Abstract

The study was conducted to find out lexical complexity and syntactic complexity for Korean learners by telling stories to see pictures. The results were as follows. First, there was no meaningful difference according to nationality. Second, we checked the differences on lexical complexity and syntactic complexity according to Korean studying period, only number of difference words showed meaningful difference among lexical complexity sub variables, but there was no difference among syntactic complexity sub variables. Third, we also checked correlation among staying period of Korea, Korean studying period, and other language related variables. It showed meaningful correlation staying period in Korea and other language related variable except Korean studying period and TTR. The directions for teaching Korean learners were suggested on the point of converge view according to results.

본 연구는 한국인 학습자의 어휘복잡성 및 구문복잡성에 대해서 알아보았다. 이를 통해 이들의 한국어 실제 능력을 알아보며, 이를 토대로 이들에 대한 한국어 지도 방향을 설정하기 위해 실시하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 국적에 따른 어휘복잡성 및 구문복잡성에는 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 둘째, 한국어 학습기간에 따른 어휘복잡성과 구문복잡성을 살펴본 결과 어휘복잡성의 하위 변인 중 다른 낱말 수에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타났으나, 구문복잡성의 하위 변인에서는 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 셋째, 한국거주기간, 한국어학습기간 및 언어 관련 변인들과의 상관을 살펴본 결과 한국어 학습기간과 TTR을 제외한 다른 변인들은 유의한 상관을 보였다. 연구결과에 따른 융합적 관점에서 한국어 학습자들을 위한 교육적 방향에 대하여 논의하였다.
