The purpose of this paper is to suggest how to facilitate student-centered learning in speech recognition English-speaking programs. Previous programs have commonly shown a serious problem in that learners quickly feel bored or discouraged in continuing speaking activities with the software. One of the main reasons is that learners are not allowed to actively manipulate their expressions in conversations. In order to facilitate student-centered speaking practice, the paper suggests adopting three approaches in establishing the database: 1) accommodating various expressions which carry the same illocution; 2) conversational branching by using Yes/No questions and adjacent-pair expressions; 3) utilizing ‘a helper’ to control the flow of the conversation and to practice structural patterns. After reviewing the key features of the recent speech recognition product Talklish Bible (TB), the paper attempts to demonstrate a sample lesson by applying those approaches to TB. It is also hoped that a future speech recognition program would give more consideration to providing learners with more opportunities for their voluntary participation in speaking with the computer software. Any addition of such approaches to a new program would make it possible to encourage Korean learners who want to improve their English speaking abilities without going abroad.

의사소통능력 향상을 위한 교차문화 자각능력에 관한 연구

In order to improve communicative competence in a foreign language, the learner should be well aware of what to say and how to behave in a given situation. Such competence arises from the learner's awareness of the target culture. This paper is an attempt to examine how much awareness Korean college students have about the cultures of English-speaking countries. Ninety five college students were asked to answer 15 questions by focusing on American cultures. The questions were selectively prepared based on the story of Prime Love. The result shows that the subjects' awareness is below 40% for those cultural aspects, which include national image of the USA, age, counseling, homosexuality, dating, and more particularly non-verbal communication including gestures. However, the subjects appear to be relatively well informed about those areas such as weekend activities, pastime, invitation, and giving gifts. In class, students may be encouraged to spend some time practicing linguistic expressions together with appropriate behavioral activities using role plays and miniplays. It is also suggested that one seemingly important culture is shown from different movies and then students are encouraged to find out some common features and differences for themselves.

초등영어교육의 음성인식 소프트웨어 활용과 전망

The study holds two purposes: 1) to review the problems of speech recognition softwares that have been used for beginning English education; 2) to suggest features that should be considered in developing future speech recognition softwares. The study has found that the present speech recognition softwares are mostly computer-directed, hindering the self-motivation of the student in learning activities. In these softwares, the student is usually involved in: 1) comparing wave forms of his pronunciation with those of the computer; 2) speaking a limited number of sentences that are already assigned in a role play; 3) selecting his answer from some choices, which are not clearly distinguished in speech recognition; 4) practicing some useful expressions, which are often mistaken as another phrase in speech recognition. In order to facilitate interactive activities between the computer and students, prospective softwares should focus more on developing softwares: 1) to apply the branching method to allow more student-directed conversations; 2) to be able to identify various expressions of the same illocution and those of different structures; 3) to provide immediate and various feedbacks for the student's performance; 4) to employ stimulating games which require many oral activities; and finally 5) to utilize a user-friendly hardware which requires a less amount of student adjustment to the machine.

미국영어의 호칭어에 관한 연구:폴리와 함께 에 등장하는 FN호칭을 중심으로

The purpose of this study is to analyze address terms of American English with a focus on addressing others using FN. The data has been collected from the movie Along Came Polly, which includes various situations of ordinary American life. The results show that the most common form of address in America is FN, which accounts for 71% of all address terms. There are two other variants of FN: FN-G (FN-Generic) and FN-D (FN-Diminutive). FN-G is an FN-substituting ordinary noun with generic meaning. It accounts for 16% of addresses, using such nouns as dude, guys, and man. FN-D is a diminutive FN, which accounts for 9% of the terms used. Three of these FN terms are almost exclusively used to address others in most conversations in the movie. Other terms for forms of address are TLN (Title + Last Name) and KT (Kin Title) like Mom and Dad. However, their use is fairly restricted, accounting for only 4% of total occurrences. It was also found that reciprocal FN is the most common form of address in ordinary conversations. Korean students should be prepared to be able to employ proper address terms suitable for the purpose of communication if they plan to go to countries that speak American English.

스크린영어의 효율적 운영을 위한 수업모델

옥종석(Ok Jong seok) 영상영어교육학회 2012 영상영어교육 (STEM journal) Vol.13 No.1

This paper is an attempt to suggest an effective teaching model for college Screen English. Forty eight students participated in answering survey questions after they had finished watching the movie Prime. The questions were mainly about whether they found any positive changes in learning English and also, if their language skills were improved by the class. The results show that Screen English has helped the students feel more interested and motivated in learning English. They have newly come to realize the importance of English pronunciation, particularly regarding stress and phonological processes. In addition, a new awareness of other cultures was found to stimulate their intellectual curiosity, thus facilitating language learning. Teaching materials from Prime are presented including some phonological processes of the English language and information about American culture. Finally, a teaching model for Screen English is suggested with an emphasis on teaching pronunciation and the various cultures of the English-speaking world.

The occupational health agency system, which was established for the purpose of providing efficient health services with limited resources to the employees of small and medium enterprises, is a traveling group health service system. Though the occupational health agencies have increased in numbers, which is 66 in total in 1998, after the introduction of the occupational health agency system, there have not been proper evaluations and improvements in the system. The purpose of this study is to conduct the evaluation of the occupational health agencies, and to provide suggestions for improvement thereof. Specifically, it attempts (1) to identify the factors related to the perceptions and attitudes of in-house health personnel of small and medium manufacturing firms in Shinpyung-Changrim industrial complex of Pusan regarding occupational health agency system, (2) to examine the actual conditions of occupational health agency services provided by the nurses of the agencies, (3) to identify the problems associated with the occupational health agency system on the basis of the survey results, and (4) to suggest the alternatives to improve the quality of the services. This study used questionnaire method in order to collect the data. The sample occupational health agencies evaluated in this study are 12 institutions in Pusan-Kyungnam region. The main results of the study are as follows: (1) There were weaknesses in service in the areas of approachability, comprehensiveness, technical quality, participation of workers and management, and adequacy of service. The problems in the areas other than approachability were found to be structural, while the latter ones were the problems which occurred during service implementation processes. (2) While the quality of occupational health agency service in general was rather low, there were some variations in the level of service quality according to the institutions. On the basis of the above results, the sugestions for improvement and limitations of the study are discussed in the conclusion.
