중국인 학습자의 한국어 모음 지각양상 연구

Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to provide basic data on Korean vowel listening education by identifying perceptual error patterns by gender, Korean proficiency, and initial consonant through listening experiments of Chinese Korean learners, and analyzing the association between simple and double vowels.
 Methods To this end, a total of 30 subjects, 15 Chinese men and women in their 20s and 30s who speak the Chinese standard language, were selected as subjects, and listening experiments by gender, Korean proficiency, and initial consonant were conducted.
 Results As a result of the study, first, it was found that the gender of Chinese learners did not affect the Korean vowel perception error. Second, /ㅗ/ and /ㅛ/ did not improve errors even in intermediate and advanced levels. And in the case of /ㅓ/ and /ㅕ/, the frequency of perceptual errors in intermediate and advanced levels was higher than that of beginners. Third, Chinese learners generally had the most simple vowel perception errors in initial consonants /ㅎ/, but in the case of simple and double vowels, there were no regularity of incorrectly perceiving certain vowels by replacing them with other vowels was found. Fourth, Chinese learners had many errors in perception of /ㅗ/, so there were many errors in perception of /ㅛ/ and since it is difficult to discriminate between the simple vowels /ㅗ/ and /ㅜ/, it is also difficult to discriminate between the double vowels /ㅛ/ and /ㅠ/.
 Conclusions Chinese learners should be guided to listen to Korean vowels by referring to the types of vowel perceptual errors in this study.
