This thesis contrasts the sound systems, negation, and expression of definiteness of English and Korean. It analyzes the substitutions Korean learners of English made on both the phonological and syntactic levels. It also predicts possible problem areas and describes the sources of potential problems.By means of a contrastive analysis, the researcher found out that the greatest source of Korean learners' sound substitutions, incorrect uses of the response words Yes/No, and 'the-omission' errors is interference stemming from differences in the linguistic systems of the native and target language.This thesis proves the validity and practicability of Contrastive Analysis as a useful tool for teaching students English as a second or foreign language.

I offer evidence from a variety of fields in order to strengthen the hypothesis that Japonic and Korean are linguistically genetically related to one another. Non-linguistic evidence supports the hypothesis that the Japonic language was introduced into the Japanese Archipelago approximately 2,500 years ago over a thousand year period, where a culturally and technologically advanced group began migrating into the Japanese Archipelago from the Korean Peninsula through Northern Kyushu. A constant and steady influx of Continental culture, language, and people, resulted in the near-complete extinction of the original language. The linguistic evidence comes from Middle Korean texts, written in the Silla-descended language of the 15th century-the kingdom that overwhelmed the Puyo, Koguryo, and Paekche territory and languages, thought to be more closely related to Japonic-and 8th century Old Japanese texts. I hypothesize that there were two "thalossocracies": one with lzumo and Silla, and the second with Yamato and Paekche/Kaya Japonic elements were incorporated into the Silla language when Silla folded Kaya and Paekche into the new kingdom. In the same way, Yamato incorporated Silla-type elements into itself when Yamato overtook Izumo. I introduce evidence that supports Serafim's Labiovelar hypothesis; i.e. MK k : OJ p, reconstructing PKJ *kw1. I also found a "reverse" correspondence set: that is, MKp : OJ k, for which I reconstruct *kw2. I hypothesize that this reverse correspondence is due to dialect borrowing. When Silla conquered the Korean Peninsula, it incorporated into itself Kaya, Paekche, and Koguryo, which were closer in genetic relationship to Japonic, and therefore would have (*kw > ) p. As these three languages were overcome, dialect borrowing likely occurred, which means that words with p instead of (*kw > ) k were borrowed into Silla, sometimes replacing and sometimes forming doublets with words retaining k. The second posited case of dialect borrowing occurred when Yamato overtook lzumo; since Silla had close contact with lzumo, words with (*kw > ) k were borrowed into Yamato, replacing, and sometimes forming doublets with, some words with p. Further research will surely lead to more understanding of the measurable effects of dialect borrowing and Proto-Koreo-Japonic. / Thesis (Ph.

依據1957年韓文學會的《韓國語大辭典》 的分類，在韓國語詞彙中漢字詞占總詞彙的53%，與之相比，非漢字詞彙占47%。由此可見，由於韓國屬於漢字文化圈，所以韓國人在學習華語的時候，與非漢字文化圈的人相比，存在著許多優勢。不過實際上韓國學生在學習華語時經常遇到很多困難，而且有時候並不能精確地使用詞彙。我們發現韓語中部分的漢字詞與相對應的華語詞彙存在著同形同義和同形異義的現象，雖然同形同義詞只是在語法上有些微的差異，但這些差異會成為韓國學習者學習華語的困擾。不僅在學習華語時會產生誤解和誤用，甚而會影響華語交際。由於韓國學習者的漢字基礎常常會誤導他們，所以他們在學習與運用華語時，已有的韓語漢字基礎會對學習產生負遷移。 在第二語言學習中甘瑞瑗(2002) 指出，詞彙習得和詞彙教學是很重要的一環。對韓國學生來說，掌握華韓語之間漢字詞的關連性是能否有效運用華語的關鍵之一。因此，筆者認為，比較和分析「台灣華語8000詞」和與之相應的韓語漢字詞，具有學習上的幫助。 本文旨在以「台灣華語8000詞」 為中心，對照《韓國漢字語辭典》找出兩者之間的同形漢字詞，並把這些同形漢字詞分為同形同義詞、同形部分異義詞與同形完全異義詞三類，具體地分析台灣華語詞和韓語漢字詞的異同。接著以個案研究的方式，探討韓語漢字詞在韓國學生學習華語詞彙時是否帶來正遷移的現象；並以問卷調查的方式來檢驗韓國學生已認識的韓語漢字詞，是否也對華語詞彙學習造成負遷移的影響。 最後，根據個案調查及問卷研究結果，分別對華韓同形同義詞、同形部分異義詞與同形完全異義詞等三類，提出華語詞彙教學建議。 / According to the research of the Chinese Character Society which get published 1957 in the Korean Dictionary, 53% of the Korean vocabulary is based on the Chinese language. This high percentage demonstrates the great impact of the Chinese culture on the Korean language over a long time. Today, Korean learners of the Chinese language may take advantage of this historical and linguistic fact when compared to learners from Western countries. However, in practice, Korean learners still have great difficulties in acquiring the correct usage of a variety of Chinese words in spite of lexical similarities with their mother tongue. Interferences from the Korean language usage on the learners’ target language are an obvious fact. In a first approach, compared with the homographic vocabulary of the Chinese language, Chinese loan words in the Korean language can be classified into three main categories according to their semantic congruency: 1. homosemantic words: homographic words in both languages share principally the same lexical meaning (同形同義詞); 2. semantic congruent words: homographic words in both languages share a congruent basic meaning but lexical meaning differs in certain properties (同形部分異義詞); 3. semantic incongruent words: homographic words in both languages principally do not share a common lexical meaning (同形完全異義詞). The reason may be due to historical meaning changes in both languages. Semantic differences in basically semantic congruent words and semantic incongruency of homographic words both handicap correct vocabulary acquisition of the Chinese language by Korean learners and complicate their correct comprehension and correct usage of the Chinese language. The relevance of correct vocabulary acquisition was already pointed out by the research of Gan Ruiyuan (甘瑞瑗,2002). The present study wants to do a fresh approach in the study of the basic homographic vocabulary of Chinese and Korean languages in its significance for Chinese language teaching to Korean students. To do this, it compares the semantic features of the Chinese basic vocabulary listed in the Taiwanese dictionary 8000 Words in Chinese with their Korean homographics listed in the Dictionary of the Sino-Korean language and classifies the results according to the three categories of semantic congruency mentioned above. Semantic incongruent features are discussed regarding their difficulty both in acquisition and in the correct usage for Korean learners of the Chinese language. In addition, a short learner’s enquiry wants to give further insights into phenomena of language interference which appear in the usage of Chinese homographic vocabulary by Korean students. Finally, the study wants to give some practical suggestions for teaching Chinese homographic vocabulary to Korean students.

This is a comparative study of Korean students' request forms and aspects of their culture that has not been recognized in the field of speech. This offers an explanation for miscommunication between Korean speakers of English and native speakers of English. Lastly, this study provides empirical information about how Korean students use request forms and how Koreans' politeness strategies differ from Americans'.

A secondary focus of the study is to identify specific GLAD strategies that are observed to be effective at supporting the expanding vocabulary of students. Because English language learners need to learn and use vocabulary words for different purposes and in different contexts, this dissertation is focused on vocabulary development for second language acquisition that is not in the context of reading. Participants included 16 native Korean-speaking students (grade 1, N = 11; grade 2, N = 5) and their teachers ( N = 7). The teachers used seven GLAD strategies to implement their science curriculum over a period of approximately 7 weeks. All of the teacher resources that were necessary to implement the GLAD strategies were provided. Quantitative data were collected on curriculum dependent as well as curriculum independent measures and were analyzed using paired-samples t tests to determine if growth occurred in the student's English receptive and expressive vocabulary development. Results indicate that curriculum independent measures produced findings that were statistically significant in receptive language only, at least at the small sample size. Curriculum dependent measures, however, did produce findings of learning gains that were statistically significant in both areas. These findings suggest that when vocabulary words are carefully selected from the curriculum, intentionally taught and implemented through a variety of strategies, it is possible that receptive language and expressive vocabulary growth may occur on targeted vocabulary. Qualitative data were also collected through teacher interviews, observation checklists, and web-based teacher questionnaires. The qualitative data were coded and analyzed for patterns to provide information on the implementation and effectiveness of the GLAD strategies. Three strategies, the cognitive content dictionary, total physical response, and 10/2, were identified as strategies that were (a) used frequently, (b) showing effective use when implemented, and (c) used to teach the target vocabulary words. Qualitative data also revealed that these three strategies were used throughout the day and not exclusively during science. / Committee in charge: Kathleen Scalise, Chairperson, Educational Leadership; Gerald Tindal, Member, Educational Leadership; Edward Kameenui, Member, Special Education and Clinical Sciences; Jean Stockard, Outside Member, Planning Public Policy & Mgmt

Con el aumento en el uso de las TIC para el aprendizaje en distintos campos, resalta el crecimiento de las comunidades en línea, sobre todo de aquellas enfocadas al aprendizaje de lenguas, que plantean nuevos intereses de investigación en relación con el aprendizaje informal. Existen, pues, distintas investigaciones en el campo que han logrado estudiar aquellas comunidades online que se centran en el aprendizaje informal colaborativo de idiomas con el objetivo de aportar en el área de educación abriendo discusiones acerca de la creación de nuevos métodos de enseñanza y aprendizaje. Es por ello que la presente investigación busca analizar el aprendizaje informal en función de las interacciones entre los usuarios de la comunidad Aprende Coreano Amino la cual se caracteriza por ser una comunidad de aprendizaje de coreano en la que los participantes aportan y consumen contenido con el fin de aprender la lengua coreana mediante sus interacciones dentro de la plataforma. Con tal fin, se indagará sobre la motivación de los miembros para participar en la comunidad, y sobre sus prácticas y espacios de afinidad que se desarrollan dentro de la misma. Para lograrlo, se empleará el método netnográfico. Asimismo, se contactará a un grupo de participantes de la misma comunidad y se obtendrá el consentimiento para realizar entrevistas y observar su actividad en la plataforma durante un período determinado de tiempo. Por último, los datos recogidos por estas técnicas se analizarán mediante el análisis de contenido. / Along with the growing use of ICT on learning, the growth of online communities stands out, especially those focused on learning foreign languages. This has raised interest in doing research on informal learning. There are various studies that have focused on those online communities around collaborative informal language learning, aiming to improve theory on education studies by starting discussions on the creation of new studying and learning methods. This study also aims to analyze informal learning through the interactions of the users of the community Aprende Coreano Amino. This community is one of Korean language learning and members are supposed to build knowledge through their interactions. To reach our goals, the motivations of the members will be studied, as well as their practices and the affinity spaces within the platform. In order to do so, the netnographic approach will be used. In addition, a group of users will be contacted and asked for their consent to be interviewed and observed on the platform for a period of time. Finally, the collected data will be analyzed through the content analysis. / Trabajo de investigación
