다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aims to propose a pronunciation instruction strategy utilizing the Romanization of the Korean language for beginning Korean learners in English-speaking countries. To achieve this, we analyzed the pronunciation acquisition characteristics and error patterns of English-speaking children. We specifically examined the pronunciation issues of Korean consonants, including plain, aspi rated, and hard consonants. We demonstrated that the Romanization of the Korean language can be educationally beneficial for English-speaking children, and developed a concrete teaching strategy for Korean pronunciation classes centered on real-world language practices.
As a result of this study, the teaching methods in the classroom were divided into ‘visual recognition-centered confirmation activities, auditory discrimination-centered pronunciation practice, and tactile play-centered performance activities’ to enable English-speaking child learners to recognize the phonological differences between ‘flat consonants, aspirated consonants, and hard consonants’ and to connect these differences to actual speech. The teaching contents and example materials were presented in detail.
