Exploring the Role of Automatically-derived Text Complexity Features in L2 Reading Test Development

한수미,신정아 현대영어교육학회 2016 현대영어교육 Vol.17 No.2

Although automatic text analysis tools are available, little research has been conducted on the application of such tools in reading assessments. When the ratio of academic vocabulary and transitions are computed automatically and used in test development, the text selection-revision procedure can be fast and transparent by complementing test developers’ expertise. To obtain empirical evidence for the utility of automatic text complexity features, this study attempted to explore the role of automatically-derived text complexity features in an intensive English program (IEP) reading assessment. Based on previous literature and the testing context, a total of 11 text complexity features as lexical, syntactic, and semantic variables were chosen, and their accountability for the IEP reading item difficulty was automatically measured by using three text analysis tools—Lexile, the Compleat Lexical Tutor, and Coh-Metrix. Results showed that seven complexity features significantly correlated with the reading item difficulty. Stepwise multiple regressions showed that a set of four lexical and semantic text complexity features (i.e., word length, total word counts, Lexical Semantic Analysis (LSA), connectives) explained about 45% of the variance in the reading item difficulty. The results and findings of this study are discussed with regard to limitations and implications for both reading assessments and instruction.

Criterion Feedback in College Writing Instruction: Its Effectiveness and Student Perception

The use of computer technologies by writing students has increased, but language teachers and researchers have expressed doubts about their effectiveness and feasibility. In the field of writing assessment, this study examined the effectiveness of Criterion as an automated essay evaluation (AEE) system while addressing two research questions: (a) What types of feedback did Criterion provide to Korean EFL learners? and (b) With respect to their English writing study, how did Korean EFL learners perceive Criterion feedback? Analyses on engineering students' essays and perception survey data were mainly conducted quantitatively. Results showed that Criterion feedback on the students' essays was effective for correcting missing articles and number/subject-verb agreement errors and reducing repetitive words. The overall student perception of Criterion feedback was positive. However, vague feedback on organization and development and repeating words; and inaccurate feedback on mechanical errors, mostly spelling errors and articles; and the lack of feedback on errors need to be dealt with as they decrease the reliability of the AEE system as an instructional tool. The results and findings of this study were discussed while offering implications for future avenues of research.

In Korea, for mental disease, the Mental Health Act was revised into the Mental Health Welfare Act in May, 2017. Along with that, the approaches for the mentally disabled have been changed from the treatment-oriented model to the rehabilitation model and to the independent life model for the sake of community integration. This means that it is focused on interventions to help those suffering from mental diseases or disorders to improve their control over their situations and enhance their rights of self-determination. Along with that, the meaning of families of the mentally disabled is also changing from the negative view in the past to the concept of resources that can aid their treatment and rehabilitation. As a matter of fact, however, the number of homes for the mentally disabled or those residing in them is not decreasing very much, and deinstitutionalization is presently in the transitional period. As hindrance factors that the mentally disabled face in terms of community integration, there are factors associated with their will to live independently and their psychological factors such as lethargy coming from their long stay in the facility, low self-efficacy, and their family’s uncooperative factors. In order to realize their community integration and enhancement of their life quality, we should pay attention to improving their self-efficacy and heightening their control over their life on their own. To enhance their self-efficacy, it is needed to get rid of their depression and anxiety, and to improve their life quality, it is necessary to utilize family support as one of the crucial resources. Although family support is one of the main variables associated with self-efficacy which is ability that the mentally disabled have to manage their diseases and symptoms, there has not been much research done on the disabled staying in homes for the mentally disabled. In this context, this author has tried to divide family support into two factors (positive & negative) and examine the effects of it on self-efficacy. According to the results, when positive family support is provided more, their self-efficacy becomes more enhanced. 우리나라의 정신질환은 2017년 5월 정신보건법을 정신건강복지법으로 개정하면서 정신장애인에 대한 접근을 치료중심에서 재활모델을 거쳐 지역사회 통합을 위한 자립생활모델로 거듭나고 있다. 이는 정신질환이나 장애가 있더라도 당사자가 자신의 상황에 대한 통제력을 높여 자기결정권을 높일 수있는 개입에 초점을 두는 것이다. 이와 발맞추어 정신장애인 가족들의 의미도 과거의 부정적인 의미 에서 벗어나 치료와 재활에 원조할 수 있는 자원의 개념으로 전환되고 있다. 그러나 실제로는 정신요 양시설의 수나 그 곳에 거주하는 정신장애인의 수는 큰 감소를 보이지 않고 있으며 탈시설화는 과도 기적 상태에 놓여있다. 정신장애인의 지역사회 통합의 저해요인으로 오랜 시설생활로 인해 무기력함과 낮은 자기효능감, 가족의 비협조적인 요인 등 당사자의 자립의지와 심리적 요인이 원인으로 작용 하고 있다. 정신장애인의 지역사회 통합과 삶의 질을 높이기 위해서는 자신의 삶을 스스로 통제할 수있는 자기효능감 향상에 주목할 필요가 있다. 자기효능감을 높이기 위해서는 정신장애인의 우울과 불안을 감소하고 삶의 질을 높이는 가족지지를 중요한 자원으로 활용할 필요가 있다. 하지만 가족지지가 정신장애인의 질병과 증상을 관리할 수 있는 능력의 자기효능감 향상에 중요한 요인임에도 불구 하고 정신요양시설 입소 장애인을 대상으로 한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 이러한 맥락에서 가족지지를 긍정적, 부정적으로 구분하여 자기효능감에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 하였다. 본 연구의 결과, 긍정적 가족지지가 높을수록 자기효능감이 높은 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of suicide reports by mass media and social support on suicide ideation for college students. Methods: Participants are 350 undergraduate students in one university. This study uses three questionnaires: Perception and Attitude toward Suicide Reports, Social Support, and Suicidal Ideation. The SPSS/WIN 12.0 program is used to analyze the data. In particular, the participants' biographical data are analyzed into frequency and percentage. The degrees of suicide reports, social support, and suicide ideation are calculated into Mean and SD. Moreover, the suicide ideation by suicide report and social support are analyzed by the two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: This study reveals that college students have an average of 30 minutes to one hour news time a day (38.9%) and have at least one suicide report in a month (30.3%). 79.7% participants believe that the suicide report of mass media results in the cause of the copycat suicide. In terms of suicide report and suicide ideation, the types of mass media (F (4,340)=2.41, p<.05) and suicidal urge (F (1,340)=31.23, p<.01), respectively, have significant influences on suicide ideation. On the other hand, the social support and suicide ideation, whether college students have their mentors (F (1,328)=13.26, p<.001) and/or careres (F (1,328)=26.84, p<.001) have significant influences on suicide ideation. Conclusion: College students have higher suicide ideation at news by internet site rather than by radio, TV, and so on. Moreover, college students who have a suicide feeling in the last one year, have more suicide ideation than who have not. On the other hand, college students who have a mentor and carer tend to have less suicide ideation.

한수미,신정아 한국영어학회 2015 영어학 Vol.15 No.4

Han, Sumi and Shin, Jeong-Ah. 2015. Register Variation in the Lexico-Grammatical and Functional Usages of MAKE and TAKE. Korean Journal of English Language and Linguistics. 15-4, 919-941. This study explored the spoken-written register variation in the lexico-grammatical and functional usages of two high-frequency verbs make and take with in-house corpora including academic lectures and textbooks of American universities. All uses of each verb in each academic register were analyzed and compared with regard to frequency and collocate. The results showed that both verbs and their delexical uses were significantly more frequent in lectures than in textbooks. However, no register variation was found significant in phrasal and/or idiomatic uses. The nature of common collocates of each verb also varies in register, but stance words were common collocates of both verbs in the textbooks. Both similarities and differences in the usages of make and take between lectures and textbooks are informative to identify the general, non-arbitrary structural and semantic patterns of high-frequency verbs across registers and to apply them to L2 instruction and research.

Developing a Collocation Test for Korean EFL Learners: Test Validation and Item Format Effect

한수미,이용원 한국영어학회 2016 영어학 Vol.16 No.2

Han, Sumi and Lee, Yong-Won. 2016. Developing a Collocation Test for Korean EFL Learners: Test Validation and Item Format Effect. Korean Journal of English Language and Linguistics 16-2, 221-243. The main goal of the study is to develop and validate a standardized collocation test for Korean EFL learners at varying proficiency levels. Additionally, the study also aims to examine the effects of item format on the test-takers' performance on the collocation test. A 40-item collocation test was developed and administered to 195 Korean EFL learners at the university level. Data were analyzed to obtain not only item-level statistics but also score reliability and criterion-related validity coefficients. Results showed that the new collocation test was well-constructed overall, given substantial reliability and validity evidence obtained for the test (including collocation items within an acceptable range of item difficulty and discriminability). The test-takers were found to have greater active receptive collocational knowledge than active productive collocational knowledge. In addition, the effects of L1 and item format on the collocation test performance were also ascertained. Implications of the findings for collocation assessment are discussed along with promising avenues for further investigation.
