2 The Study Question Background The Study Results Discussions Q & A Presentation Outline 2

3 What are the grammar structures/features that learners of Korean typically control at a given level of oral proficiency? [From the perspective of teaching & learning - 김지민 (2009); Corder (1981)] The Study Question 3

4 Level 1 Able to ask and answer simple questions related to everyday survival needs Able to satisfy minimum courtesy requirements Able to deal with routine everyday situations Able to talk simply about self Tasks that learners can handle at each level – ILR L1 4

5 Level 2 Able to satisfy routine social demands and limited work requirements Able to narrate and describe in all three time frames Able to give detailed instructions/directions Able to participate in conversations on current events as well as give detailed information about work, family and self Tasks that learners can handle at each level – ILR L2 5

6 Level 3 Able to participate in most formal and informal conversations on practical, social and professional topics Able to support opinion in the FLO content areas Able to hypothesize Able to discuss concrete and abstract topics Able to discuss topics of particular interest Able to deal with unfamiliar situations Tasks that learners can handle at each level – ILR L3 6

7 Level 1 Structural accuracy is random or severely limited Almost every utterance has errors in basic structures Time concepts are vague Can formulate some questions Structural control that learners are to have at each level – ILR L1 7

8 Level 2 Discourse is minimally cohesive Grammatical structures are usually not very elaborate and not thoroughly controlled Errors are frequent Simple structure and basic grammatical relations are typically controlled Structural control that learners are to have at each level – ILR L2 8

9 Level 3 Effectively combines structure and vocabulary to convey meaning Discourse is cohesive Use of structural devices is flexible and elaborate Errors occur in low frequency and highly complex structures, but structural inaccuracy rarely causes misunderstanding Structural control that learners are to have at each level – ILR L3 9

10 Data Collection Face-to-face diagnostic oral assessment interviews conducted by a pair of specialists (David Moon, EM, AS, JY, YR, NT) During June 1999 – September 2000 55 students: L0+ (1), L1 (15), L1+ (18), L2 (14), L2+ (6), L3 (1) The tool: Sample The study: data collection 10

11 Structural Features Sentence patterns: Plain, Honorific, Quotation Verb conjugations: Irregular, Special Complex constructions: Passive, Attributive, Negation Particles: Case, Locative, Instrumental, Auxiliary Cardinal/Ordinal Number: Native, Sino-Korean agreement Pronouns: Personal, Things, Places Conjunctions: Basic, Advanced, Conjunctive Fillers The study: structural features examined 11
