This study investigates the use of a discovery learning method using concordances to teach prepositions, which are considered multi-meaning, low-transparency, and high-frequency words. The study presents a specific way to examine the versatility of prepositions that are difficult for learners to understand through context using concordances. In order to use the corpus for education (exploiting corpora to teach), the instructor- selected concordances were provided to the learners to discover the usage and meaning of each preposition. The results indicated that learners made remarkable progress in the use of correct prepositions when using the corpus of the experimental group for each preposition. Exploratory learning using the corpus proved more effective than traditional lecture-based instruction, and the validity of using the concordances was demonstrated, which could encourage the authentic use of language in teaching and learning. .

This study aims to investigate a range of lexical errors frequently made by adult Korean learners of English in spoken contexts, as well as to explore effective instructional methods for dealing with lexical error patterns. The data collection process included analyzing a spoken learner corpus established through online conversation sessions among a native English speaking instructor and 21 Korean cyber university students. The spoken learner corpus underwent a thorough review, and then the related error data were analyzed and coded using the Types of Error suggested by Ferris (2002). This corpus-based error analysis was used to facilitate the identification of lexical errors and their patterns that occur most frequently in spoking English, so that English learners could benefit from more accurate and specific information regarding vocabulary use. This study is expected to enable foreign language learners to reduce lexical errors by helping them to perceive their most frequent errors and correct these mistakes through self-directed learning. In addition, an accurate database of lexical errors could help teachers improve the effectiveness of their vocabulary instruction, which would not only increase students’ lexical ability but also help ensure the attainment of the ultimate goal of language education: efficient communication.

This paper explores the complexities of constructing the English Loanwords Contents (ELC) database, which is a listing of English loanwords culled from four dictionaries and hundreds of articles in Korean newspapers. The database is examined for its use as an educational tool for English as a Second Language learners in Korea, particularly with respect to vocabulary.

생성형 AI 기술을 활용한 교양영어수업이 EFL 대학생들의 영어 말하기에 미치는 영향

This study explores how generative AI, particularly ChatGPT, can enhance English language education, focusing on personalized learning to maximize each learner’s potential. In an English conversation class, students in the experimental group used ChatGPT as a learning tool after the instructor provided preliminary training. The study compared the improvement in speaking skills between the experimental and control groups and observed learners’ attitudes towards ChatGPT. Results indicated that the experimental group showed significantly greater improvement in speaking skills and positive changes in affective attitudes towards learning with ChatGPT. The findings suggest the need for continuous efforts in the application of AI technology to English teaching methods to aid in improving learners' English speaking skills. .

성인영어학습자의 발화오류분석을 통한 전치사 사용 연구

영어전치사의 수는 제한되어 있지만 문장의 구조에 중요한 표식으로 작용하며 전치사의 사용이 상대방과의 의사소통에 있어서 명확한 내용을 전달하는 동시에 문장이 가진 섬세한 의미 차를 나타낼 수 있어 영어 학습과 교육에 있어 중요한 교수 항목이 되고 있다. 그러나 영어전치사는 영어를 외국어(EFL)로 배우는 학습자가 완벽히 습득하기에 가장 어려운 문법요소로서, 전치사의 다양한 종류와 의미, 복잡한 사용규칙으로 영어 학습에 혼란과 어려움을 발생시켜 가장 많은 학습자 사용 오류가 발생하는 품사이다. 이에 사이버대학의 영어학과에서 운영 중인 원어민 교수자와 학습자의 화상 수업을 통해 녹음된 학습자 발화 자료를 이용하여 학습자구어코퍼스(Korean learner corpus of English)를 구축한 뒤, 이를 기반으로 전치사 사용에 대한 학습자 발화 오류를 조사하고 분석하여 이론적 고찰과 더불어 전치사 사용 오류의 종류, 내용 및 원인을 파악하여 학습자들이 겪는 전치사의 학습상의 어려움을 이해하고 한국의 영어 교육 상황에 실질적으로 적용할 수 있는 효율적인 영어전치사 교육을 위한 방향을 논의하고자 하였다. 연구참여자들의 전치사 발화오류의 형태별 비율은 대치>첨가>생략>재배열의 순서로 나타났으며 전치사의 의미가 기본적인 의미에서 추상적인 의미로 확대되어 가는 과정에 대한 설명을 수반한 핵심 의미를 통한 학습 지도 방법이 필요하겠다. English prepositions are one of the most difficult grammar element for learners of English as a Foreign Language(EFL), often causing confusion and difficulty related to the various kinds of prepositions, meanings, and complex rules. Complete matching between a learner’s mother tongue and English is not possible because of the versatility of prepositions. This situation frustrates the learner’s tendency to find similarities between his or her mother tongue and English as a foreign language. The purpose of this study is investigate a range of prepositional errors made by Korean learners of English in spoken contexts as well as explore effective instructional methods. In addition to addressing theoretical considerations, this study examines the types, contents, and causes of prepositional errors to understand the learning difficulties experienced by learners through analyzing a Korean learner corpus of English. The learner corpus constructed by using learners’ utterance data recorded through video lessons between a native English teacher and learners in the English department of an online university. As a pedagogical solution for dealing with English prepositions, this study suggests an explanatory, semantically-based instruction which allows for deeper learning and increased longer rates of retention.

This study aims to analyze teaching effects through the students" perceptions as identified a student survey by maximizing participation opportunities for situational learning, experience expansion, and problem-solving skills through blended learning. The study identifies ways to reinforce educational materials and provide learner satisfaction by expanding this realistic, participation-based education. Considering the application, possibility, and values of education, this study used Metaverse as a learning platform to provide an environment in which the learners can continuously communicate in English both inside and outside the classroom by taking advantage of e-learning benefits and maintaining both online and offline learning. Metaverse can expand the scope of learning experiences and teaching contents in the online community environment and promotes free interactions at the face-to-face level.

This study examines the educational effectiveness of the corpus and corpus analysis tool by considering the various corpus analysis tools available for the educational utilization of the corpus and selecting appropriate tools for the learning purpose, learning content, and learning target. Using the educational corpus in the EFL environment allows learners to acquire contextualized grammatical knowledge through the real language used by native speakers and helps learners understand how to make sentences. When acquiring the meaning and form of language through corpus-based activities, learners are exposed to repetitive linguistic structures as cognitive subjects rather than passive recipients of knowledge. Such activities can be used as an optimal means of generalizing noticing, enhancing language acquisition, and increasing language uptake. In data-driven learning, learners take the initiative in learning language as researchers who discover and analyze rules by becoming familiar with various patterns of the target language through vast amounts of language data. Psychological processing by noticing language use facilitates the conversion of learning into long-term memory, enabling effective language learning. Learning grammar using data-driven learning has demonstrated excellent learning effects as learners focus on grammar forms and examine their practical uses to gain meaningful language use experience.
