대학생들이 따라한 영어 문장의 화자별 운율 특성 분석

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

For a natural conversation with English speaking people. listening and speaking skills seem very important. In Korea. many students attempt to improve the skills by repeating English sentences loudly. However, they could not achieve those skills
easily because their repetition lacks attention. The purpose of this study is to examine the prosodic features of English sentences repeated by eight students divided into high and low groups by their TOEIC scores. Four sentences of various number of words were presented to the students. and they immediately repeated them. Fundamental frequency values of each recorded sentence every five milliseconds were carefully determined to compare them along with those of the native speaker. Results showed that the prosodic features of the students came out almost similar in the short sentences but the gap between the two groups and the native speaker widened as the sentence became longer. Secondly. as the number of words in each sentence became greater. the low group made more errors than the high group. Specifically, many students made errors in the function words which did not have sentence stress. It is desirable to devise some visible guides to diagnose wrong prosodic features of the students on an individual basis.
