제 3 언어로서의 스페인어 발음 학습에 관한 제언: 미국 내 한국어 화자를 중심으로

Abstract

This study addresses the issue of how native Korean speakers living in the US have learned Spanish as a third language, particularly in terms of their pronunciation. Specifically, it delves into what characterizes their pronunciation, from what perspectives the pronunciation can be understood, and what researchers should take into account to examine their pronunciation. To do so, it first introduces models on L2 perception and production as well as models on L3 morphosyntax. Then, this study attempts to apply the main principles of the models to the learning contexts and characteristics of Korean Spanish learners in the US. Lastly, based on the theoretical underpinnings and their learning characteristics, it provides suggestions for empirical studies that intend to examine L3 Spanish pronunciation. This study can be useful for Korean learners of L3 Spanish and their parents, Spanish teachers, and L3 researchers. In addition, some theoretical and empirical suggestions of this study can be applicable to the Korean learners of L3 Spanish who live in Korea and English-speaking countries other than the US.
