한국어 학습자의 대화 능력 향상을 위한 대화 생성형 인공지능 활용 가능성 연구

Abstract

In Korean language education, there has been a shift from traditional formalism-based teaching methods to communication-centered approaches, leading to changes in learning methods. Additionally, the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology has placed greater emphasis on the role of educational guidance for Korean language instructors. This study explores whether ChatGPT can be used as a tool for practicing conversations to improve Korean language learners’ conversation skills. To this end, we investigated what prompts should be input when a learner practices conversation using ChatGPT and found a way to elicit meaningful responses. To find the information that needs to be input as a prompt, we first analyzed the patterns of suggested dialogues in Korean textbooks and identified the structure of “buying goods” conversations. Many of the suggested dialogues deviated from the conversation prototype. To determine the prompts required for practicing conversation using ChatGPT, we divided the information necessary for discourse situations and additional information based on the “conversation prototype.” We identified the prompt information structure of “achievement purpose of conversation, setting of location, setting of participants, and the participant role of ChatGPT.” With the identified prompt information structure, we conducted a total of 100 actual conversations in five different situations, 20 times each, and achieved successful conversations in 95 of them. This study has significance in that it demonstrates the potential applicability of AI in Korean language education.
