드라마 영어에서 관습적인 표현에 대한 자각력 증진 방안에 관한 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is two-fold: 1) to help EFL learners distinguish between language oriented practical expressions (LOPE) and socially oriented practical expressions (SOPE) or conventionalized expressions and 2) to promote EFL learners’ awareness on SOPE in an English television series. In order to do this, one case study was performed. Participants were three college students who were English majors. Material was an American TV drama, Desperate Housewives, season 1, episode 1. This case study consisted of 3 phases. In the first phase, the subjects had no instruction and picked out their preferable expressions. In the second phase, they had instruction only about a definition of SOPE. In the third phrase, they experienced how to enter into the target speech community and what to learn. The result showed that all the subjects moved from LOPE through SOPE. They all agreed that SOPE would be the better choice. The subjects could move out of ‘language learning’ and move into ‘social learning’ which means learning social norms, values, symbols, etc. The pedagogical implication is this. When you, as a teacher, instruct SOPE or conventionalized expressions, you should guide your students like the third phase of this study. You would do well to talk about norms, values, and symbols with your students through media utterances.(Kookmin University)
