 two-year-old-toddlers(25-36 months of age) and 32 teachers in 13 childcare centers; they were randomly assigned to experimental or control groups. The researcher observed teacher-toddler interaction in the picturebook reading situation. Analysis of patterns of teachers' verbal behavior and coding of toddlers' verbal and nonverbal behaviors were based on Senechal, et al.(1995) and Whitehurst, et al.(1988), respectively. In comparison with the control group, toddlers of the experimental group showed significant differences in verbal behavior; they acquired nouns occurring in the picturebooks and more expressive and comprehensive language. After training intervention, teachers of the experimental group showed changes in quality and quantity of verbal behavior.

This study examined the relationship between children's temperament and their early vocabulary acquisition. Mothers of 317 toddlers (18 months of age) completed the Toddler Temperament Scale(Bak, 1996) and a vocabulary checklist(Pae, 2002). Results showed that mood, adaptability, and activity were associated with vocabulary acquisition. Specifically, infants rated as having a positive mood and low activity level acquired more expressive words. On the other hands, infants rated as easily adaptive and low activity level acquired more receptive words. These results suggest that different components of temperament may influence the way in which toddlers acquire vocabulary.

Mothers of 58 20-month-olds in Seoul, the Republic of Korea, completed vocabulary checklists for their children. When vocabulary level was taken into account, children's vocabularies contained relatively greater proportions of nouns than other word classes, and more verbs than adjectives or closed-class words. Correlations among word classes showed that each word class was consistently positively correlated with every other class. Girls' vocabularies showed evidence of being larger than boys. Large individual differences in the sizes of children's vocabularies were found. Factors that influence vocabulary size and can account for gender and individual differences are discussed. Noun prevalence in the vocabularies of children learning to speak Korean, and the merits of several theories that may account for this word-class prevalence pattern, are evaluated.

This study investigated differences in toddlers' language development depending on their teachers' types of interaction during reading of picture books. A pilot study identified teachers' types of interaction as instructional, non-immediate, and passive. Fifteen teachers recruited from 10 child-care centers located in Seoul and their 90 2-year-old toddlers participated in this study. Teachers read two picture books to a small group of toddlers each week for eight weeks. Data on the toddlers' receptive and expressive language, vocabulary, reading behavior, and book handling were collected and compared by their teachers' interaction type before and after teachers' 8-week reading of picture books. Results showed that teachers using the non-immediate interaction type had the most positive effects on toddlers' language development.

본 연구는 가정환경과 만 3세 유아의 언어발달, 그리고 또래유능성 간의 관계를 규명하기 위해 실시되었다. 즉, 유아의 가정환경이 바람직할 때 보다 나은 언어능력의 발달이 가능하며, 이는 어린이집 상황에서 보다 나은 긍정적 또래관계, 그리고 부정적 또래관계의 감소를 예측할 것으로 연구모형을 설정하고 이를 검증하였다. 연구대상은 한국아동패널에 참여하고 있는 유아 800명을 대상으로 하였으며, 이들의 4차년도 자료를 사용하였고, 구조방정식 모델링 기법이 적용되었다. 분석 결과, 가정환경과 유아의 어휘능력은 긍정적인 또래관계와 부정적인 또래관계 행동을 유의하게 예측하였다. 또한 유아 언어발달은 가정환경과 또래유능성을 유의하게 매개하는 것으로 밝혀져 유아의 사회적 관계 형성에 언어발달이 중요한 역할을 하고 있음을 시사한다.

본 연구는 영유아기 종일제 어린이집 이용 여부에 따라 가족관련 변인이 영유아발달에 가지는 관계성의 강도가 다를 수 있다는 가설을 검증하는 데에 목적이 있다. 한국아동패널연구의 3차년도 및 4차년도 조사자료를 분석하여 종일제 어린이집을 이용(주당 30시간 이상의 어린이집 이용)집단과 어린이집이나 대리양육자를 이용하지 않는 어머니 단독양육 집단을 추출하여, 일련의 가족관련 변인과 영유아의 발달적 결과 간의 관계성의 양상과 그 강도를 비교하였다. 분석방법으로 이변량 상관관계분석을 실시하였으며 두 집단의 상관계수 간의 유의한 차이를 검증하였다. 연구결과, 만2세의 경우 어머니의 사회적 양육유형이 영아의 의사소통을 정적으로 예측하는데 있어 종일제 어린이집을 사용하는 가족에서 그 크기가 유의하게 큰 것으로 나타났다. 만 3세 때에는 가정환경검사 중 다수의 하위변인에서 어린이집을 이용하지 않는 가족의 경우, 종일제 어린이집을 이용하는 경우에 비해 유의하게 강한 상관관계로 표현어휘 및 수용어휘 발달을 예측하였다. 즉, 어린이집에서 시간을 보내는 경우, 가정환경 외에 다른 요인이 발달을 예측할 수 있음을 시사한다. 하지만 이들 변인 외에 분석에 사용된 다양한 변인과 영유아 발달 간의 상관관계에 집단차는 발견되지 않아 발달에 기여하는 가족과정이 종일제 어린이집과 어머니 단독양육 집단 간에 유사 또는 차별적이라고 단순히 결론 내릴 수 없고, 발달연령, 가족과정 내의 예측요인, 그리고 발달적 결과에 따라 다소 복잡한 유형으로 차이를 보임을 알 수 있다.
