Ryoo, Hye-Kyung. 2017. “Discourse Analysis of Microteaching: Dynamic Identities and Situational Frames”. The Sociolinguistic Journal of Korea 25(2), 165~196. The present paper is based on a discourse analysis of Microteaching speech events of Korean pre-service training students taking a teacher training course in college. The purpose of this study is to look closely into what really is going on in the discourse of microteaching events in terms of the participants identity enactment and framing of situations. Fifteen pre-service training students microteaching lessons were video-taped and transcribed to examine detailed discourse features. The results of the qualitative analysis of the discourse revealed frequent dynamic shifting and enactments of identities in momentary situational frames. The participants in the present study were able to act on diverse situational frames by orienting to locally-managed situated identities.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how preceptor experience has an effect upon preceptor nurses. This study was so designed that it could compare the difference between clinical performance and Job satisfaction of preceptor nurses and those of nonpreceptor nurses. Study subjects were sampled out from those nurses who worked with two university hospitals where preceptor programs were implemented. The number of subjects totaled to 134, including 69 preceptor nurses and 70 nonpreceptor nurses. The score of preceptor nurses' clinical performance and job satisfaction revealed a higher value than that of nonpreceptor nurses. A similar result was also shown in the subdomains. However these difference were not statistically significant. Among all of the preceptor nurses, the highest number of preceptor experience was just one time. Except for five times in preceptor experience, the more the number of times of preceptor experience, the higher score in clinical performance. It was manifested that the number of preceptor experience was not related to job satisfaction. The score of preceptor nurses' clinica1 performance and job satisfaction revealed a higher value than that of nonpreceptor nurses. A similar result was also shown in the subdomains. However these difference were not statistically significant. The reward that preceptor nurses wished most was a reduction of the work load assigned to them. Currently preceptor nurses are only receiving a small quantity of financial reward related with their preceptor role. Most of preceptor nurses (96.8%) were not satisfied with their existing reward. Almost half of the preceptor nurses(43.5%) did not want to play a role as preceptor again. The reason why the scores of clinical performance and job satisfaction were low might be attributed to the inadequate preceptor training program and reward system. Appropriate knowledge and clinical skill are expected to enhance the level of preceptor nurses' clinical performance and appropriate internal and external reward to elevate the level of preceptor nurses' Job satisfaction. Therefore, it is needed for us to develop more effective preceptor education program, financial reward, support of colleague nurses and nursing managers, and adjust workload for the purpose of more effective preceptor programs.

The Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) and Scaffolding in the Learner-Learner Interactions in Second Language

Hye-Kyung Ryoo 한국응용언어학회 2009 응용 언어학 Vol.25 No.3

The Vygotskian concepts of Zone of Proximal Development(ZPD) and scaffolding(Vygotsky, 19789,1986) in small group learner interactions have gained extensive research interests in recent years. Scaffolding in the right ZPD has been claimed to facilitate second language development. The present study is an attempt to closely investigate the scaffolding mechanisms and ZPD in small group discussion activities. The detailed qualitative analysis of data shows that the learners engaged in varying patterns of scaffolding and the ZPD depending on the particular interactional mechanisms. Overall, the learners benefited from participating in scaffolding actions, particularly, in collective scaffolding instances when they collaboratively worked together as equally contributing participants. The learners also gained help when they focused attention on their language gaps in helping the other peers and relied on their own resources. On the other hand, some peer scaffolding actions in the expert-novice framework gave rather limited opportunities to the learners in that the scaffolding help was not fully appropriated by the learners.

Discussion Task as a Method of Oral Proficiency Test: Responding to the Others

Hye Kyung Ryoo 언어과학회 2010 언어과학연구 Vol.55 No.-

As the popularity of a discussion task used for assessing language learners` speaking skills has increased, this study provides a qualitative analysis of talk in discussions among Korean college EFL learners in oral proficiency tests in terms of how the test takers interact with the other test takers in the discussion test situations. Interactions among the learners in discussion oral proficiency tests were video-taped and transcribed for a turn-by-turn analysis. A close analysis of the talk revealed that the discussions the learners were engaged in did not show much evidence of collaborative interactional patterns which is positively valued in speaking proficiency assessment. Rather, the interactions the learners had in this study were mostly disjointed and discontinued, lacking connected thoughts and ideas, which can be a debilitating factor in evaluation of their oral proficiency. In this paper, this problematic pattern of interactions were examined in terms of topic development and coherence by providing a detailed analysis of how the test takers were not able to coherently develop ideas initiated by the other participants in the discussions.

Form, Meaning, and Use of Language: A Qualitative Study on Native Speaker Teachers Teaching Elementary School EFL Students

Hye Kyung Ryoo 현대문법학회 2012 현대문법연구 Vol.70 No.-

The present study investigated how the native English speaking teachers (NEST hereafter) were teaching Korean children learning English as a foreign language (EFL) in a private language school. Specifically, it examined how their NESTs dealt with the dimensions of form, meaning, and use of language. A detailed analysis of the video- taped EFL classes targeted for Korean elementary school students taught by NESTs revealed that the teachers relied heavily on textbooks and their intuitions of the target language rather than facilitative teaching techniques. The implication of the present study is that there should be more syste- matized theory-based methods taken by NESTs to deal more effectively with beginning EFL learners in terms of the ways of presenting language data and to engage students in diverse learning activities. In addition, this paper argues that there is a strong need for NESTs to be trained as professional language teachers and to be equipped with teaching techniques and skills to customize the needs of Korean elementary school EFL learners.

College EFL Learners` Target Language Use in Simulated Job Interviews

Hye Kyung Ryoo 언어과학회 2014 언어과학연구 Vol.0 No.69

The present study explores the ways in which Korean college EFL learners shape their talk in self-introductions in simulated job interviews. Drawing on both discourse and linguistic analysis of the data, this study examines EFL learners` self-introduction talk in their target language. Both the content and linguistic aspects of their language use were examined in detail based on the evaluations of the interviews by a professional interviewer. The results show that the majority of the interviewees were not chosen as probable candidates for employment by the evaluator. The data analysis identify several linguistic and discourse patterns exhibited by the participants that could have possibly contributed to the unsuccessful outcome of their self-introductions. The results of the data analysis indicate that the participating students were having difficulties in the aspects of in terms of both language and contents of their self-introductions. Detailed analysis focusing on the participants challenges and difficulties are presented with some implications for teaching practical job interview skills to college students.
