Abstract
이 연구는 중국인 한국어 학습자의 발음 학습 및 자가 평가를 통한 한국어 발음 향상 목적의 스마트폰 앱(App)을 개발하고, 이것을 실제 교육 현장에 적용하는 방안을 찾는 것에 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구팀은 중국인 한국어 학습자들이 많이 활용하는 구글 안드로이드 OS의 스마트폰을 기반으로, 한국어 발음 학습 및 평가 어플리케이션의 프로토타입(prototype)을 개발하였다. 그리고 개발 결과의 실제 교육적 적용을 위해서 TOPIK 3급 이상의 중국인 한국어 학습자와 한국어 교사를 대상으로 앱을 배포하고, 활용한 결과에 대해 피드백을 받았다. 본 연구팀이 개발한 앱은 한국어 학습자가 단어 수준의 한국어 발음을 연습하고 평가할 수 있는 앱이다. 이를 위해 사용한 음성 인식 시스템은 구글 음성 인식 시스템이다. 그리고 발음 수행에 대한 학습과 평가, 그리고 발음 지식에 대한 평가로 앱의 내용을 구성하였다. 학습자를 대상으로 한 앱 활용 피드백 결과, 스마트폰 앱으로 한국어 발음 학습 및 평가 시스템을 구현한 점은 긍정적으로 평가받았다. 다만 현재 개발된 앱이 아직 초기 단계라서 단어 수준의 학습 및 평가만 가능하다는 한계에 대한 지적이 있었다. 본 연구팀은 이상의 개선 사항 등을 고려하여 좀 더 학습자가 잘 활용할 수 있는 한국어 발음 학습 및 평가 어플리케이션을 완성하고자 한다.
This study aims to develop a smart phone application for Chinese students to improve their pronunciation by self-evaluation and education. It also aims to find a method that can be applied to a practical teaching environment. For this purpose, the current research team has developed an android based prototype application, as it is the most widely used operating system among Chinese students. This app allows the students to practice and evaluate their speaking skill word by word. Google speech recognition engine was used in the app to recognize the voice. The application functions to provide self study and automatic evaluation of word pronunciation. The app was tested and reviewed by Chinese students with a TOPIK level 3 and higher, in order to investigate the applicability in an actual teaching environment. The students gave positive feedback of the app as a tool to study and evaluate pronunciation. All students however, noted that the prototype was limited in function to only studying words and not sentences. Moving forward, such noted problems will be taken into consideration by the research team to further develop and upgrade a more user friendly app.
