한국인 학습자의 프랑스어 텍스트 읽기 양상:안구운동 추적기(oculom?trie)를 활용한 연구

Abstract

Taking the cognitive psychology approach, this study sought to investigate the aspect of Korean learners French text reading. Especially, it examined the readers eye movements (i.e., fixation and saccade) recorded by the eye-tracker. To this end, 14 Korean students of the French language at the language level of A2 and B1 or even higher, and three Frenches participated in the experiment. The results showed that when reading, the learners eyeballs did not follow the text but moved irregularly (i.e., saccade). The six major results were observed: (1) decoding a word in a syllable unit; (2) more fixation on grammatical words of Korean learners compared to French speakers; (3) reading repeatedly with numerous regressions; (4) irregularity of the duration of fixation; (5) numerous fixed points of long gaze duration; and (6) diversity of reading strategies. This suggest that readers pay a lot of attention when they process words, sentence structure, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to instruct Korean learners of French to reconcile spelling and phoneme as well as to reduce the learners anxiety towards French texts.
