Guo, JunHua. 2018. “A Study on Korean learners’ Awareness and Attitude about Academic Writing”. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 26(3). 1~30. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the awareness and attitudes of Korean learners about Academic Writing and to identify the problems which should be solved in academic writing education for Korean learners. For this, 62 foreign students were conducted a questionnaire survey, and 18 of them were interviewed to elicit their attitudes, perceptions about academic writing. A result of analysis showed that students have a very negative attitude towards writing. Moreover, they are not aware of the importance of writing. Therefore, they are negligent of writing and do not actively participate in academic activities. Second, students know the connection between general purpose writing learning and academic writing learning, but they have no systematic understanding of Korean academic writing. They simply gain knowledge of writing by imitating. Third, although they showed a willingness to be good at academic writing, they lacked subjective initiative on writing learning. And their writing study was centered on TOPIK. In order to solve these problems, this paper suggested solutions from an ecological perspective: language knowledge entry, learning environment, and learner’s self - growth. First, it is needed to help foreign students to have a systematic knowledge of academic writing as soon as possible. Second, outside the classroom, students should be offered a variety of opportunities to participate in academic activities.third, it is necessary to study the internal motivation of interest which attracts students’ attention and allow them to have a positive attitude about academic writing.

The purposes of this study are to investigate how TOPIK students perceive the writing area and analyze it from the point of critical assessment, and to suggest improvement directions of TOPIK writing assessment and Korean writing education. For this, 80 test-takers were conducted a questionnaire survey, and 20 of them were interviewed to elicit their thoughts, attitudes, perceptions about the TOPIK writing. As a result of analysis, the power of high - stakes testings such as TOPIK has a great influence on learners. TOPIK test-takers had difficulty and great anxiety about writing. They thought that to study for TOPIK writing is only for the sake of examination and that extra study was needed to improve their actual writing ability. Although the test-takers showed a willingness to write well in Korean, they had a negative attitude about studying writing. To solve this problem, it is necessary to solve problems of difficulty level in writing assessment such as ambiguous assessment criteria. In addition, it is also need to pay attention to the phenomenon of ‘test-oriented learning’ in Korean writing education, and to study the motivation of interest which attracts Korean learners attention and let them have a positive attitude about writing.

한국어 중급 학습자의 추론적 읽기능력 신장을 위한 논의

곽준화 ( Guo Jun Hua ) 한국어교육연구소 2015 한국어교육연구 Vol.11 No.2

본 연구는 중급 한국어 학습자를 대상으로 학습자들이 읽기를 수행할 때 가장 어려워하고 필요한 추론적 읽기능력을 밝혀내고, 이를 향상시킬 수 있는 방법을 제안하는 데에 목적을 두고 있다. 읽기는 우리 생활과 분리될 수 없는 매우 중요한 행위이고, 문자나 영상을 통한 정보만 받아들이고 이해하는 기능 이상의 것이다. 독자는 글을 읽을 때 텍스트의 명시적인 정보를 파악해야 할 뿐만 아니라 의도적으로 ‘암시’하기도 한 의미상의 공백도 파악해야 할 필요성이 있다. 이러한 의미상의 공백을 파악할 경우에 추론적 읽기능력을 활용해야 할 것이다. 본 연구는 바로 이 추론적 읽기능력에 초점을 두고 연구를 진행하였다. 이를 위해 우선 문헌 연구를 통해 외국어로서의 한국어 추론적 읽기교육의 현황을 파악하였으며, 한국어 교재분석을 통해 한국어 학습자들을 대상으로 중급단계부터 추론적 읽기능력을 키워야 한다고 판단하였다. 그리고 검사지와 토픽 시험 답안지 분석을 하여 한국어 학습자들이 추론적 읽기능력을 향상시켜야 할 근거를 밝혔으며, 이어서 추론적 읽기능력 신장 방안에 대해 제안하였다. 본 연구의 결론은 중급 한국어 학습자들이 추론적 읽기능력을 신장시킬 수 있도록 돕는 기준이 될 수 있다는 것에 의의를 가진다. The purpose of this study is targeted at Intermediate Korean language learners and found the most difficult factors and the need of reading ability when they are reading, and propose corresponding educational program in order to improve the reading ability. Reading is a process of communicating with others through the eyes and words. Every day we have to read a lot of information. Just like we open our eyes in the morning, we start reading. It is an important behavior and cannot be separated with our life. It’s not just read the information that we see from the text or video. Because the message that the author wants to convey will not be reflected directly in the article, but expressed through the connection between meanings and grammars. Readers contacted the text like this not only have to grasp the Explicit Knowledge, but also have to know the Implicit Knowledge of the text. This paper is focusing on the inferential reading which is a kind of the types of reading. In order to achieve such a purpose, deep interviews and questionnaires survey, and material analysis method were used. With this series of studies the necessity of this study was determined and its contents were categorized. According to these, a feasible education program for Korean learners was proposed to improve the inferential reading ability of them. The thesis contains the following chapters: The first chapter discloses the necessity and objective of this study. The second chapter discusses key words and theoretical backgrounds related to inferential reading. The third chapter collects and analyzes data as a prerequisite step to proposing corresponding educational program of inferential reading, selects the contents and suggests the educational program of inferential reading education. Finally the last chapter of this study reviews contents discussed in earlier chapters, states the significance and limits of this study, and concludes this study by suggesting a further study direction.

한국어 문어 교육에서의 학문적 문식성 개념 정립을 위한 제언

곽준화(Guo Jun Hua),최정순(Choe Jeong soon) 우리말학회 2019 우리말연구 Vol.57 No.-

본 연구는 한국어교육에서의 학문적 문식성 개념 정립에 필요한 하위 구성 요소를 밝히고, 학문적 문식성에 대해 위계화하면서 그의 개념을 설정하는 데 목적을 두었다. 기존 연구들은 학문적 문식성의 구성 요소에 대한 정치한 논의 없이 인용 및 선언적인 주장에 그쳤다. 이로 인해 실제적으로 학문적 문식성 개념을 문어교육에 적용하는데 괴리가 매우 크다. 본고는 이러한 문제의식에서 출발하여 학문적 문식성에 대해 인지적, 사회문화적, 실천적 측면에서 재해석하였으며, 기능적 문식성, 문화적 문식성, 정보 문식성, 비판적 문식성, 미디어 문식성 등 다섯 가지 하위 요소를 도출하였다. 이외에 학습자들의 정서적 요인도 함께 고려해야 한다. 이때 학문적 문식성은 1) 목표어로 유창하게 소통할 수 있는 능력, 2) 다양한 정보에 대해 이해, 비판적으로 분석, 수집, 사용하는 능력, 3)디지털 매체로 지식을 탐구 및 소통, 산출할 수 있는 능력, 4) 학문적 공동체에서 나아가 사회의 일원으로서 다른 구성원과 소통하고, 해당 공동체의 문화, 가치, 태도 등을 이해하고 실천할 수 있는 능력으로 이해될 수 있다. This study aims to clarify the sub-components of Academic Literacy and to define it by hierarchizing academic literacy. As many scholars mentioned, most of foreign students have great difficulties in their studies because of their lack of academic literacy. Based on prior research, the components of academic literacy were not discussed concretely, and its definition was also vague. In the field of Korean language education, there are few literature about academic literacy. If a curriculum of academic literacy is to be established, it’s necessary to define academic literacy and clarify the sub-components of it firstly. As a result of this paper, academic literacy should be consisted of five components: functional literacy, cultural literacy, information literacy, critical literacy, media literacy. In addition, emotional factors of students should also be considered. And in KAP education, academic literacy can be defined with 1) ability to communicate fluently with korean language, 2) ability to understand, analyze, collect and use various information critically, 3) ability to explore, communicate, and calculate knowledge with digital media, 4) ability to communicate with other members as an member of an academic community and a member of society, to understand the culture, values, and attitudes of the community.

외국인 대학원생의 학위논문 서론 내용 구조 분석 연구

전미화, 곽준화 배재대학교 주시경교양교육연구소 2018 대학교양교육연구 Vol.3 No.2

The present study aims to analyze the structure of the introduction in Korean theses written by foreign graduate students. It examines the content and structure of the introduction in 30 theses, identifying problems in three components of the introduction: research purpose and necessity, previous research, and research characteristics and significance. Results are as follows. First, foreign graduate students have difficulty determining the necessity of the research by closely connecting historical facts, general facts, and educational status and describing them specifically and persuasively. Moreover, they tend to address the purpose of the research repeatedly or indicate the repeated purposes differently. Second, in terms of reviewing previous research, foreign students are likely to examine previous studies that are irrelevant to their research purpose or to select relevant studies from an excessively wide range. They also have trouble identifying problems with previous studies through evaluation. Finally, most foreign students clearly outline the characteristics and significance of the research and comply with the appropriate structure of research in their theses. Findings of this study can be used as baseline data to teach foreign graduate students, who are in the writing Korean theses course, the structure of the introduction. 본 연구는 외국인 대학원생이 한국어 학위논문의 서론을 어떻게 구성하였는지, 그 내용 구조를 분석하는 데 목적을 두었다. 이를 위해 한국어 학위논문 35편에서 서론의 내용 구조를 살피고, ‘연구의 목적 및 필요성’, ‘선행연구’, ‘연구의 특징 및 의의’의 세 단계에서 나타나는 문제점을 분석하였다. 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 먼저 학습자들은 역사적 사실과 일반적 사실 및 교육 상황을 긴밀하게 연결하고, 이를 설득력 있고 구체적으로 기술하여 연구의 필요성을 도출하는 것을 어려워하였다. 또한 연구의 목적을 지나치게 중복하는 경우가 많았고, 그 목적을 서로 다르게 기술하는 경우도 가끔 나타나고 있었다. 다음으로 선행연구의 검토에서는 주제와 관련 없는 연구를 살피거나 관련 연구를 너무 포괄적으로 살피는 문제가 있었으며, 학습자들은 선행연구를 평가하고 부족점을 도출하는 것을 어려워하였다. 마지막으로 연구의 특징과 의의, 논문의 구성은 대다수의 논문에서 명확하게 제시되어 있었다. 본 연구는 한국어 학위논문 쓰기 교육에서 서론을 구성하기 위한 기초적인 자료로 활용될 수 있다.
