핵심어 기법을 활용한 한국어 어휘학습 효과검증 연구 : 영어권 초급 학습자를 중심으로

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Even though communication can be possible without grammar, it becomes impossible without vocabulary. Acquiring a rich vocabulary is crucial for successful language learning and fluent communication. Lack of vocabulary becomes a significant issue in language learning. The ultimate goal for learners attempting to learn a foreign language is to communicate effectively. Vocabulary acquisition, therefore, becomes an essential process for achieving this goal. However, while vocabulary is recognized as a fundamental element for successful language learning, acquiring and retaining a large vocabulary is not easy as expected. This difficulty stems from the limitations of human memory. Generally, efficiently memorizing a significant amount of vocabulary within a short period is challenging for foreign language learners, adding to their learning burden. To alleviate this burden of memorization, various mnemonic techniques have been traditionally researched, among which the 'Keyword Method' has been proven effective in vocabulary learning through numerous studies. The Keyword Method involves linking the target word in the learning language with a 'keyword' in the native language, forming a mental 'image' that interacts between the keyword and the native language word to learn the meaning of the target word. Here, the 'keyword' refers to a native language word that shares some similarity in pronunciation with the target word, and the 'image' refers to the learners creating a mental image of the material to be easily stored in long-term memory. In Korea, the Keyword Method has gained significant attention in the field of English education, and there is widespread availability of vocabulary lists and lectures utilizing this technique. However, research in the field of Korean language education regarding this method is not well-established, and there is a lack of studies validating its effectiveness. Therefore, due to the scarcity of samples, it is challenging to prove the effectiveness of the Keyword Method in Korean vocabulary retention. Consequently, this study aims to verify if the Keyword Method is effective in Korean vocabulary retention and thereby demonstrate its potential as a new approach in Korean vocabulary education.
