영어의 서법 조동사 Will/Shall에 관한 연구

강문구(Kang Mun-koo) 한국영어어문교육학회 2006 영어어문교육 Vol.12 No.3

  The purpose of this paper is to explain the meanings and uses of the English auxiliaries SHALL/WILL. The complexity of modern usage of SHALL/WILL has been one of the most disputable themes of traditional English grammar. The paper purported to address the study and analysis of diachronic and synchronic approach to the two auxiliaries. A general view of the figures of Fries’(1925) survey was added for further investigation. The results of the study showed that these auxiliaries express some of various modal meanings associated with the volitional or emotional attitude of the speaker without implying futurity. The findings also suggested that the use of SHALL in present-day English is restricted to non-volitional future with the first person but the practice of this use is also diminished by the expansion of the use of WILL, and the original meaning of WILL, ‘to desire or wish’, has generally been replaced by other verbs or modal forms. But sentences which seem to indicate futurity are often tinged with modalsenses. Therefore, WILL/SHALL should be considered to act either as tense auxiliary or as modal auxiliary depending on situational contexts in which it occurs.

Developing a Guidebook for Teaching English in English

강문구 ( Kang Mun Koo ) 대한영어영문학회 2010 영어영문학연구 Vol.36 No.4

Since the English education of South Korea nowadays raised the issue of Teaching English in English (TEE) back in 2008, there has been widespread reaction from in and out of the educational community. Critics argue that the current population of Korean English teachers is either unwilling or unable to carry out such a measure. Proponents say that teacher and student “discomfort” with English and the overall difficulty of the suggested plan are not reasons to dismiss or delay reform on such an important issue. Regardless of the debate, it seems clear that South Korean students, parents, businesses, and government leaders are all looking to improve the acquisition of English language skills in a country whose economic survival is tied so closely to Western culture and consumer trends. It is even more of a priority in light of documented deficiencies in speaking and listening skills as evidenced on South Korean TOEFL scores over the past few years. A thorough study of what TEE could actually bring to the Korean classroom seems necessary to clear up misconceptions and bring to a close the endless debates that only waste time, resources, and educational opportunity for the current and future generations of students.

영어 시제의 효율적인 교수ㆍ학습 전략

강문구(Kang Mun-koo) 한국영어어문교육학회 2007 영어어문교육 Vol.13 No.3

  Although the understanding of English tense system is a crucial factor for communicative English learning and teaching for EFL students, it has been neglected over the years. As with other areas of the grammar, difficulties may arise from the nature of the system itself or from differences between time, tense and aspect. Consequently, many learners face a considerable difficulty with the English tense system as they are more often unable to grasp the basic conceptual differences of present/present continuous, past/present perfect, will/be going to along with many others. More concerning fact is that lots of instructors or so-called native English teachers seem not to be aware of the importance of teaching English tense system. The purpose of this study is to review and examine various theories and practical usages of tense in order to establish and/or present better methods for teaching tenses. This paper is focused on comparatively exact distinction of time, physical notion from tense, grammatical category as well as sequences of tenses in view of school grammar and communicative function. At the end or middle of each chapter, efficient teaching and learning techniques or strategies on tenses are suggested to help instructors or learners who relentlessly face confusions in understanding tense and its usage for communicative English learning and teaching. This study attempts to influence learners’ ability to recognize and write tense in authentic contexts not to mention spoken English.

한국 전래동화 학습 사이트를 활용한 영어 지도 방안

강문구(Kang, Mun-Koo),전영주(Jeon, Young-Joo) 한국영어어문교육학회 2009 영어어문교육 Vol.15 No.3

The purpose of this paper is to suggest a model for an English learning web-site using Korean folktales to stimulate the interest of beginners learning English, (elementary and early middle school ages) and suggest an integrated way of teaching 4 skills. The study first reviews the theoretical and historical backgrounds of storytelling using Korean folk tale, WBI (Web Based Learning), and learner-centered learning. Storytelling using Korean folk tale is an interactive way of teaching English through the use of words and actions from Korean traditional culture. The students can take pride in their own culture while learning a foreign language since they are familiar with the stories and the culture. Nowadays multicultural education is one of the big features of global education. Therefore there are benefits of studying English through Korean folktales. The websites can help students learn English ubiquitously with a learner-centered focus. For the study, we analyzed several digital English storytelling websites. The paper concludes that digital English story books need to improve their interactive ways of teaching for more effective learning. The quthors created an integrated English learning website model using Korean folktales for beginners. We hope to introduce this type of learning through the website for higher level students in middle school. Further study should be conducted in order to make the websites more meaningful and useful for Korean students learning English.

강문구(Kang, Mun-Koo),김용명(Kim, Yong-Myeong) 한국영어어문교육학회 2014 영어어문교육 Vol.20 No.1

The purpose of the present study was to research articles on English syntax, English grammar and language acquisition that have been published in English Language & Literature Teaching for 20 years. In recent years, language professions and researchers have maintained that grammatical competence cannot be easily acquired unconsciously in an EFL environment such as in Korea, and that it can be acquired and developed through focus on form (Doughty & Williams, 1998) by focusing on meaning and communication (Doughty, 1991; Doughty & Williams, 1998; Robinson, 1996, 2001; Skehan, 1998). In this view, this study analyzes the research papers that suggest effective learning and teaching of syntactic rules and grammatical forms in EFL classrooms by classifying into three criteria such as subject of study, theme and method of study. Finally it proposed a desirable direction toward English syntax and grammar learning and teaching in Korea.

팝송 훈밍글리쉬를 활용한 특성화고 영어수업모형 연구

김진성 ( Jin Sung Kim ),강문구 ( Mun Koo Kang ) 글로벌영어교육학회(구 호남영어교육학회) 2013 Studies in English education Vol.18 No.1

The purpose of this study is to develop English teaching models by using English pop songs to enhance the vocational high school students` motivation and scholastic achievement of English higher than using the other non-musical, traditional teaching methods and materials. This study is based on my own experiences and teaching career of English pop songs. Many scientific tests show that when you sing a song, the learning is more fun and longer-lasting. In order to confirm pop song effects on English learning, this study was designed to use two pairs of national English tests. According to the results, using English pop songs was more motivational and more effective. In addition, it shows that listening and singing pop songs through ‘Hunminglish (Hunminjungeum + English)’ can build the self-confidence of vocational students who gave up learning English and help them enjoy self-directed listening and singing practice every day and everywhere.
