의미관계를 이용한 어휘교육의 효과 연구* -고급 학습자를 중심으로- 9) 이 민 우 (고려대학교) Lee MinWoo. 2015. The effectiveness of vocabulary teaching using semantic relations. Journal of Korean Language Education 26-4: 165-190. This study investigated the differential effectiveness of vocabulary teaching using different semantic relations. The previous research reported that using semantic relations for vocabulary teaching is more effective than using thematic relations because of less interference effects. In addition to the effectiveness of using semantic relations, the studies also showed that using antonyms are more effective than synonyms and hypernyms/hyponyms. The effectiveness of those teaching methods appeared to interact with learners’ Korean proficiency. This study compared effectiveness of vocabulary teaching using synonyms versus antonyms for advanced learners of Korean as a second language. The study found that (1) presenting vocabulary using thematic relations, synonyms, and hyponyms should be discouraged because those relations do not support learners to perceive semantic meanings of the words clearly, while (2) it is supported by using antonyms more effectively. Moreover, (3) when using thematic relations and synonyms, learners’ perceptions on words can be enhanced when they can find difference in meaning through the contextual evidence.(Korea University) 주제어: 한국어교육(Korean language education), 어휘교육(Vocabulary education), 의미관계(Semantic relation ), 반의관계(antonymy), 유의관계(synonymy), 상하관계(taxonomy), 어휘교육의 효과 (Effect on vocabulary education), 어휘교육 방법(Method of vocabulary education) * 이 논문은 2014년 정부(교육부)의 재원으로 한국연구재단의 지원을 받아 수행된 연구임 (NRF-2014S1A5B5A07041824).
