Analysis of EBS Listening Test Items: Based on the Rasch Model

이희철,심재우,김나유 한국현대영어영문학회 2014 현대영어영문학 Vol.58 No.4

This study analyzed a set of high school English listening test items designed by the Education Broadcasting System (EBS). The three main purposes of the study were to identify erroneous ones among 20 items that do not fit a Rasch analysis model, describe difficulty levels in comparison to students’ ability levels, and review the overall test composition. The Winsteps, a Rasch model statistical software was used for statistical analyses. The software allows users to analyze dichotomous data for investigating problems that are inherent in test items. The results from the Winsteps revealed that two items out of a total of 20 items did not follow Rasch model assumptions. That is, the subjects’ responses to the two items were random at best, regardless of the subjects’ ability levels. The analysis of item difficulty levels indicated that most subjects were not able to get item number 15 correct because of a low frequency word. In addition, the subjects seemed to have difficulty finding a right answer since another choice was acceptable as a right answer due to the context. Moreover, the analysis of the construction of test items showed some mistakes at linguistic and discourse levels, calling for more thorough preparation of listening test items.

마틴 루터의 '믿음'과 에릭 에릭슨의 '신뢰감'의 만남

이희철 한국목회상담학회 2020 목회와 상담 Vol.34 No.-

This article is an attempt to compare trust and faith and to evaluate differences and similarities of both. Trust and faith tend to be misunderstood in Christian churches and pastoral ministry. In effect, some people misunderstand trust as faith and vice-versa. Some others misunderstand that faith belongs to trust. This article is based upon the premise that faith is a religious word and trust is a psychological word. This article claims that religious faith and psychological trust are distinctively different from each other while both of them are emotions. This claim is drawn from a functionalist perspective, which derives from a psychology of emotion. The functionalist perspective stresses that emotions have their own roles to perform and relate to other human functions such as cognitive functions and physical functions by playing their roles. This article is an investigation of Martin Luther’s ‘faith’ and Erik Erickson’s ‘trust’ from the functionalist perspective. This investigation concludes faith and trust play different roles but they exist as emotions in order to serve and enhance human relationships. In order to perform pastoral counseling appropriately, it ought to be remembered that faith and trust as emotions play their distinctive roles to enhance human community and interpersonal relationships. It also has to be remembered that faith helps to recognize where trust is among people and between human beings and God, while trust helps to preserve a safe zone in which people can continue to question their faith and Christian life. 본 논문에서 에릭 에릭슨의 신뢰감과 마틴 루터의 믿음을 비교 분석하였다. 목회상담 현장에서 믿음과 신뢰감을 혼돈하는 경향이 있다. 목회상담 현장에서 믿음과 신뢰감을 혼돈함으로서 믿음을 신뢰감으로 종속시키거나 반대로 신뢰감을 믿음의 하나로 단순화시키는 경향이 있다. 본 논문에서는 마틴 루터의 믿음과 에릭슨의 신뢰감을 비교하여 믿음과 신뢰감은 서로 다른 감정이지만 신학이 치료적이기 위해서는 ‘신뢰감’이라는 심리의학적 언어로 ‘믿음’이라는 신학적 언어를 종속시키는 위험을 저지르면 안 된다고 논한다. 또한 반대로 ‘믿음’이라는 신학적 언어로 ‘신뢰감’이라는 심리의학적 언어를 일반화시켜도 안 된다고 주장한다. 감정에 대한 기능주의적 관점을 비평적으로 수용하면서 본 논문에서는 감정으로서 신뢰감과 믿음은 사람과 공동체가 처해진 상황을 해석하고 대응하도록 돕는 기능을 한다고 주장한다. 그러면서 믿음과 신뢰감은 서로 다르지만 인간이 느끼는 감정으로서 신뢰감이 토대가 되어야 믿음의 갈등을 할 수 있을 뿐 아니라 오직 믿음만으로 신뢰관계를 알 수 있다고 주장한다. 결론적으로 목회상담 현장에서 믿음과 신뢰감을 감정으로서 이해하면서 서로 다르지만 믿음의 갈등을 충분히 하도록 돕는 신뢰감으로서 이해하고 사람과 사람의, 사람과 하나님의 신뢰관계가 어떠한지 알 수 있게 돕는 믿음으로서 이해하도록 제안한다.

플래시 램프로 펌핑한 Nd:YAG 레이저의 1.444 ㎛ 출력 특성

이희철,김규욱,김동현,공승환,김용평 대한전기학회 2006 전기학회논문지C Vol.55 No.12C

- We investigated the output characteristics of Nd:YAG lasers at wavelength of 1444 nm, which were pumped by 450 Xe-flashlamp, 700 torr Xe-flashlamp and 700 torr Kr-flashlamp. With a Xe-flashlamp of 700 torr of gas pressure, the pulse energy of 0.738 J was obtained with repetition rate of 9.16 Hz and pumping pulse width of 400 ms. In case pumping pulse width of 5 ms and repetition rate of 1 Hz, 700 torr Kr-flashlamp showed the highest pulse energy of 1.44 J.

The Schematic Representation of the Meanings of Periphrastic Causative Sentences in English and Korean

이희철 대한영어영문학회 2008 영어영문학연구 Vol.34 No.2

It has been claimed that Korean periphrastic causative constructions can express at least the concepts of causing, letting, permitting, and telling (weak jussive), among others. The purpose of this paper is to provide schematic representations of some meanings expressed by Korean periphrastic causative sentences. The significance of this study lies in its employing the concept of force dynamics (Talmy, 1988, 2003) in cognitive semantics in order to give a clear account of the different semantic categories expressed by those sentences.

학문어로서 터키어의 자격여부 공론화 현황 -외국어 교육 과열현상을 중심으로-

이희철 명지대학교(서울캠퍼스) 중동문제연구소 2015 중동문제연구 Vol.14 No.4

Whether Turkish language deserves scientific qualities for engaging philosophy and science has always been controversy among Turkish scholars for a long time. This argument is clearly divided into two perspectives. One claims that newborn Turkish is not suitable for global knowledge of philosophy, literature and science. The other asserts that Turkish provides abundant phrases, expressions and words through its historical development. The background of the argument is based on the phenomenon of English fever in Turkish society. The fever in foreign language education resulted in less profound awareness and knowledge in Turkish, thus a trend to make light of Turkish. This paper aims to study the phenomenon of foreign language fever in Turkey and argument on the ability of Turkish as a scientific language.

The Interclausal Syntactic and Semantic Relations of the Periphrastic Causative

이희철 대한언어학회 2007 언어학 Vol.15 No.4

Lee (1998) seems to assume that a simple sentence of the Korean periphrastic causative construction is neutral in which meaning it expresses, with respect to the concepts of 'causing', letting, permitting, and weak jussive. In other words, it can express either of those concepts, depending upon the context in which it occurs. This paper argues that aspect, modality, or adverbs attached to the first nucleus and /or the second nucleus determine the juncture-nexus types of the Korean periphrastic causative construction in the framework of Role and Reference Grammar. The juncture-nexus type, in turn, determines the meanings expressed by the causative. In other words, the specific concept expressed by the causative nucleus -key (CLM) ha- 'do' is determined by the juncture-nexus type of the construction. It is the juncture-nexus types that matter with respect to the meanings expressed by the Korean periphrastic causative.

The Semantics of the Causee in the Periphrastic Causative Construction

이희철 대한언어학회 2008 언어학 Vol.16 No.3

The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 16(3), 213-232. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence which the case of causee NP has on the meanings expressed by the Korean periphrastic causative sentences. Lee (2008) provides the schematic representation of the concepts of causing, letting, and permitting, which he claims are expressed by causative sentences. Lee (2007) shows that the concept of causing is conveyed by the juncture-nexus type of nuclear cosubordination, the strongest Interclausal Syntactic Relation, as predicted by the Interclausal Relations Hierarchy of the Role and Reference Grammar, and that other concepts are represented by core coordination. Therefore, it is a legitimate question what influence the causee has on the meanings of the causative sentences.
